As you know, I don’t believe in trimming hair every 6 weeks or whatever the recommended advice is these days. Now I’m aware that relaxed hair due to possibly more breakage may have thinner ends may require more regular trims to keep looking good but if you are natural and follow a hhj, I don’t see the point.
Having said that, I have not done more than a light dusting of ends since I began my hair journey so the very ends of my hair were looking a bit thin and this was my first true trim. I tied my hair into a low ponytail and braided it down leaving about an inch and half unbraided. I then chopped off about an inch!
It hurt like crazy!! Not physically of course but just the idea of cutting my hair makes me break out in a cold sweat. It was about time though and my ends look a damn sight better for it! It does mean however that I’m starting with a handicap on length this year so I decided to give hair growth aids a real go this year. I have purchased FAST conditioner and I am waiting for my fast grow hair vitamins to arrive. Since I’ve had my lapband surgery I know that I won’t be getting enough vitamins from my diet so supplementation is a must anyway, I may as well include hair vitamins right?
Well here are the pictures from my trim:
Trimmed hair in sink, it makes me so sad to see it go 🙁
