First trim in 6 months i cut it myself (pics)

[bunzfan]

As i am doing the no trim till Dec 2011 i decided i should give my hair a trim as it has already gone 7 months without a trim(no splits just dry ends)

I tried the cutting it yourself method i think it looks loads better as the hemline looks a lot thicker as i evened it up, but i am missing my length what do you guys think?

[bunzfan]

well done! nice and even

Thank you i think i cut to much off as i am a perfectionist about getting things like that just right.

[StarryNight]

I like it. I think your hemline was ok before, but I am a big fan of blunt hemlines, so I love it now, lol. Good job!

[bunzfan]

Thank you starrynight i love blunt hemlines to and it will be easier when braiding now as my layers are nearly at the bottom of braids after cutting,

[Dragon]

You did a great job :)

[Night_Kitten]

You did a great job trimming
Your hemline looks very full and even :)

[2peasinapod]

Great job! Your hemline looks so blunt and full. Very even, too!

[Ana-Laura]

It looks really good. You have beautiful hair!!

[nereida]

Wow girl, you are so brave :D Well done!

This is the problem I had to contend with when I started doing self trims. I kept taking just a bit more to even it up! Now when I trim I just do one (maybe two) tiny dusting swipes and then put the scissors away!!!

Wow girl, you are so brave :D Well done!

Haha that made me laugh i used to be a hairdresser but its a bit different cutting your own hair...so thank you :)

I think i need to take a leaf out of your book least it looks even now that's what i was worried about.

[spidermom]

You really did a terrific job! Congrats.

[curlymarcia]

It looks good now, but even the before was nice. Your hair is amazing!!

[triumphator!]

No I think that's a great starting point! It looks good. Here's to one year of no trimming :)

[Love23101]

Your hair looks great :)

Oh my what a compliment and i think if it was straight it would make life so much easier:)

That's what i thought if i give my hair a fresh start as i was already getting fairytale ends.


Your hair looks great :)

Thank you


You really did a terrific job! Congrats.

Thanks Spidermom i guess that hairdressing training came in handy but its not as easy cutting your own hair....braiding will be easier now the layers are near the ends :)

Its a perfect trim and I see no difference in the length.

I'll be trying self-trimming in January, after no trims in 2010. Your results are MOST encouraging; thanks for sharing! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

[tinti]

Wow, great job! I wish I was brave enough to do that... maybe when my layers are mostly gone :lol:

You can do it its easy really you start by putting your hair in pigtails this is how i did it http://community.livejournal.com/feyeselftrim/2156.html#cutid1 its actually quite easy.


Wow, great job! I wish I was brave enough to do that... maybe when my layers are mostly gone :lol:

I was going to do the same as you as i desperately want to reach waist but by my layers being nearing one length it makes growing it so much easier.

[Alvrodul]

Excellent job!
I self-trimmed for the first time myself in the end of October, and I am definitely going to do so again!
I am not going to join the "no trims in 2011" challenge - my hair (at least the ends - there still remains some chemical damage there!) is sure to act up if I do! But I am definitely going to try to keep my trims short and few - in addition to S&Ding.

[Avital88]

Well done!! you did awesome!
Im too scared to try it myself.
A blunt hemline is the most beautiful hemline i think..

The way i started was to take hardly any of at all but then i thought wouldn't look better if..... it was evened up ever more for a blunt look lol :)

[Henrietta]

Great job! It will regrow faster than you would think:) My hair always grows faster after a trim. And yours is so nice and even now! Enjoy it :)

I might try it too, my ends are rattails,:(

[yellowchariot]

bunzfan, I agree with everyone here, who said that you did a really excellent job! Your hair looks healthy to me! I wouldn't even know how to go about trimming/cutting my own hair! :D

Also 6 months is about my average 1" trim that I go in to see my stylist for. I'll be due for one in May or June.

Thanks for the nice compliment on my trim being even that is what i was most worried about

Thanks yellowchariot :) its a lot easier than you would imagine but i think wavy hair can hide any mistakes a lot easier than straighter hair. I'm so glad i did decide to cut now as my braids appear so much thicker.[/COLOR]
