I have about BSL-length which has some bleach damage. My problem is that I will sit every night and either pick through my hair for split ends or (eek...) take a strand, pinch my fingers at the base and slide my fingers all the way down to the end to pull out any broken or split hairs. I always have a small collection of hairs by the time I am done.
This is a HORRIBLE habit, and I need to stop. I have tried wearing updos, but whenever even a tiny strand falls down, I pick the habit back up again. I oil, mist, deep condition...and I am actively trying to grow out natural hair.
I am afraid to trim because I worry I'll trim and the splits will be back where they were before, only my hair will be shorter. I feel like I have only gained a few inches in the years I have been trying to grow.
Any advice, pleeease, friends?
