trims? Im up against a crunch. I can always do my hair, but I havent had a trim in 4 months!
TIA

I trim my own hair. I plait it, and trim the ends of the plaits off (usually 1-2", but if I were only dusting the ends, I'd take off 1/8" or so).

Im afraid to cut my own hair since its in layers....I dont want to look funky with my various rollersets.
Do you want to come by and cut it for me?

I'm just getting ready to go to Hair Cuttery this morning for a trim. I've never been there. I straightened my hair for the first time in 6 months with my maxiglide so all I want is a trim, no washing. I would be weary of some salons because the moment you step in there with all that newgrowth, they may try to convince you to get a perm. Stand your ground!

This is so funny. I am sitting in rollers right now waiting for it to dry so I can use my maxiglide and straighten it. I was planning to do exactly what you are going to do. At least there I can just get 1/8" cut and they wont try to sell me a perm.
Great minds think alike!!!

I also trim, dust and cut my own hair. I do it on dry hair.

Ditto to what Shellzfoshizzle said. DIY'er here.

I went to an aveda salon today called Salon Cielo for a trim. A nice Ethiopian lady did my hair. I showed her how much I wanted cut and we went back and forth a little bit, but she did liked I asked. When I told her I was transitioning, she said "Good for you." I thought that was nice for a change.

When I was transitioning, I used to wash, blow out and flat iron my hair straight and headed down the road to the Super Cuts for a $12 trim.
