Okay, maybe trimming my hair in the midst of a migraine wasn't the best of ideas.

However, the end result came out well - I cut about an inch more than I'd planned on, but where the scissors landed was the line between 'soft, smooth happy hair' and 'uncombable, matted ball of straw' so I think I made the right choice. In addition, I think I've only got one small trim left before I'm completely natural-haired. Maybe I'll leave that one to a professional that I trust, haha.

So, here are the promised pics. Before:

[Rennire]

You did a great job, it looks great! Congrats!

[Bethie]

Your hair looks lovely. Very nice job!

[cmnt831]

Very nice! You did hit the perfect place to trim. :)

[sophistiCat *]

It looks great! All of your hair looks healthy now you've trimmed the bit off the hem, it's lovely :)

[LunarAurora]

Your hair look better now, and when it will grow it will be wonderful!

[Kiraela]

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it looks okay - honestly, right now i'm not the best of judges, haha. (and yes, I'm dedicated enough that I LHC with a migraine - the screen brightness is way down, and all the other lights are off. Good thing I touch type instinctively, eh?)

[Cailie]

beautiful work ! and amazing hair !!

[redwoman]

Very nice. Wish I had the courage to do that.

[restourceful]

Well Done! :applause

I can hardly wait for my hair to be your length. And yours is so thick and shiny! Just beautiful!:D

[xoxophelia]

Stunning! I can't wait until my dye damage grows out as well. But that is like me starting a marathon you have nearly completed :D

[Peter]

It looks amazing. :D

[Kiraela]

Redwoman: I've been working up to doing this trim for... well, a few years, haha, but in actuality, I've been 'meaning to get around to' trimming for two months now. I was planning on doing every three months, starting oct. 30 - Yeah. That didn't work.

Restourceful: Thank you! I can't wait until mine is your color, or as near as I can get.

Thanks to everyone for the sweet comments and reassurances that it looks okay. Hopefully, once it dries from the conditioning I just did, the hemline will still be okay, and not wonky.

[Shicurls]

Your hair is beautiful and shiny! Way to go!

[Dars]

It looks very well done, good work! :) Ah hair envy...

[melusine]

ohh, wow, you have truly beautiful hair, so shiny and thick :) I think the new cut looks lovely :heart:

[Kristin]

Looks great! Wish I were that good at trimming my own hair! congrats on being *almost* dye-free!

[missmandy]

It looks so great!!! So healthy!!!

[GrowAlready]

Oh it is so pretty. I would say you did a great job cutting your own... I could not have done that. It looks very healthy!

[NiAosSi]

It looks softer and fluffier. :cloud9:

[Yozhik]

What a great cutting job! It looks wonderful :)

I'm hoping to do a self-trim in a little bit, so your successful trim-in-the-midst of a migraine is heartening!

[Arctic_Mama]

It looks great - did you use Feye's self-trim method on yourself?

[vindo]

It looks great! I can't wait for my dye to be gone..I'm 60% chem. dye free.

[girloctopus]

Yay for you! You're so close to that goal of all natural hair :D

I've learned the hard way not to trim hair in the midst of a migraine. Or to trim my bangs at 4 am. So be proud that you were so talented! :p

[Gumball]

Wonderful job, Kiraela! I think it turned out great because your hair is just gorgeous!

[GoddesJourney]

Wow! You did that with a migraine? It looks great. Congratulations. Next stop, all natural hair... and might I add that you have a lovely color and thickness.

[Rhiannon7]

Beautiful hair! great cut and sending hugs for that migraine to go away. very courageos of you to trim with a migraine. but results look amazing.

[chotee]

Wow...YOU have Lovely thick hair...and a great cut...your ends are beautiful now...:smile:

[little_acorn]

[Aditi]

[mellie]

:thudpile:

That's gorgeous!

[nycstar]

To the OP,
Your hair looks so beautiful and healthy! I remember years back when I stopped dying my hair and got to the point (after much waiting and trimming) that my hair was free of damage). What a wonderful feeling.
Congrats!!

[K_Angel]

Congratulations!!! :cheese:

Your hair looks awesome!!!!! :blossom:

[Pixna]

You did an outstanding job (migraine and all)!!! Your hair looks fabulous!!!

[redneckprincess]

looks fabulous!!!

[Kiraela]

It looks great - did you use Feye's self-trim method on yourself?

I did the V method, yep. One side ended up about half an inch shorter, and the other side had to be matched, heh.

Congrats!!

It really is a nice feeling to know that all my stupid teenage hair-mistakes have finally been cut out, haha. Almost all my hair is now what has grown out of my head since I met DBF in '06 - I had it bleached two months before I met him in person, and that's the last time I've done anything permanent to it colorwise.

[starlights]

its looks great!!!

[FrannyG]

Wow!!! What a beautiful cut! Your hair looks lovely and the loss in length really isn't noticeable. As a sister migraineur, I know how difficult it is to do anything when in the midst of a migraine. Well done! :blossom:
