Dave, do you ever clean up the ends or are the hair products and your maintenance program enough to keep the scissors a safe distance away?

If only we could get a few more ladies to subscribe to a no cutting attitude. Your ends look fairly wispy, but you can always trim them when you choose, whereas a bad haircut cannot be undone. I trimmed a ladt friend's hair that wasn't quite as long as yours acouple years ago. It seemed all of her "lady friends" were in a twit that it was time for her to get a "haircut". Most had "punishment" cuts that looked pathetic. I talked my friend out of trusting their so caled professional barber friend, but the result could have been so sad. Keep it long friends.

Hi Bill W,

By "clean up the ends," I assume you mean "trim?" No, I don't trim regularly. The last time I had the ends trimmed was about 4 years ago. I do "search & destroy" for split ends, every once in awhile.

Good for you for providing your friend another perspective than the one given her by her so-called friends. (IMO, they were either jealous... or brainwashed).

Susan, I definitely see a difference - it's almost to your waist now! yay! (

) It looks so healthy and shiny and pretty. I wish mine were as nice.

Okay, its got a new picture on it now (but it doesn't look that different!)

Thank you HFO! I didn't even know it grew until it was shown to me in pictures. When it tapers to nothing, far away from my head (such as mine does), additional growth is nearly impossible to otherwise detect.

Just click on Susan's link in her sig.

25 inches as at 1st Nov 06

Ha ha! Not at all!

I think your hair and mine are probably almost the same color, I thought my hair was brown because of the way it looks inside for the longest time - that's one reason photos are great, you never know all kinds of things till you see you from the back!

Just today I was doing s&d for splits, and the light in the bathroom made my hair appear reddish! Its color really does depend on the lighting. Hard to imagine I was a tow-head as a youngster.

Dave, are you going to leave your hair that long? Or let it grow?

I've been letting it grow without trimming the length for 4 years. I thought I was already at terminal; I was mistaken. Even though I want some thickness at the ends (and would have to go to knee-length for something remotely resembling thickness) I guess I'll let it continue to grow for awhile and see if my terminal length is any longer than this.
