grow out

Let hair extend

To grow out is to let something reach full length by not cutting it: She's growing out her bangs.

Hair or nails grow out from the root, and a dye job or manicure grows out as new growth appears.

A child grows out of clothes or habits by outgrowing them.

Something you grow out of eventually passes: It's just a phase—he'll grow out of it.
