getting ready for a good trim

Personally, I'd hesitate to go to a salon unless you feel you can trust them.  I hear too many horror stories about them.  No matter what condition your hair is in, they can find damge up the hair shaft and say that you have to whack off 6 inches to make it look healthy.  You might be better off just letting it grow until the Feyes method could work a little better for you.  Or, do you have a friend you can trust to trim it for you?  I know that with Jennifer's hair, we did cut a good 3 inches off last year, but we were very careful to make a neat cut so it wouldn't have to be trimmed again for quite some time.  Perhaps if you get an even trim you can then continue down the road to growth and not do another trim for a long time.

Where does 25" fall on you? Oftentimes, Feye's method is a little more difficult and/or variable before a person reaches elbow length.

This is a good question! I had intended not to visit a salon for quite some time and just do my own trims using Feyes method.

What looks wrong about your hair when you trim it? Is it uneven? Not blunt enough?
