Okay, so the day before yesterday, I decided to trim off some of my nasty-looking ends. I put my hair in large twists and started cutting. I cut off what I thought was about 1/2 inch.
Well, to my surprise, when I went to see what length my hair was post-trim, it turned out to be the exact same length it was before the trim. Then, I thought about it, and my hair has always done that. No matter what I got trimmed, my hair always looks the same length.
And to be honest, it drives me crazy. My hair seems to be stuck at the same length no matter what. I could cut it all off, and in about a year's time (sometimes less), it will be back to this darn length. And, it seems like it just stops there. LOL.
I'm not complaining because I know I'm just starting a healthy hair regimen, and this could all change, but it really confuses me. I think I might have hair anorexia too.
Am I going crazy or does someone else go through this? Is it just my ends get so nasty they don't show my true length?
EDIT: To be clear, I'm just wondering about the trim part. How the heck does my hair look the same length before and after a trim (some parts actually looked longer)? Is there something about nasty ends that just make your hair look shorter?
