s&d benefits

[Breen]

I've been trying to s&d my hair lately because I haven't trimmed in a few months. I usually trim about a half an inch every 2-3 months but i'd like to make it through the summer without a trim to see where I can get.

My question is, is it really worth the trouble? I've tried so many times before to s&d regularly but it seems to be really tedious and doesn't get me very far as far as removing damage goes.
Do those of you who s&d find it beneficial in the long run?

I can't decide. I S&D for something to do if I'm stuck sitting somewhere, like passenger during a long car trip. The really awful splits stand out, so at least I get those before they can travel further up the shaft. I think it probably helps.

[McFearless]

Of course it helps. It gets rid of splits and prevents them from spplitting further up the strand which means in the long run you'll lose less hair to cuts, trims,etc

I think it's worth it. I've seen quite an improvement in just a little over a month of S & Ding (along with doing other things, like using a sleep cap). I always seem to be sitting in the car waiting for kids, or watching a not-very-interesting movie with the family :D, so I just pull out my scissors and do a quick look. I'm trying not to do more than light dustings until I reach lower BSL or waist, and I'm hoping S & D is going to help me do that.
