Wow, Your hair has filled in so nicely I was considering a 4-5 inch cut. Listening too much to all this thick ends propaganda. But kept saying that my hair just is not ever going to be like that. So I am sticking with the Cinnamon Hair practice and will let my hair naturally fill end.
Your hair looks great.
This thread is pretty positive, but hopefully both views of trimming to goal as well as trim when you reach goal are welcome . Cinnamon stated her hair was in terrible shape due to a lack of trimming and bad hair care. She initially trimmed 7 inches, and then 2 inches every year until she reached a milestone and then she would maintain. Cinnamon is pro-trimming. I don't think anyone was trying to be hurtful in stating their views on "lead hairs"... but rather trying to clear up what was being believed by some that without trimming, shorter layers will on their own catch up with longer layers.
If I know someone doesn't believe in trimming their hair until they reach their goals, then I'll support their decision and encourage them even though I disagree with their methods.... that's one thing I like about this thread....
however, when the word propaganda is used, it leaves me with the impression that the views of those who are pro-trimmers aren't welcomed and this is more of a support thread for non-trimmers.

Okay.... I Love you all but....
The hair traffic police has arrived..... Bad talking is :ban2:not allowed. We have to develop the timeout chair...
This thread is made up of all of different types women i.e. dusters, trimmers, cutters and yes, on occasion, a chopper... The only one's that get their hands slapped(in a loving way) is the chopper who doesn't need to chop. We have a wide range of hair care routines and methods that we choose to reach our goals. Being a part of the LHCF is a hair learning experience. If any of us were perfect, we probably would have never joined this site. So, there are going to be some successes and failures, strong views and open minds, those who mature and those who don't. All women are welcome here no matter what category they fall in. I am hoping this thread will stay free of attacks and bashing like a lot of other threads I read. Let's keep it clean up in here and continue to share the good vibes...
This thread a learning and history making thread. I support you all no matter what decisions you make, because you are the one that must be happy with your choices. In the end it doesn't matter what I or someone else thinks...
Happy Hair Growing! and remember KEEP IT CLEAN!
Vintagecoilylocks Anyway, just wanted to step in because I realize there's a misunderstanding on what regular trimmers like Spring advocate, and it isn't blunt cuts in the sense that all the hair falls to one level.
I believe it is propaganda to say that the only healthy hair is thick blunt cut hair. Then to go on and use derogatory terms in reference to anything but a blunt cut hair style. That is propoganda. It is an attempt to intimidate any one who does not blunt cut their hair. Even the method of S&D has been attacked. Their are people on this website who speak strongly for blunt cut and say that basically any thing other than thick blunt cut hair is not healthy. Those statements come up alot and there are others who are not as tollerent as you and state strongly that there is no such thing as lead hairs. They do not do as you have stated and leave it up to individuals. When I read words like "ragedy" and "messed up" if it is not blunt cut ends I can only state that it is a bias attitude attempting to propaganda their views.

I get around that by saying that hair is in "good condition" (or it isn't).we can agree that hair terminology such as "healthy" is subjective

And just to show how irrational our preferences can sometimes be (or at least mine anyway), I dislike fairy tale ends on type 1-2 hair, but see nothing wrong with it for type 3-4. Go figure.
@Candy828 Maybe you should try mixing up your sources of protein and not just have soy daily (which isn't the best source).
Thanks. I do try... but limited in this country.... I have eggs, chicken, nuts etc... But this is the land of soy. Soybean Paste, Powder... you name it, they got it. I don't eat red meat. Do feel free to jump in with suggestions though! I am sure others would benefit as well.
I sometimes use hemp seed powder and pumpkin seed powder. Not sure if you have that where you live. There's also nuts which I soak and blend in smoothies.
