I wasnt gonna tell you guys. I felt like a failure. But I decided to share to warn others. You MUST BE PATIENT!!
Ok here's my story. Ive been growing my chin length hair out since Dec. It was finally past my shoulders.. FINALLY! I put a black rinse in (cuz I have hella greys) and loved it. Then over the next 2 weeks my hair changed - maybe from the rinse- i dont know?? My sister said it was wirey and dry. It looked broken and I couldnt get it to lay down in the back . I started trippin'... rinsing, washing, curling. I dont know why i was so frantic. I think i was just afraid that my hair was falling out or something. That all my work had been for nothing.
I coulda just put it up for a few weeks. I have the summer off so no one has to see me... Instead I bought brand new scissors and cut my hair - nape length in the back and about an inch past chin length in the front. when i finished my chop I didnt feel that feeling of relief that I usually do - I cut my hair this length once a year
Instead I wanted to cry.
Yes, it is SO healthy and thick from all of my hard work. and it's actually really cute and sassy ... bUT i MISS my hair. I wish i woulda been patient and waited out this itch that i had. Now i have to start all over. My hair will be back to its length by Jan. And this time i will not give up. (Keep an eye out for my fotki. I'll update it in the winter.)
So the lesson here is DONT STRESS OUT. WAIT!! YOUR HAIR WILL GET BETTER. Take it from me... Now I'll just have to remember that next time...
PS There should be a 2 week waiting period before the BSS can sell a girl scissors!! UGH!

Thanks for sharing your story. I felt just like you did last week. I was about to do a BC cuz my hair wouldnt do right. Thankfully that feeling passed.
I like this! I'm actually scoping out a new pair right now. I can't wait to do my next trim.
