My hair was last trimmed/corrective cut in March and I am wondering if it is time to trim again. Here is the condition of my hair: no split ends, back is really healthy, short pieces in front around hairline due to previous over processing at salon. I used to be obsessed with blunt even hair when I wore straight hair. However, I now favor waving, curly hairstyles since I began transitioning - Curlformers, flexi rods or braid outs with no direct heat. My preference is to wait a year before I trim again but wanted to get the opinions of others. TIA

If it is behaving and the ends look good, why cut? I usually just put my hair in Twist and if the ends look a bit straggely then I'll cut.
Thank you for your reply. I am used to keeping my hair straight and blunt. Now that I wear it in waving/curly styles and maintain at home, I am like a fish out of water when it comes to trims. I never had a trim schedule. My stylist or I would decide when I needed a trim.

Sorry to be the dissenter, but I tried not trimming for a year once and had a major set back. Major knots, split ends, etc., had to be cut out. I try to keep a quarterly schedule of trimming now.

I'm pro trim. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Plus even ends make a world of difference in how good your hair looks. I've found this to be true even when my hair is in it's natural state and I'm wearing an out style.
That's the key if you are having issues that indicate it's time to trim then by all means trim. But if it ain't broke why cut it?
