Went backwards on hair growth

Well I kind of went backwards with my hair growth.  I went and had it cut again.  She is a good friend of mine though and she only cut off 3/4 of an inch. My hair is at 22 1/2 inches after she cut it.  I still had a lot of splits so today I did an SD on my hair.  I just need to stay away from scissors I am not going to get anywhere if I don't stop obsessing about these splits.  I am glad to say that they are mostly gone now.  Also I realized that I really don't have that many cause I seperated all the hair out that did not have splits and it was only a layer at the very bottom.  Since when I pick my hair up and look at it thats mostly what I see so I thought my hair was full of splits.  So now I just need to ignore my hair for awhile.  I think hair grows faster when you are pregnant and I am pregnant so I am really looking foward to that.  Unfortunatly when your through being pregnant you lose a lot of hair but its only suppose to be what you did not lose while you were pregnant.  Last time it seemed like a lot of hair but it didn't seem to affect it that much.  While I was doing the SD I had more broken hairs instead of split ends.  You know where it is broken and you see that little white dot.  I hate those because you can't just snip the tip you have to cut it above the white dot.  A lot of the times I have to cut it a half inch or more to get above the white dot.  I was curious what causes the hair to break like that? I guess probably the same thing as what causes the splits right?  I guess I must brush to hard I need to get one of those wooden combs or something.  Well I hate to keep posting about the same thing, I will stop now.

I need to do a S&D.  I was picking at my hair while passing the time in Logic class the other day and found a spilt end with eight spilts on it!  I was so beyond fasinated by it the lighting in my classroom is really good for looking for split ends, unfortunately I can't really bust out a pair of scissors and do a S&D on my hair
