I'd probably just leave it. Unless you have a huge breakage/tangling problem, there really isn't a reason to trim.

You may need moisture or protein. That may help hold off on trims. Putting it up will help too.

I've reached my goal, so I'm leaving now for the microtrimming thread.

I've trimmed my hair twice in about three years, and plan to go from now without trimming at all. I gave it a little blunter cut, but now I quite miss the fairytale ends – though I think they look better on longer hair rather than APL. Either way! No trimming for as long as I can stand it!

Anyone itching to trim?

I was this month, but then I hennaed (roots + gloss) and it feels brand new and silky after slathering it with conditioner to rinse

I will probably last til this summer, and I'll also probably maintain at waist for a bit after that. I don't even remember the last time I trimmed.

The number 1 oil I like to use to keep tangling at bay is argan oil. Gotta love it.

I just got a bottle of this, but have yet to try it. Might try it out today.

Yes and no. Yes because I like my hair to be even and it's not

No because I really want to gain length and, since re-introducting cones, my ends feels really good.

When my hair was at it's longest, I was 15 or 16 years old and I never trimmed it, not even S&D. I washed it every damn day with whatever I could find and kept it on a low ponytail or down all the time, and since I did horseback riding every day I wore a helmet on top for hours and hours getting my long hair stuck in it's straps and such. And I still had beautiful, long hair! So now that I'm growing my hair back to how it used to be when I was younger, I try to do mostly the same thing - but not to wash every day and not use a shampoo that causes tangling.

I had a hair cut yesterday with the idea of thinning out and trimming up the top of an undercut. I'm terrible at explaining what I want to a hairstylist (and have anxiety problems). The cut ended up with her blending my (much shortened) top to the 1/2 inch buzzed section in the back. It doesn't look terrible, but it's the shortest my hair has been since I buzzed it all off back in college. I'm dedicating myself to no haircuts for the rest of the year. I might cave if the mullet portion gets annoying, but I much prefer giving myself layers at home with a pair of shears every four to six months than shelling out $55 for a nice cut every 4-5 weeks or spending $25 on a mediocre cut every 4-5 weeks.

I hope that once I'm a little bit past shoulder,I'll be somewhat less obsessed with hair and realise that it is possible for me to have long hair again.It seems like such a huge challenge

Yes, it is a hard challenge but you can do it. I only trim my hair once a year, and that's because I really take good care of it throughout the year with keeping it moisturized and using protein treatments. When I first joined LHC I used to be scissor happy too but I have cut wayyyyyyy back on the cutting so that I can grow long hair again.
