Thin and wispy ends

The hair an inch or two above my shoulders is fairly thick.  However, the six inches or so below that point is thin and wispy and doesn't look so good.  I know this is a long hair support forum, but just to let you know, I'm trying to decide whether or not I need to cut my hair (not ultra short at all, but just several inches).  Besides cutting, what can I do about the thinner-looking part of my hair?  I think if it looked thicker, I might not have so much pressure to cut my hair.

Mine was wispy on the ends, and I kind of liked the way it looked because the ends started to form ringlets on humid days.  But these ends had a lot splits, and the rate of splitting did not slow down with good care (I used to not be very nice to my hair).  Anyway, I thought it was thin for 2-4 inches and that much would need to come off to thicken up the ends, but then I trimmed one inch and it made a huge difference!  More of a difference visually than I would have expected.  So, I am with Anais Satin -- if you can't live with the ends just trim a little at a time.

Hi Dave, you are not going to believe me when I tell you this.  I just returned from the salon (obviously the only one open on a Sunday, Great Clips), and I am very pleased!  I told them and really stressed that I wanted two inches taken off.  I thought that would be a good amount, because it wouldn't be major, yet it would be more than a minor trim.  They did exactly what I wanted, and the ends aren't quite as thick as I hoped, but they're a lot better!  I'll just wait awhile now and maybe in a month or six weeks will go just two more inches, or maybe not!  But, I feel good about what I did.  It wasn't drastic, but it did make a difference.  Thanks for all your support!

Thank you Dave!  I'm glad to be here!
