not sure if it's that much longer... havn't had any trims. but I'll be getting one today when I get my hair done, I've decided on probably just getting a half inch off the front (I've got some wacky layers I don't like anymore there) and maybe just a 1/4" in the back, splits in the back are very minimul surprisingly! except I have noticed my hair seems thinner lately :( I'm not sure why... been losing a lot in the shower too. sucks, sometimes I feel my hair is super thin or always falling out and I just wanna cut it all off!!!! but then a month later it feels great and I'm so glad I didnt. does anyone else ever get hair-moodswings like that? anyways theres an update!

It could be lighter... I'm not sure if she's using the same formula at the salon, but last time I checked it was a 9N/40/hi-lift :) It gets way lighter in the summer... almost white.
anyways, I got another small trim... like half a centimeter, since then it feels like it's grown maybe an inch. I've got another concern about color tho, but I'll post it in the color threads :)
You've got great hair! You probably could achieve what you want although it might be best to avoid heatstyling(don't know if you heatstyle or not) to do it faster.

thanks for your compliments :) I only lighten at the roots so in reallity my hair at the bottom hasn't seen dye in a very long time... but I still do get splits, so I'll take your advice with the 1/4" if I see any. I also only dye the top/front area of my head, I let the back grow out naturally (dirty blonde) I'm thinking about getting my roots done maybe just a 9N from now on, I used to have that... I'm just afraid of getting a "stripe" at the roots... we'll see tho. thanks!
Your hair is lovely! I don't know if I'd make a "no trims" at all rule, you might be able to do it, but since you lighten it, you might not. You can certainly grow it to the length you want, you are almost there and it looks great. If you need a trim at all, base it on whether you have splits or not, because you don't want splits to climb your hair. Then if you do get them only trim off 1/4". That way you get to keep almost all of your growth.

hello everyone, so this is my first official post in the long hair support forums! Here is my challenge; I'm 20 years old, I used to have quite thick hair, and down to my lower back... one bad dye job later and 2 years later I feel like I'm still suffering from it, but things arn't so bad anymore. I've been keeping up with my trims (1" every 2 months) and I think I'm finally at the stage where I'm going to stop all trims, and see what kinda length I can pull in before summer (which would officially june) yesterday I just got my last trim, I got rid of about an inch all around. here's pics of how my hair was just before I trimmed it. it still pretty much looks the same, minus maybe half an inch or so in the back. my hair is naturally dirty blonde, and wavy (like in the pics) it grows quite fast. I have about just under an inch of growth every month, I get my roots done every month with a 9N highlift. I only EVER get my roots done since the accident. I really really want my hair to be at about the small point of my lower back, just above where my waist kinda shrinks in. I figure I'll need about 4-6" depending on what kind of splits I see when the trims stop. feb to june is 5 months... do you think I can do it? no trims for 5 months? or maybe one tiny trim if things start looking bad? I need all the help I can get! I'll keep you posted as much as I can with pics and such. thanks everyone!
