View Full Version : Cut off some damage + new hairdresser love (pix)

Hi! I went for my first trim in 2 years and to a new hairdresser yesterday (since we have moved). I discussed my plan with her to grow out my layers and grow to waist length. I thought I'd lose 2 inches to get rid of the last layers but she said it's more like 4 inches but the last 4 inches are quite damaged so she'd suggest cutting it and starting anew. I agreed and I'm glad I did - My hair is so healthy! She understood the desire to grow long and supported me not using heat to do so. She suggested a light dusting every 10-12 weeks since hair may only grow 1/2 inch a month. I also wanted bangs and she agreed with me that blunt bangs would not suit me since I have a round face and a short forehead (according to her) so she cut side-swept bangs which she expected would look nice. I like them! I haven't had bangs in 15 years! It's so nice to feel like my hairdresser understands the desire to have long hair and I'm enjoying this fresh start - only trim since finding LHC so now I know how to maintain healthy hair. The fried ends were remnants of blow drying and hot iron!
Thanks for letting me share!

Gorgeous!!
Your ends are so lovely and thick!
And congrats on finding a hairdresser who understands your hair goals and is willing to listen to you, and is not pushy or just does what she wants! Good for you!

I really like the nice U-shaped hemline she gave you! Here is living proof that sometimes little setbck length wise for the sake of maintaining the condition of your ends definitely pays off!

The cut is lovely! I think a lot of us have had to get a few inches of pre-LHC hair cut off before we were able to grow really healthy hair that we feel good about.
You made a great decision, and I'm so happy for you that you found a hairstylist who will support you in your journey!
Enjoy those beautiful healthy ends! :blossom:
