Is this bad...........

Welcome!

I would say you're SL...and if you chose to do a blunt cut you'd be between neck and shoulder.

It does look like you may have had some breakage somewhere in there and that's why you're ends look "thin". But, I'm sure that as you steadily continue to take care of your hair it will improve.

Please do not let people convince you to trim your ends if they are healthy and you don't want a blunt cut. If they are breaking due to over processing, then trim. If they are split, then trim. If you want a blunt look or a new hair cut, then trim. But if there's nothing wrong with them other than they are not all even with one another, IMO that's not a good reason to trim, especially if you're trying to retain length.

Anyway, good luck and happy hair growing!

Welcome! If this is your starting pic I think it looks good. You are starting WITH hair on your head. A couple of tips you might want to adopt.
1. Don't wear it down too often. Protect and baby those ends
2. Do a 3 month mini trim (every 3 months trim 1/8 of an inch or more if you like)
3. Don't stress over the ends. I need to do a major trim too but have opted to wait until
Jan. My ends are moisturized, sealed, and protected so I am not worried.
4. Enjoy the hair board- soooo much fun and a wealth of information.

If you don't want to trim, try wearing your hair in a curlier style (rollerset on smaller rollers). This will also have the added advantage of being a protective style because it will get your ends off your shoulders so they can stop rubbing on your clothing.

I have always had thin hair too. I can't stress enough what stretching your relaxers will do for your hair. I just finished an 11 week stretch and my hair is noticeably thicker. I am going for a 13-15 week stretch this time.

Also, hunt down the mega tek threads. Mega tek will help to fill-in the thinning parts of your crown area.

Your hair does not look bad to me at all. Probably because I think I have found my long lost hair twin, lol. My hair does that same weird thing in the back too, and it's not because of breakage it's because my hair grows the slowest right in the center nape area, and the sides gow faster. Welcome to the boards! I would only be concerned with trimming if the ends were damaged or if you were your hair down. If you are protective styling- just keep it moving. Best of luck with your hair journey.

I wash once a week with keracare hyrdrating detangling shampoo.
I Cw as needed
I deep condition every wash and cw with either nexxus humecstress or Aphogee 2 min
The only styles I'm doing are perms rods,ponies, and mini buns lol

I'm not sure if your saying you use Aphogee 2min every week or possibly every other week , either way I think that might be too often, I heard that it should be used every 6 weeks or so , but not before that
