    does anyone with hip length or further still trim their hair? if so, how much and how often?

    or actually, does ANYONE out there with long hair trim their hair?

    I love trimming my hair. I trim about half an inch every 2-3 months when I'm growing it, and half an inch every month when I'm maintaining my length.

    Yes of course I trim my hair (currently tailbone length, I cut back from classic) - if I didn't, how should I ever manage to thicken up my ends? I try to trim every month, but sometimes I forget it so there's 2 months in between trims. I usually do not cut more than an inch, except if my hair is especially tangly, thinning or damaged.

    I usually trim about 1-2 cm (~ 0.5'' - 1'') once a year, unless I try to thicken up the ends, then I trim the same ammount but every 3-4 months instead of once a year...

    Default Re: trimming

    My hair is between waist and hip length and I want to maintain it this length. I get my nephew to trim it every 2/3 months or whenever it looks scraggy.

    I'm inbetween tailbone and classic right now and keeping on with my goal of..knee xD. I usually would go to the great clips I think it was...Their was this 1 woman who gives good cuts. I haven't been in a long time and the last woman was a new one i didn't quite like. I would love to learn how to trim my own hair but my hands are kind of shaky so I'm not sure. Plus I'm not sure how you would reach past a certain point? I'll be keeping an eye on this thread though I'm interested in hearing how others do it ^-^
    Wish DBF would learn how to..>.> Might have to ask him to try sometime. His G-pa was a stylist i believe and maybe he could teach him

    I've trimmed my hair myself, every length between APL+ to fingertip.

    Trimming gets rid of any splits you might accumulate, and maintains a thicker hemline. A lot of people want split free, thick ends s most people here trim.

    I am lucky to be able to keep damage to a minimum and my hair grows evenly so at moment I am only trimming a centimetre here and there every few months to give my hem a shallower u shape. When I'm maintaining I would trim off an inch every two months, which is equivalent to all my growth in that time.

    Even at fingertip length I was able to successfully use Feye's self trimming method; I would pull the band down as far as I could and them just pick up the ends and finish the trim. I wouldn't try to cut accurately with my arms at full extension!
    Finally at knee, with a new quest for thick ends!

    I am almost at hip, and I usually trim to get rid of old damage, but right now I'm doing the No Trims in 2011 challenge so I won't trim till next January
    I hope my hair grows to tailbone this year

    I haven't had my hair trimmed for 14 months now because I wanted to have personal experience with both trimming and not trimming. I'm terrible at trimming it myself - one side always ends up longer than the other - but my stylist is awesome. I'm going in for a trim soon. I like getting trims about every 3-4 months.

    My hair was about 43 inches and I trimmed back to 40.

    I trim about every 4 months, using Feye's self trim method.
