Hey everyone, just writing in for a bit of advice. I'm growing out layers and I've gotten rid of quite a few in the last two trims.
However, in the trim before last, the hairdresser took the front sections of my hair (hair coming from my temples) and SLICED downwards with her scissors. I also have some layers in those sections as well.
So those sections have horribly thin ends and damage like you wouldn't believe. I've been S&D-ing and that's helped a bit, but it's like a never-ending quest.
When my hair is curly from a bun, they aren't so noticeable, as they just taper into a curl. But when it's just wavy or on the straighter side, they just look so ratty and rough.
I'm wondering if I should cut away the ends in the front and have a really exaggerated U-shaped hemline. I'm more concerned with growing the layers in the back that go from top to bottom than growing out the side to center layers. However, that may make braids and buns a bit more difficult.
Should I cut away the thin ends all together? Should I leave it alone and just grow to goal and maintain while the layers catch up? Or should I trim a moderate amount, not get rid of all the thinness, but make growing them out a little better?
