Are they a good idea how exactly do you do them and how much do you take off Replies:

I'm a firm believer in trims, and the smaller the trim the more hair
you get to keep. I've done them a few times instead of big trims,
taking off 1/8 inch (3mm.), and found that even that tiny amount makes
a big difference in making the hair feel less tangly. I just hold
my hair up with my fingers in wide flat sections (keeping the ends how
they are when they hang straight, without moving the hair) and cut
across. Taking off so little isn't going to make your hair
crooked, or even hardly appear cut at all (but can give a slightly more
blunt appearance). ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

I rarely microtrim...mostly because I don't get time to myself. It really depends on how often you put your hair up, and how much wear and tear is put on the hair's ends. but a few microtrims, carefully spaced, will definitely prevent a bigger trim later on.

Hi Nastasska, I never microtrim so I can't help beyond agreeing with what Susan and AS have said. I'm going for terminal length, and I'm just about there, I think... ------------- |
