To be honest, I hate fads. Transient fads encourage waste, and consumers buy the latest hot item in order to be in vogue or to get social media "likes". Consumers buy the latest hot item to get in on the bandwagon or to get social media "likes. Then, in the blink of an eye, fads change, cosmetics go bad, and clothes become trash. In my opinion, beauty and fashion should be a means of self-expression and individuality.

Therefore, it is always refreshing to see anyone, especially celebrities, adhering to their signature look rather than blindly following the crowd. This is because beloved singer and actress Selena Gomez is growing her long hair out rather than chopping it off like many women of her generation.

Kate Beckinsale, Shay Mitchell, Lady Gaga, and Carey Mulligan are just a few of the celebrities who have gone for the short, blunt look of boy cuts and bobs this winter. And while they all look great, I am disappointed when they all look the same, both in Hollywood and out. Gomez is certainly participating in the hair-lightening trend sweeping the red carpet and social media, but it's refreshing to see her soaking in the trend in her own way, incorporating only the looks that she feels are authentic to her, rather than all of the trends at once.

If you too want to grow your hair or maintain the mane you already have, consider investing in hair growth products such as vitamins, shampoos, and oils designed to support healthy hair growth and maintenance from the inside out. You can also use high-end hair glosses and leave-in conditioners to get the shine of Gomez's hair.
