Trimmers Measure-In

[lapis_lazuli]

Another microtrim done. Even though it's only been two months since my last measure at 73", I somehow ended up at 74" after the trim, checked multiple times from different angles and my camera on the ground. I probably took off about 0.5" overall. Couldn't count the hairs at the end, as they were cut a few times in tiny increments

I'm trying to wait at least 6 months between trims now, but it's so hard now that I know how to trim my own hair. I just want the ends to be full but I also want long hair. It would be great if my hair grew faster as well but I just have a slower growth rate of 0.4 inches per month. Nonetheless, I'm very happy with my hairs appearance and condition. Happy growing everyone!

I find it VERY difficult to wait 6 months due to fine strands + damage, but tracking growth here helped me to see progress while trimming (I stopped logging recently). I also have a slow growth rate, sometimes undetectable or 1/8”. I consider a growth spurt 1/2”. I cut my own as well, and set myself to cut with the equinox & solstices to not over do it, and I measure before, during & after trims. In this wY, when attempting to maintain I actually gained a bit length. Good luck pushing trims to 6 months- I am attempting as well, but already looking forward to my 3 month Fall Equinox trim

Thanks for sharing your experience rosenester! It is frustrating dealing with slower growth rate. Maybe next year I will try more frequent trims but for now I'll try stretching them. My hair is also fine and damages easily.

I did a microtrim at the end of August, which left me with an end measurement of 75". So clearly I've not done a good job of "maintaining" since I started in February, as I've gained about 2" since then I need to start taking off more each time because it is starting to get too long (very easy to step on). But the fear of cutting crooked is real.
