I sat down and made up a six months hair plan in light of London's post. The original plan was to put braids in my hair for about six months to a year to grow it out and then cut off about 3-4 inches, assuming I grow 6 inches by then. I am only a few inches from my goal now anyway. It wouldn't be as bad if I grow my hair passed my goal and chopped off 3-4 inches. I have tried to salvage my ends but I give up. There is no use. For the most part my ends are damaged and split. I haven't seen any accumulation since April or May.
However I have decided to cut off the thin ends BEFORE I get braids instead of after. I figured my hair will have grown so much that I probably wouldn't want to part with the length by then. It would better if I do it now. I think less hair (and tears) would be shed this way. Besides it will be an incentive to keep the braids in that long. My first goal is to simply keep the braids in for six months back to back. I know back to back braiding is bad but if I have to wait I might not be able to rebraid when I am supposed to. I might even get a touch up if I wait too long. Can't I give my hair a break after six months? At any rate, as much as I'd hate to lose length I will be glad to see this thin hair go. There is no point in having long hair if it is damaged and see thru.
F.Y.I. My goal of mid back length is actually only 22-23 inches. Twenty five inches is simply the longest I will let my hair grow, if it ever even gets that long.
