What Hairstyles Can I Do While I Am Trying to Grow out My Hair?

Right now, my hair is past my neck. I want to grow it up to my back. Well that's how long it used to be a couple weeks back but it was really damaged so I had to trim it to make a fresh start.

Suggestion:

Braids! There is so many ways to use the hair with braids so don't feel limited. They always look nice and even do good in a more relaxed situation. Plus they are good for growing hair. They keep your hair from breaking and from too much strain on them. Oh and they look like spiral curls when you take them out, thus negating the use of a curling iron.
