This is a question I've been pondering lately. I have shoulder-length hair (a little past shoulder length), and it's been growing fairly nicely ever since I started stretching my relaxers, switched to a mild relaxer, and started taking multivitamin supplements along with biotin.
BUTTTTT (and a BIG but! lol) my hair at the ends is soooo thin and whispy! My weaker hair is at the ends, and it's even gotten to the point where I HATE to wear my hair down because my ends look so anorexic. :-/
I really don't want to get a hair cut or trim since I feel like I have worked so hard to get my hair to be past shoulder length, and my hair is finally starting to grow down my back. BUT, I know my hair would look SO much better and healthier if I just broke down and got a big trim. Not only that, but my hair is so much THICKER at the roots since I've been stretching and uisng a milder relaxer, while my older hair (my ends) looks so thin. :-*( My sister got her hair cut about a month ago, and her hair looks great! Her ends look healthy, and her hair seems to be growing (she doesn't know about LHCF though). I'm wondering if I should do the same thing when I get my next touch up.
What do you ladies think?? Should I wait until my hair is the length I want it and then cut it? OR, Should I just bite the bullet and get it cut? And if so...how can I prevent my ends from being damaged again? My ends are in such bad shape, that just doing a "dusting" wouldn't suffice in getting rid of damaged ends.
**How do you ladies do it?? How do you stretch your relaxers, wash your hair every week, and STILL keep healthy ends?? That's my biggest problem. I can't keep my ends healthy no matter how much provectiv healthy ends I put in my hair. I think maybe handling and combing my hair too often every week that I wash and condition my hair could be the culprit.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
