Well since I've vowed never to go near a hairdresser again (there have been way too many overpriced bad haircuts in my life...I think it's a curly curse) and am growing my hair out again, I would like to know the various trimming methods you guys use. I have read about "Feyes method" on here and was wondering if there is a link to it somewhere. Also, with "search and destroy", can it be done with shorter hair (mine is shoulder length)? How would one go about finding the split ends? What exactly do they look like? I know these are probably pretty basic questions for you guys, but I'd appreciate your wisdom -------------

My link to Feye's was in my Mozilla, and for some reason I can't get Mozilla to even open anymore, so I'm sure someone else can post that link.... My hair was chin length about 2 years ago, and I did search and destroy even when it was short. I couldn't really reach the back, so I just did what I could until it grew longer. Most of my splits are in my top layer of hair, so I just sectioned off my hair to keep track of what I did and brought it over the top of my head to right in front of my eyes. If its too hard to see, may as well wait until its longer, rather than cutting too many. It shouldn't be very split at that length since its all relatively young hair. The most common splits look like hair that is split into 2 pieces at the end (like a Y), or hair that bends at a 90 degree angle at a white dot.

Thanks Susan, very helpful! I am not too worried about it at this stage as I'm wearing my hair up every day (out of mind out of sight), but it's worth knowing. How long is your hair now? (in 2 years) Thanks Anais! Got it! And that's a very good detailed instruction site. -------------

Its about 2 inches short of the very bottom of the bra strap (bsl)
now. If I hadn't cut it at all, it would be there and a little
beyond by now, but its still blunt cut straight across, and the ends
are healthy and not split, so I can be a little patient. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Oooooh Susan! I just checked out your site and I LOVE your hair. I will never in a million years have hair like yours (straight and behaving well!) but I do so admire it!! It looks so thick and shiny and soft. It's going to look awesome when it's loooooong too. And your colour is lovely! Sorry, hope that's not too gushy, but I'm turning green here -------------

Oh!  Thank you so much! I
never get any compliments on my hair in non-virtual life, so I'm
enjoying what you said immensely! 
I plan to put a new photo up soon, I see I haven't done it since
June. I've always admired wavy and curly hair too - I thought
exactly the same, that it can look so shiny and soft like yours!
Yours will be even more stunning long than it is already too!------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |
