Thin doesn't mean weak automatically. Most times the thin ends you're seeing are the hairs that have pushed out in fornt of the rest of your hair, the rest will catch up then your hair will thicken and stretch out again.
I do S&D mission on the little splits, when I see them otherwise I'm not evening up until I reach a big goal cause I've lost alot of length trying to chase the blunt hairline.
Check out Chicoro's fokti to see the growth pattern and her growth method. hth

excellent point lucia!
never thought of that!
i think this thread is so fascinating
a majority of you don't trim often and still have great healthy hair & ends
also alot of u baggie or keep ends protected
these are the 2 major things i have learned since being on this board
my sister-in law trims maybe 1-2x a year and she has thick waist length hair
she wears it down most of the time
and is very "low manipulation"
she doesn't baggie but her texture is like that of boar bristle
so it takes alot to damage it
my stylist used 2 trim (cut) my hair religiously every 3 months
at first i didn't care b/c i wasn't trying to grow it out
but about 2 years ago i decided 2 grow it longer than my shoulders
and since my hair grows fast i wondered why it wasn't getting longer
now my ends were fabu
but it was at the same length!
i also am learning my hair growth patterns w/ chicoro's help
i haven't figured out a schedule yet but i have started dusting
and checking for knots
since oiling & sealing, and keeping my ends off my clothes my ends look great!
in just a few months i have made so much progress
and am almost at bsl!
thanks guys!
