About three weeks ago i made the big decision of getting my hair into a bob, though i have had it long all my life (im 17) and now i really hate it! I cant do anything with it, and it makes me look about twenty lol. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what i can do with it (pictures maybe?), or will hair extensions work? and how long will it take to grow back? thanks!
Everyone's hair grows at different rates, but it should only take a few months to get some length back in it. Have you thought about experimenting with strong colours while you wait for it to grow. Without knowing what you look like it's hard to recommend, but a platinum blonde or deep red make short haircuts look fab
I've had short hair all my life, so not being able to do anything with it does become normal. While you are waiting to grow it out (which is .5" a month), just think of the advantages of a bob.
1. Takes less time to dry/straighten
2. Less shampoo
3. Totally chic
4. Most people don't put effort into styling their long hair anyway
5. Very flattering unless your face is short and wide
6. Looking 20 isn't a bad thing, looking 12 is.
And hair extensions are really bad for your existing hair so I wouldn't recommend them. And what you can do depends on how short it is. But you can let it go wavy, do a half-up half down, get a headband, etc.

Well having a bob makes your face and body look thin
And if it makes you look about 20 is that not a good thing because all young people want to look older dont they?
You are probably just not used to having your hair so short and when it was long you probably done loads of things to your hair and you are just not used to not doing anything.
If you are thinking about using extensions then wait till your hair is a bit longer because i know someone who cut their short and then put extensions in and she just looked ridiculous!
Even if you extensions were layered, it would way nicer.
If you want your hair to be long again it would take 1 year at least depending on how long your hair was
Hope this helps
