Good Luck Paper. If you are going to reach your shoulders you don't have far to go.

Thanks Bob for the advice. That makes sense about growing out layers. I was debating whether to keep cutting it until it gets one length, then let it grow. But, I have decided not to trim it until the back at least hits my shoulders. And, I do trust my hairstylist. She will support me and just snip off ends.

Actually, Paper, having the little layering at your ends will probably make your grow-out easier. Women who enjoy perfect neatness have difficulties when hair hits the shoulders, b/c hair ends curl every which way at this point. Layering the tips makes the ends look *intentionally* wild and playful. By shoulder blades, hair starts behaving much more compliantly.
As for trims, I'm a big believer in letting it go until it reaches a point where a slight cut will leave the wearer a satisfactory length. I've seen severe trims by unscrupulous stylists which leave women too discouraged to continue. Oft'times, the old short look soon returns, and the woman believes that she "just can't grow long hair". Good luck, Bob

There are no set rules. If you want it to grow, the best thing to do is not cut it unless it needs it, and make sure you calculate your growth so you don't cut off al the new growth. If your hair grows a half inch a month, getting 1/4 inch cut off every 3 months will help you keep it in good shape, and you only lose 1/2 months worth of growth (providing you don't use heat or chemicals - then you might need more off). Many people can go longer without a trim, if they take good careful care of their hair (I admit I'm not the most careful person).

I'm letting my hair grow, and I was wondering how often I should get a trim. I don't want to cut the new growth off, but I want my hair to look good too. The worst part, I'm growing out layers!
