Okay, so I'm growing my hair out like many of you. Right? Every 8 to 10 weeks, I submit to a trim to take off any split ends and maintain the shape of my hair, which is lightly layered around my face. I have a round face.

The stylists are very good about observing my request of "no more than half an inch." Still, after it's done, I inevitably get depressed. I see those snips of hair scattered on the floor, and I can't help but think there's a month of growth down the drain. This depression follows me for several days sometimes.

Does anyone else experience this? I /know/ it's irrational and that these trims are absolutely necessary, especially until I get rid of all old coloring jobs. But I want /long/ hair so desperately. (Right now I'm on the cusp of "long," what some people would consider "medium.")

Another question: Does layering around the face make hair look shorter somehow? Mine seems to be taking forever....
