If you want it to terminal length then just don't cut it then. .

Looks like I'm due for a big trim, then.  Probably 12-15 inches would do.  (Of course, there is so little hair there... even after such a trim, the thickness would be only about the width of a pencil).  I have been thinking about doing this for years, but for now I'm on a quest for terminal length.

I think that each look good with different styles. Natural is well, natural and I like something about that freshly trimmed look as well. I think long haired men would look better with natural and I think both look fine on women.
Hair is BSL+ as of 9/15/05

I prefer natural looking ends to a point. My favorite "look" for long hair ends occurs from about four to twelve months *after* a trim.  Bob

Stright across is usually my favorite style, all one length and blunt.

Blunt is like when it's cut, not allowed to keep on wisping and getting all straggly at the ends.

I think wavies and curlies look better with V or natural ends. Straight IMHO looks better with a blunt or a U.

That's my take.

natural, as long as it looks healthy.  i have cut ends right now (U-shaped) but i've decided to "search & destroy" my own splits from now on, so hopefully they'll go natural after awhile.

forgive me for being duhhh about this, but is blunt like, straight across? horizontal cut? if so, yeah, i like my hair to be blunt. and i cannot stand to see split ends at the end of my mane so i do trim it regulary, but only a few cm's to get rid of the split.

i also love seeing long hair with the v shape...viktoria hit the nail on the head when she described it as native american. very pocohontas indeedy! i like it so much that im considering on getting in cut like that.

i just need to learn how to do it. or find a salon that will take instructions not to cut no more than 2 inches off to create that look!

 

and im not going off the topic here...but

I personally like a blunt trimmed look. My hair would be alot longer if I didn't;) I trim every four months between 1/2 to an inch, I like my ends to be as thick on the bottom as toward the top. I also like the same blunt look on other LH women and men.

Actually, I cut it off myself, I had remnants of bangs that irritated me, so I went the radical way. It´s better looking than before, I guess I´ve just gotten used to the way that longer hair behaved... And it does grow pretty fast. I am happy and re-growing!

Hi Gollan... interesting question.

On women I prefer blunt ends (straight across for longer than hip-length, and U-shape for hip-length or shorter).

On other men, I don't care. For myself I would prefer to have blunt, but presently it is a "natural" taper to nothing. Yes, I occasionally trim split ends, but since the ends are so old, there is some oxidation damage. So I try to keep it from looking like it has "gone to seed," but I'm not sure that I've been entirely successful.

From an aesthetic point of view, I don't have a real preference. Untrimmed, u-shaped and cut straight can all look nice, each in its own way.

My favorite look is hair that hasn't been trimmed for 3-18 months. After a year and a half, I think most hair needs an inch or two trimmed. (I hope your hair grows fast, Victoria. Did you have a "stylist" who took "liberties" with your locks last time? Happy re-growing.) Bob
