And I did not buy a one way ticket on the fail boat! See, my hair is severely layered, but I've been very resistant to cutting at all. My plan was to wait until I'd reached my goal length or at least come close (waist) and then start trimming to even up the layers. Well, for some reason my bottom layer became significantly longer than the top ones, so as a result, I had some serious taper and thin-looking ends. It was driving me nuts, and the bottom layer was tangling much more easily. Up until recently I didn't have to worry much about damage, but the longer I let it go, the more concerned I became that the thinness of the ends would contribute to damage, which would screw up all my progress.
Well, today I used Feye's Hairtrimming Method for the blunt hemline to trim a bit over an inch off my bottom layer. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I'm a wurly, so I didn't worry as much about unevenness, and the ends are so thin anyway I doubted it would show much. It looks and feels so much better already. I'm almost tempted to trim a bit more, but have decided to hold off--I don't want to get scissor happy and then trim off more than I'm comfortable with. For now I think I'll do this once a month (probably cutting off less than an inch) until I've gained some more thickness at the hemline.
Wow, who knew cutting your own hair could feel so liberating! It cost me nothing, and I'm much happier with the state of my layers. I'd post pics, but I doubt you'd be able to see much difference at this point--I know I can't.
