Yes...you read it right, I actually got a really big hair cut a few weeks ago for my 9 week relaxer touch up.
I just told my stylist that I wanted a change. A few weeks ago I was ready to make a change from a mild relaxer back to a regular strength relaxer. I think that over time (2 years with the mild), the mild relaxer seemed to do more harm than good.
So, that day I got a touch up, I also told my stylist to give me a MUCH needed hair cut.
To my surprise, the hair cut turned out great!!! My hair is too my neck now. I'm loving the shorter, summer do.
This is the shortest I've ever cut my hair, and although I was really hesitant at first, I think I made the best decision for right now.
My regular strength relaxer treatment went very nicely (and she didn't relax to the ends/ or do a "corrective"), and she only relaxed my new growth.
My hair is so BOUNCY, thick, and full of life now!! 
I love it! When my hair was longer, it would sometimes look very thin and lifeless at the ends. My hair is fine to begin with, so I didn't need my hair to look even THINNER.
So, I guess I say all of this to say: Ladies...don't be afraid of a little trim (or even a hair cut) here and there. I think it has actually done some wonders for my hair so far, and I'm liking the fact that I can start over brand new.
Sure...it's going to take a LONG time for my hair to get back to shoulder blade length again, but hey...at least I think I've learned from my mistakes, and now know what works (and doesn't work!) for my hair.
