# Grow Selection

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Grow Selection command** for hair in **Cinema 4D**. It expands an existing guide or point selection to its neighbors step by step — useful for widening a selection gradually instead of re-selecting by hand.

Use this tool to expand the selection to neighboring guides or guide point selections. Point selections can only be expanded to neighboring points on the same (vertex) layer, not along the guide themselves.
