QuoteReplyTopic: When trims go wrong... Posted: February 21 2005 at 11:54am
Well, my mom decided to trim my hair. I asked her not to try to even out my layers just because they were so varying in length, but she didn't listen to that. My hair went from waist length to BSL.
My avatar has the length it was before, and now it's:
=( I lost about 5 months of hair growth, and my goal for getting hip length before next september went out the window. I'll be lucky to get my length back by August. My mom justified that she cut it all to make sure all of the split ends were removed, but looking through my hair, I still spot a few that needed to be snipped individually.
However, on the plus side, WOW, I didn't know my hair was so thick! Without all the layers, I can really tell how thick my hair is! I guess, to look on the plus side, this gives me another chance for healthy long hair.

Yeah, my daughter did the same thing to me a couple of summers ago. She took 5" off instead of the inch I requested. I was very annoyed, but at the time my hair was (and continued to be) in ratty condition, so in retrospect it didn't make much difference.
Now I only cut my own hair.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

May I ask how old you are? I wonder because you seem to be more than old enough to be making decisions about whether or not to trim, and if so, how much.
Your hair grows fast, though! 5 inches by August, that's almost 1 inch per month.
Next time you have your hair trimmed (if you don't do it yourself, as eKatherine does), be firm with the scissors-wielder, insist that they follow your wishes or else there will be no trimming of your hair.

I'm fourteen, and I'll be fifteen in a few more months.
Yes, I doubt there will be a trim anytime in the near future. I just got myself a new pair of sharp scissors with no gap in between the blades, and I'm going to do search and destroys until I get some more decent length back, and maybe then, I'll get another trim, but my mother shouldn't be holding her breath on that one. =P

That's too bad but it will grow back and it still looks long and nice. I have also seen someone on the board give a link with instructions to trim your own hair. I think I will try at the end of the year. I have heard too many stories of trims gone bad. I would not want all my lenghth to go it took time to grow.
Good luck It will be back soon don't worry be happy

I'm sorry the trim didn't work out.. but WOW your red color is simply GORGEOUS! Your hair is going to look terriffic at hip length. Next time, you can use Fia's self-trimming method http://members.fortunecity.com/feye/trim/
Hey, your hair looks nasty. Your hair is like cut all over the place. Sections of long and short. Also it looks dry.
Hey, that's a horrible thing to say!! The colour looks cool and when it grows back it will look great. AI - Why don't you go to a salon next time and have it trimmed exactly as YOU want it.
Man your mom is a bad trimmer. I bet she just cut here and there and "woot, im done". And no, the quality of your hair looks nasty. When it does grow back and if you don't do anything to your hair, it'll probably still look dry. The color looks messed up also. Very unsmooth color.

Please don't listen to this "Sumo" idiot, AI! Your hair looks VERY good, even now. He's probably baiting you to chop all your hair off, since it looks so "horrible". Don't listen to this haircut fetish nut, please! Bob
AI, I really like that color. I looooove red. I'm sorry the
trim didn't come out how you want, but your hair is still a good length
and sooo thick! I bet a lot of us have been in your
situation....often times people get scissor-happy. For about ten
years I was the only one allowed to get scissors near my hair. Now I'll
let someone else do it once or twice a year, and I know to tell them to
cut less than I actually want them to cut. I can take care of the
tiny trims in-between.
I don't know how anyone can look at one picture of some one's hair and instantly know what is wrong with it. Sumo, you must have some freakish talent or something.
When I look at the picture, I don't see anything wrong with it. I can see that you have lovely hair and that the picture might not be the best quality to really show it off to it's full potential.

I think that Sumo must just be one of those types who thinks it's clever and funny to insult people. IMO if you can't think of something nice or constructive to say, shut-up!
