I was with a couple of friends this morning and I was talking to B about hair because I'd given her some of my rinse and was asking how she liked it. I mentioned I only leave it in because my hair's so tangly, and related to the group how I'd slept with it down recently and the next day had to spend 20 minutes detangling. B asked if I'd ever think of cutting it, which was a fair question and didn't annoy me. What annoyed me was that M asked a question and I answered, and she kept going on with her advice anyway.
Me: *telling the detangling story*
M: Have you tried trimming?
Me: I just did. I took off 1/4 inch.
M: I know when my kids's hair tangles it's because the ends need a trim....
Me: I do. I trim off my splits every other week and do small trims.
It ended there because someone asked her something. Urgh. I love my friends, but this one doesn't get it. She and her daughters all have 1a/b shoulder-length or shorter. I have waist curly. It's going to tangle, especially if I sleep with it loose. Trimming is not bad, but the culprit was my tossing and turning in my sleep. I should just shut up about my hair. No one, apparently, wants to hear it.
