Well ummm :blush:...uhhhh :giggle:

I discovered a long time ago in 2015 after doing some measurements that my hair grows 0.75 inches a month, and not the average 0.5 inches per month.

So my hair grows pretty fast and all I do is focus on retaining.

PLUS I'm built like a spider, so BSL, MBL, and WL are very short distances from each other on my body :lol:

Lucky lady!!
As a slow grower, I'll be watching your progress with lots of interest! :love2:

And, yeah, take it easy on yourself - you've been through a lot! But you're getting back on your HHJ and I'm sure you'll see the difference in your hair soon. :)

I fixed that for you to make it more accurate and true.
 
I looked at my post in which I listed the products I'm using. I forgot to mention that I'll also be using Wild Growth Oil, Nature's Bounty HSN gummies w/collagen, and Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (as my main leave in)

I'm not very consistent with the WGO but I'm wanting to use up my 2 bottles. I already finished one (I had 3 total).

I try to remember to take the gummies :look:

Your hair ends look thick, full and even and gorgeous.

Do you have split ends? Is that why you are trimming? Or, do you prefer perfectly blunt ends? Or, are there other reasons for why you are planning to trim?

To be transparent, although I trim my hair more often in a year now, I am “trim adverse”.

The idea of trimming creates anxiety for me, so because of my own personal issues I’m questioning the trim now.

The questioning is coming from a place of fear ( me having done it wrong- others having cut too much of my hair). The questioning is not coming from a place of criticism or judgement of you and your choice.

I would say it's for two main reasons. I do have some split ends from some experiments I did early last year that I've been slowly trimming off. Currently I am trying to keep the condition of my hair in a good enough state that I can get the compromised hair off over time without too much issue.

The other part is that I am trying to keep the nape in check a bit. It can grow out much faster than other areas but that can leave it vulnerable to damage so I try to keep it somewhat close to the rest. Most of my hair isn't blunt but that section is since it gets a little but cut off periodically so it does give that appearance.

I don't mind the trims because I'm doing them so I get to decide how much and where things get cut off.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify and explain to me in detail. I appreciate it.
