How to Fix a Triangular Haircut Grow-Out Without Losing Length

If you’ve ever let your hair grow out only to find yourself stuck with a wide, bulky shape at the bottom and a heavy, flat top, you’re not alone. This is the dreaded triangular grow-out, and it happens more often than you’d think. Whether you have curly, wavy, or thick hair, you’ve probably experienced this awkward phase—especially around the bob-to-shoulder length transition. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice length to fix it. Let’s dive into what causes this problem, what mistakes to avoid, and how to reshape your haircut for a seamless grow-out. Keep in mind, there are plenty of adorable cuts that are meant to be triangular in shape, French, Italian and A-Line bobs can all be very triangular, but that’s what gives them their iconic shape. We are not talking about those here! This is for people who hate the “bell shape” grow out and want to fix that!

Big Things Are Happening at MOD!

2024 was a very transformative year for the MOD! For the last 11 years, I have worked primarily as the only stylist in the business, with the exception of two booth renters and an assistant. When I decided to become a commission salon last year and hire employees, it was not a decision that I took lightly. I sought help from hairstyling coaches, salon owner's networking groups and financial and tax professionals, read books about CEO mindsets, joined local small business owners networking groups, went to seminars regarding social media and hair photography, and went to live hair education. Through all of this, I have started to hire a team of professionals based on personality, merit, desire to learn and grow, and people who want to be a part of a team. MOD is a very small and cozy space and I want you to know where my decision making was coming from as I decided to being people into our little salon home. The next time you're in, you might notice that the salon feels a little more lively, and see some new faces and talent!

Our SITCH: Sustainable, Clean Hair Care That Works

For years, I’ve searched high and low for a product line that truly “does what it says it will do.” I’d find a few products I loved in one line and a few in another, but it was rare to find a complete line that delivered consistently. On top of that, product lines are often massive, making it hard for a salon to carry a full range without some items collecting dust on the shelf. Finding a professional line that’s ethical, locally owned, created by hairstylists, clean, and refillable felt impossible—until SITCH found us.
