Oh, thank you. =D I'm due for a half inch trim soon though. I've got more split ends than I can count, and they're so hard to find with my thick hair. But I'm still looking for a stylist I'm willing to trust not to cut off more than half an inch. >=(

asian invasion, your hair looks great!! mine was like that until i discovered flat irons. i could kill myself now. mine hair is maybe a couple inches longer than that, and it looks a little dry at the ends, but other than that holds a good shine. when i wet bun my hair, it doesn't look that good, how do you do it??
Uhm, I usually do 3 buns--one at my crown, one at the middle of my head, and the other one at the nape of my neck. And then when I take my buns out in the morning, I lightly run some oil over the top of my style to tame some of the frizz and add more shine. =) Hope that helps in any way.
And Strawberry Fine, that's a beautiful bun! I wish I could make my buns that well!

Hey Robert! The ends of your hair look very thick after your recent trim.
Strawberryfine, you have gorgeous hair. I am sure it will look even more beautiful, the longer it grows. I think you can get away with smaller trims, going forward. How long do you wish to grow it?
Why, thank you, Dave!
I want terminal length and I'm hoping that will be at least fingertip length. And more, I hope!
My grandmother kept hers at that length and it was beautiful, so I'm hoping I got some long hair genes from her. My hair looks like hers.
'bout that trim; it was supposed to be 1/8", not 1".
So I'll be S & D-ing and being mega careful how I handle my hair. Then I'm not trimming until it is long enough for me to pull the ends around and tip the ends myself!

12/25.5"/terminal length after reaching "small of my back length"

1. I wanted to even up my ends a bit because I was having trouble measuring.
2. I need to hold back before I start sitting on my hair and can't take care of it.
3. I'm coming off the first year in a while where my hair actually gained length. This is because for about a 2 year period my torturous methods of brushing and combing prevented it from growing longer. In other words I not only ripped through my hair with a vent brush but I did it when my hair was wet, not just damp. Therefore I have what I call "undesigned" layers.
So I just wanted to go back a bit and try to catch some of those up and not bite off more than I'm ready to chew.
I can tell that my hair did need at least a small trim. Maybe not 3 inches but it was due for some.
The main thing is I'm back on track again and I'm still 1.5 inches past my starting point of last March's trim. Actually my hair is now nice and thick at the 31" mark and last March I only had a few strands that reached there pre-trim.
Anyway, I'm happy. I even tried some more braiding this morning so it was worth it. :)
Hi Dave. My natural hair colour is dark auburn. It tends to look dark brown indoors but quite red in the sun. I had that colour all my life. I just dyed it for the first time 3 months ago. Going blonde was a major commitment, so I plan to stay with it for a while. I really wanted a new look but wasn't willing to cut my hair short. That's why I opted for a change in colour. I'm so glad I didn't cause any major damage to my hair in the process.
AsianInvasion, your hair looks spectacular with the bun curls -- so shiny! I agree with Dave; the green shirts look good. (Green is my favourite colour; I have lots of green shirts too.) :-)
My user name is WAY too long. Just call me Juliana. :-)
