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

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

Your mom should respect your hair choices at your age, I believe. I did with my daughters. This "split end" excuse is ridicu;ous. Sorry, Bob

Hi Hi:

You have very nice hair. I like the color. One thing you must never forget. Hair grows back. No matter how the cut or style turned out.

She is your mom. Be understanding.

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

Bummer, AI

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.

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?

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.
