Okay, so I was updating my web page the other day and I realized that since August, I`ve had my hair cut four times and it`s the same length as it was in August. If I had just left it alone, it could be 3" longer! Now, granted, a lot of it needed to come off because last September I bleached (we`re talking platenum here...) my hair too death (well, it was streaching like bubble gum...)
So... Does anyone hav any good ideas abofor how I can keep myself from cutting my hair? I take relatively good care of it, for a college girl who has no time. I`ve tried taking pictures of it, and keep pictures of how long I want it.. but I just can`t keep from getting that feeling like I NEED to cute it. :-( Does anyone have something that they did that relly helped them?

Perseverance!
I`m like you...I always feel like I NEED a trim. I found, however, that when the day comes that I really feel I need a trim, I just wait it through. Within a couple of days that "bad hair spell" subsides and I`m able to go a little while longer. My stylist always tells me, "Your hair is not as bad as you think it is!"

I TOTALLY relate - I`ve been saying I`m growing my hair out for two years now. I keep "adjusting" first the bottom - then when that looks bad - the top - and before you know it it`s the same length as I started with.
I`ve had pretty good success resisting temptation by telling myself that I will not cut until it gets below a certain target by one inch then I can cut half inch.
Right now it`s at a length I hate hate hate - between chin and shoulders. I look better either really short or below shoulders - so believe me, I am struggling madly.
To make matter both better and worse, my Blvd. Hubby like my hair short as well as long, but agrees that the current length is the worst.
He`s been a good support though, reminding me how much I complain about it when it`s short and (for me) always doing the wrong thing.
`Scuse the length (no pun)...gabi

I used to always cut my hair too. Then get mad as it grew and cut it shorter. Not really short, some sort of bob style a little above my chin.
I`m growing out my Something About Mary cut now. I had my first trim in 2 months today. She took off 1/8 of an inch. I`m going back in 3 months for another little trim and to have my highlights redone. I find it helps to make an appointment well in advance, that way you kinda have to wait to go.
