Cut off straggly ends before install?

My hair is pretty long atm, about an inch below bra strap line without extensions but its in shyte condition (thanks to the bleaching and colouring). Because ive decided i want another 4 inches of length, do you think it would be best for me to sacrifice a couple of inches of the dry ends? i figure the extension hair would make up for the inches id be cutting off, but i am so loathe to trim my hair at all lol 2 inches always looks like more than 2 inches! i do want my hair to be in better condition though....

i think you'd do well to trim the dry frazzled ends, when my ends are fried if i dont trim them off they will end up breaking off anyway only to make more of a shyttey mess of the ends

Yes-- if you leave them all dried and split...the splitting will just continue up the hair shaft and make your hair much worse in the long run. Off with their heads!

She would just need to make sure the ends are NOT blunt cut. Have your stylist point cut the ends and add a few long layers. That is what I do in between installs, as I wear my hair very long and my OWN hair is past shoulders as well.

i always trim the ends it helps it to grow faster- point cut it wont show any lines.

i agree cut it. if you are getting extensions you wont miss it! and it will grow back healthy in no time!
