Anyone up for a NO TRIM challenge?

How's the challenge going ladies? I haven't started yet. I'm going to get a relaxer and a trim tomorrow. I am thinking cutting my hair in layers- again. :perplexed

This challenge is going ok so far. I'm trying to keep my hair and ends moisturized daily and I hide my ends everyday in a pin up style. I'm baggying my ends almost every night. Are you sure you want to cut your hair in layers again? Why not just get a simple trim or dusting and give your hair a chance to grow out the old layers? You may end up liking it, but the choice is yours though. Think about it.
 
no trims for me. I had my ends dusted back in jan of 2007! Every time i let someone cut my hair i always regret it. i feel when my hair gets cut it just stays the same size or gets shorter and shorter, i will probably dust it after it grows like 3 more inches though, but not before.:yep:

If at all possible, can you post pics of your protective style?

I went to the salon this morning and got a relaxer and a trim. My hair is already layered, but the layers are growing out. I told her to just take a little bit off, and she did. She didn't cut any new layers, just redefined what was already there. I'll probably wait until the fall/winter to get layers.

:wave: Hi redliz81. You've been added!

I think a lot of us women have been taught that not trimming could lead to a potential disaster. However, it can lead to length retention of you properly care for your hair in between trims, e.g., moisturizing your ends and wearing protective styles, just to name a few. There are a number of women on the board who do not trim as often as some of us have been "taught." Stick around a while and you will see what I mean!

Yes, I will post them later this coming week after I wash. I'm glad you decided to hold off on cutting new layers!
 
Well, I almost did a trim last night, but I fought the urge. I thought about you ladies here and my commitment to the challenge and said I can't let you down.

My goal is to be APL by 8/31, hopefully I'll meet it and be a little past it so when I trim I will still be at my goal length. Sigh! here is to wishful thinking.

Did you trim before you started the challenge? That's allowed. :look:
 
Ladies my entire family is natural , on the weekend I met my sister and nieces for morning prayer meeting, then breakfast . My nieces hair was flat ironed and evenly trimmed in layers , it had to be the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Boy is it tempting to just loose some inches for that look:nono:
