I know the right thing to do with my hair is to chop it all off. But I'm too stubborn. "Just a trim"

I can never do the 'chop it off' thing either. A couple of times I have gone from waist to shoulder length and have hated my hair for at least a year. It goes so wide when it is shorter. Like Crystal Tipps lol.

My roots have grown out enough that they look intentional. Good thing, too, because they're not getting done for at least a couple of weeks yet.

@swilks I hate having to cut my hair when I don't want to and my hair is already short! I feel for you.
And intemp, I really like roots with red hair. I think the colour has loads more depth with roots sometimes.

I keep going in the pool after long bike rides in the heat, even though I know I shouldn't get my hair wet  *say* .. Safe to say my color is now a funky fade

Great thread idea, Marthakins! :-*

I'm also in the "micro-trim only" phase, and I always think I should trim off more than a few millimetres at a time, but I don't.  However, I "test" the ends of my hair by pinching a small bit that looks straggly between my forefinger and my thumbnail and gently tugging.  If it doesn't break off or threaten to break, then it makes me think... it's fine!

i've been driving my husband crazy with all my hair-toy talk lately.  and honestly, i am pretty annoyed at myself for how obsessed i've become.  sad to say, i've ordered a bunch of things (some sticks, a pair of forks, and a crescent), and i've spent way more than i'd like to admit.  but nothing is **here** yet, so my urge to buy has not subsided!

The sun is BAD for my hair... Major breakage here :/

I'm with you girls on the hair cutting! I always use to get so upset when I'd ask for a "trim" at the hairdressers & they'd end up cutting off a huge chunk, I now cut my own hair every 6 weeks & have manged to cut a lot of the badly damaged hair out & add layers without interfering with my length too much 😀

Another one not wanting to cut over here!  But it has gotten bad, and I've booked an appointment to have it done in 3 weeks :/  Every time I brush my hair I have a lap full of broken pieces of hair.

same here, my problem is more about the shape of my hair though! 🙁 i want the ends in a nice U shape but that requires me to either trim & mantain the same length for 6 months to let my shorter layers catch up or have 4 inches chopped off to even it all out. im trying to grow my hair on top of that too so at the moment im just leaving it uneven till its the length i want then trimming to let the layers catch up lol (ramble ramble)

I don't know whether to keep my hair short or grow it out into a bob.

You could start letting it grow and see how it goes, if it starts to drive you mad you could always cut it again. I thought you normally preferred long hair? I think both really suit you so I guess it depends on whether you can be bothered with the awkward growing out phases.

I do prefer longer hair n myself, but so many people have said how much I suit this that I can't make my mind up!

It definitely needs a trim now, but my blessed hairdresser went on his hols (how dare he) and doesn't get back until Friday - which is the day I go on mine!
