Well, ask yourself – what is the hair moving out of?
We not only move out of literal, physical things like clothes, but conceptual things also.
Some ideas are like solid things – it takes some effort to change them.
So when you are growing out your hair, you are growing out of – your OLD haircut.
People typically say that they are growing out their hair when they have had short hair for a long time. The short haircut is like an idea that they are very accustomed to. When they grow out the hair, they leave the old haircut behind, and it cannot be used for as long as the hair is longer.

'Grow out'은 무언가가 자라거나 커서 더 이상 필요하지 않거나 원하지 않을 때 그것을 자연스럽게 떼어내거나 없애는 것을 의미합니다. 'Grow'와는 달리 'grow out'은 무언가가 자연스럽게 떼어지거나 없어지는 과정을 강조합니다.
예를 들어, "I need to grow out my bangs because they are getting too long"라고 말할 수 있습니다. 이 경우에는 앞머리가 너무 길어져서 더 이상 원하지 않는 상태가 되었기 때문에 떼어내거나 자르는 과정을 의미합니다.
또 다른 예로, "I'm growing out of my old clothes and need to buy new ones"라고 말할 수 있습니다. 이 경우에는 옷이 작아져서 더 이상 입을 수 없는 상태가 되었기 때문에 새로운 옷을 사야 하는 과정을 의미합니다.
이처럼 'grow out'은 무언가가 자연스럽게 떼어지거나 없어지는 과정을 나타내는 표현으로, 'grow'와는 달리 더 구체적이고 특정한 상황을 설명할 때 사용됩니다.

Breakdown the verbal phrase to see what it means –
To grow – to move from the state of being smaller, to being bigger
Out – this is the directional preposition. It tells us what type of movement and direction the action is taking. Something which goes out moves from the inside of something, to the outside of something.
So, sometimes a child needs to get new clothes because the old ones are too small. He or she has GROWN OUT of their clothes. Because of the action of growing, they can no longer fit INSIDE the clothes. They are now permanently OUTSIDE these particular clothes, because they don’t fit any more.
