Trimmin blues (but a pic!)

[Wishin4BSL]

I have the trimmin blues but I put up a picture. I'm disappointed because I didn't make any progress because I held on to those ends for so long. Sometimes I wonder if I can ever retain any length...oh well. My site is public.fotki.com/Syleste and the password in my profile. It's in the October folder.

The trim really made your hair look healthier, but i feel your pain. I'm dealing with the same thing, it seems like my hair will grow but no matter what my ends will suddenly go haywire and i'll have to just do a big trim. This is an ongoing cycle. I think I am going to start dusting, I've never given it a try but maybe it will help. What are you going to do to stop the cycle?

 

[Wishin4BSL]

Dusting actually sounds like a good idea. I think I'll try doing that. I'm also gonna go for a BIIIG challenge for me, which is a 4 month stretch. I'm going for it no matter what this time!

Hey!

We all feel you on the trim. Sometimes it is a hard pill to swallow. In the end you will feel better. Esp. when you know deep within that you were not happy. When I constantly keep looking at my ends, I just know they have to go. I simply cant enjoy my hair knowing that I personally feel I need a trim.

After the next relaxer you will be so pleased. Also, you will begin to enjoy the bluntness of your beautiful ends. I agree with HighlyFavored, the trim made you hair look much healthier.

Good Luck with your Journey - You will be at brastrap in no time -- and when you get there, you wont have to worry about an evening out trim cause you already took care of it!

Your hair looks great. Your ends are nice and thick now. I know it's hard getting a trim, trust me I know but like you I'd rather do it than not and really mess my hair up. Don't think of it as a set back then of it as a healthy pit stop on your way to BSL.

Cheer up! Your hair looks way healthier with the trim and it will take off growing for sure now I bet.
Your hair is very pretty....have you tried baggying your ends?

 

[MzOptimistic]

Aww...It's okay...you really didn't lose that much length...with your next relaxer..you'll get it right back..your ends are so even and thick..those 1 1/2 inches will be back at your next touchup...(((hugs)))

I know it was hard, but I think you did the right thing. Your ends look terrific.

 

[Wishin4BSL]

Thanks so much ladies. I love your support. I don't think I would be sticking close to healthy hair care and a good regimen without you all. Also, I put a ponytail pic up and it made me feel better about the length because it looks healthy. I think I will also go back to baggying at night.

Hey there,

In the words of a former US president, "I feel your pain". I hate it when my stylist tells me I need my ends trimmed, but I know it's for the best. It keeps my hair healthy and I notice my length increasing (again) very soon after the trim.

In fact, I had the trimming blues the day the above-shown picture was taken.

I think you did make some progress. Your sides look fuller and it may be the same length but now it's a healthy blunt cut instead of a V.

Your hair looks great!! Don't fret though...I want to cut about 3in. off myself, but don't want to lose that length. In the end, your hair came out looking much thicker and healthier. Simply beautiful!!! You're going to really appreciate it after ur next touch up.
