I hear you about overtrimming, though. I wanted to do maintenance trims every 3 months because I never want to be in a position again where I had a bunch of splits and had to cut off more than I wanted at one time. I want to stay on top of it. That and the fact that I'll be wearing my hair out most of the time, which I don't really want to compromise on. I guess this year will be a test to see if I can retain length without protective styling if the rest of my regimen is on point.
A lot to consider though. Maybe I'll go in for my first dusting at 4 months instead of 3 and see how everything is looking and re-asses from there.
I think that's a good plan. I have my doubts about how much one can retain having a stylist trim your hair every 3 months. Almost all of them over trim, saying you "need" it. What does need even mean for hair, which is dead? If your hair was not causing you problems before and it looked okay to you before, who's to say that your hair "needed" several inches trimmed off. Needed for what? Definitely assess again after the first trim.
