Scalped! ...Back from Touch-up, Blunt but Depressed...

[Chevelure618]

Hi Ladies,

I just felt it had to be done. It had been about 4 months since my last trim of my see-thru and I was noticing too much breakage. He let me watch in the mirror as he trimmed the back. The long tail on the left which grows faster, the see-thru from right to left is gone, and he angled the front a little. I feel sad....ya know? Just let down. It reminds me of when I was trying and trying to get pregnant and then the pregnancy test is negative once again.

The good news:

1) Most, if not all of the bone-straight ends are gone. Especially in the front. When he angled it, it was gone. That is a great feeling. I can't wait to wash it to see its true self.

2) The ends are almost all blunt. When I pull on the ends in the back, I can feel the hair tugging at the top of my head.

3) He ran some normal strength Affirm through the underprocessed area on my front right (we normally use Mild, but Normal on this one spot), and combed it through the length of those underprocessed areas. Now that side that looked shorter because it was underprocessed, looks like the rest.

I'm waiting for my SO to come over so I can post a picture. It will look different from the Avatar...no V formation anymore.
I know my hair is growing, I just feel so let down. I wanted so much to do Sylver 2's method, but my ends just looked awful.

I wonder if I can ever do a "no trimming regimen" successfully.

I need a drink.

Double hugs to you!

You're already doing the best thing to do: Finding the silver lining. You even converted it into a numbered list!

The best thing about hair...is that it grows back. You know what to do, which is also another thing to add to your list.

Thought of having your ends trimmed with heated scissors? That's supposed to help with splits. Try a search (through the site or on google with +LHCF in your search terms).

You'll be back to where you were before you know it -but with blunt, healthy, even ends!

Agreed. You will feel so much better about your hair very soon. I would rather have the blunt cut than the see through ends.

Well your hair looks good in that avatar so I know the new hair is just as nice especially since everything is "fresh and new", but I know how you feel.

I know how you feel because this just happened to me, but some of what was cut was not see-thru. Your hair looks good in your Avatar so don't worry about it. Is your hair fine? My hair is fine and I'm starting to think that fine hair can't go for a really long time without a trim erplexed. Alot of people I see with fine hair that don't trim have see thru ends. Well, let me restate that before I get stoned......I don't think the ends of fine hair hold up as well as the ends of thicker hair. IMHO.

Double hugs to you!

....

Triple hugs! Your hair will grow back soon, longer and prettier.

Is that avatar your current length? It looks good. Just keep doing what you were doing and it'll grow back before you know it :hugs:

everything will be ok and i know how u feel and it can really hurt to do a cut. i went from sl to nl due to breakage twice. once august 2006 and once feb 2007. but the good thing was that it grew back and that made me happy but it still got on my last nerves u know. it will grow back in no time
