I promised that I would post comparison of pre- and post-trim photographs. Here they are:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c79/spidermom/pretrim1.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c79/spidermom/straight1.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c79/spidermom/posttrim1.jpg
Pre-Trim, natural, lots of splits .... Post-trim, straightened ... Post-trim, natural
Wow! I gave up a lot of length. I didn't realize how much until now. But you know what? I don't mind. The silky feel of my ends is worth it. Those split, dry ends were driving me crazy! Please remember that I lopped them off myself. No scissor-crazy stylist took advantage of me (although a stylist did even up my crazy whack-job).

It looks great SM! Your hair really shrinks up when it dried naturally.
I love how healthy the ends look. Thanks for sharing.
I think I'll have to do a major trim soon.
This chemo is killing my hair!

I think all three photos look fantastic. You have beautiful hair, spidermom. Glad you're enjoying your new length. :)

But if the rest of you stays alive, it will all be worth it. Best wishes for full recovery. And thank you for the compliment.

You are just like me. =) I cut mine last week about 3-4 inches of dead, dry, spit horrible velcro ends off. I feel terrible about losing the lenght but dang the smooth soft hair is nice isn't it? Your ends look so LOVELY now!

It looks great Spidermom. I would do almost anything for that thickness you have. Drool.

Beautiful hair, as expected, and the color is just lovely, too. Are the two natural pictures after fingercombing, or does your hair look that great even after a regular comb?

Spidermom, I definitely like your hair better dried naturally (I love the natural curl) and I think the cut was a good call, your hair really looks thick and lovely.

Regular combing. But I forgot! I put in a top ponytail and sponge rollered the ends/length the night before the meet. Some curls "took", some didn't, so I bunned it, then combed it out just before pictures. Notice all that frizz floating around? Jeesh! The rollers were supposed to give me smoothness.

It looks great and much thicker too (not that it wasn't thick before) I do like it wavy though

Very pretty! The important thing to remember is that you are happy with your hair and that it is healthy, the length will always come back in time.

WOW! You have gorgeous hair!!!
I agree - I like it wavy, too, but I also like the way you can see how even and healthy the ends are in the photo when it was straight. :)

I know it always hurts a little (sometimes a lot) to loose length, but you have really gained a beautiful hemline now. So full and healthy looking, it looks a really good cut. Congratulations!

Spidermom, your hair looks beautiful in that pic. And I prefer it wavy - it has so much more life than straightened. ;)
Your ends really look thick and healthy after the trim - your hair is how I hope mine looks some day when it thickens out and grows longer. I'll keep telling you until you internalize it - you have my dream hair!
peace

Just beautiful, Spidermom! I really hear you about not minding losing a bit of length to feel those thick, healthy ends. To us, your hair looked perfect, but I know how different it is to see and feel your hair up close.
It's a lovely cut and you'll have your length back before you know it, healthier and stronger than ever. Good decision!

Your hair is so beautiful. I think it looks great in all the pictures but I can see what a little trim can do.

Your hair looks great! It's so healthy, thick and the ends strong and even.
What's most important is that YOU are happy with the decision and you'll enjoy all the work and effort you've been putting into growing your gorgeous locks so much more.
Thanks for the progression pictures!

Looks great! You've reminded me that I should probably have a little trim myself.

Wow, your hair is so pretty! Those are like the best pictures I've ever seen from your hair!
I think the trim looks great! I have to prepare myself for one too... If only waist lenght would come faster so I could trim... Anyways =P
Lovely hair Spidermom!:D

How did I miss this last night??? :confused:
Anyway, thanks SO much for posting an after-trim pic! I definitely like your natural waves better than the straightened but it looked beautiful as well!
Beautiful before, beautiful after!!!!
