How long did it take to get rid of the damaged ends?

[Knedgers]

At the beginning of your journey how long did it take to get rid of your damage split or overprocessed ends? I am try to cut them of gradually but how long will it take for me to get to a point where I wont have to chop every few months?? It really makes it seem like you not making progress. I know I am but I am anxious to start seeing length should I do a BC??

It depends on how much overprocessed hair you have and how much you are cutting.

well thetruth is im not sure how much I have been relaxing every 4 weekd forever. I started my journey in november without a bc. So I guess I should just cut all the crunchy ends off so I can start taking care of the healthy ones

It depends on how long your hair is, how much damaged hair you have and how fast your hair grows. Essentially you have to grow a whole new head of hair. Or at least enough to balance out the damaged hair you're cutting. However long you think it'll take for you to regrow all the damaged hair on your head is how long it should take for you to get rid of all the damaged ends/hair. Unless you chop it all at once.

I've been clipping and clipping for a year. I'm finally DONE. I can't say that it took that long to get rid of the splits, but I was also getting rid of some of the layers, too.

Here is what I started with, this was a virgin relaxer after 2 years natural.

Same here, only I'm getting rid of 1/2 inch every 2 months. When I reach 3 inches past BSL, then I'll cut those 3 inches back to BSL, and I should be done. By June 2009...Watch Out, MBL!!!
