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.
Take care,
Julia

For just a minute, when I read this title, I thought someone else did the same thing as me--I recently bought a new tape measure, because the one I had was really old. Apparently, the old cloth one had shrunk a little at some point, just enough that when I measured with the new one, my hair came up half an inch shorter! Even though I knew it wasn't any shorter, I wanted to cry... -------------

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 ------------- I am at 32" ~goal length 36" |

Yeah, I've found hairs that look like a broom at the end. It's crazy to think something that little could split that many times.
Julia, I'm glad you only got a little trim. Your hair is very pretty and I can't wait to see more length. Ignoring it for a while is a good thing. Don't obsess.  ------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space
