I don't know why, but folks lamenting about the struggles of combing through an inch or two of new growth gives me the giggles.

I love wearing curls because I don't have to comb my hair for seven days, but when I had to remove shedded hair and comb and pre poo before washing it seem like it took forever. You really have to love you hair to have that much patience. Here I am trying to grow it to waist length lol

I wish I had thought of that this morning, 'cause my hair's looking some kind of way now
. Also either my hair isn't photogenic or I suck a taking selfies, because my hair is way bigger in person than in pics

Yeah, I remember one time I was going off how my hair was looking a mess for whatever reason I forgot and someone told me to post a pic and. Took like 5 pics and my hair was looking good in those pics, but in the mirror no:no

After reading the high porosity spin off thread I just realized that the wack patch in the front of my hair is high porosity, not low porosity. It only took me four years to realize it, LOL.

I still don't know my hair's porosity and I've been natural since 07 (on this hair journey since at LEAST 09)

I'm getting cold feet about cutting the remaining of my relaxed hair off. Most of my hair is 3C but my crown/back is 4A/B and I'm afraid my hair is just going to be super uneven. Long on the sides,...

I just love the fact that you feel the need to tell me I need to do something with my ponytail because its not smooth and sleek.

I had a chick compliment my hair, and ask me what I used, only to say that I should do twistouts and use something else!!! 1) My hair looked good enough for you to go out if your way to say that you loved it 2) your relaxed hair is shorter than my hair shrunken 3) I didn't ask you for hair advice (I have no reason to). Like wth.

My hair is similar, mostly in the 3s but in the front it is 4a/4b. Shrinkage is dramatically different and wash and go's were difficult in the beginning. I have to use heavy product to make sure that my hair looks uniform. No curl creams or mousse for me! lol Only gel :3

Take that flannel off your pillow cases STAT! Try and find a satin or silk pillow case, cotton cases suck out moisture.

No stylist is going to strain and peer and crouch while the salon is packed with waiting customers in order to cut 0.25 of an inch to 1 inch of hair off. #Nothappening
When you think about how small an inch is...it is really up to you whether you want a 'trim' from a stylist - you are more than likely going to get a cut.

Who goes to the salon to get a quarter of an inch cut though?

I have seen many people get trims and the stylist goes around 2 and 3 times . I don't know why people assume they are jealous but it's like they don't get it the first time and they go around again and again. It's like most can't give blunt cuts

And this is why you get cuts in the long term and not trims or a dust. And I have seen this happen for some ladies, but it's usually the loud ones.
I just feel as if you're going to the salon requesting a half of a millimeter trim you need to invest in some shears and a magnifying glass.

I just feel as if you're going to the salon requesting a half of a millimeter trim you need to invest in some shears and a magnifying glass.
However, most stylists suggest you come in for a trim every three months- and since they don't cut off less than two inches there goes your growth even if you grow eight inches a year.
Seeing a stylist to me is a maintenance step. Once you have done the heavy lifting of growing out healthy hair, you can maintain your length and thicken up your hemline by seeing a stylist. If you choose that, by then you have probably already learned how to trim/cut your own hair.
Shredded ends mean there is something going wrong in your regimen/daily maintenance. A haircut doesn't fix that it just makes it look a little less bad for the time being.
ETA: You are right in that assuming its jealousy is often laughable. The truth is the reason many stylists cut too much is a little less interesting. Simply put, the stylist is being seen too often and the stylist is used to/trained to/has muscle memory that results in them cutting rather than trimming the hair regardless of how the ends actually look and whether or not the client just saw them last week.

I dont always think its jealousy, though women love to believe someone is jealous of them lol. Stylists just love some thick, blunt ends. They find the shortest piece you got and use that as their guideline so can look as thick as possible (Im exaggerating a little..). You want a V or "natural" shape? Better learn to do it yourself.
