It's only been a little over a month since I first cut my hair, but I found myself today cutting it yet again. I took about 2-3 inches off the length! My hair was a little past BSL I think and reaching waist (what I want) but I was getting frustrated with it because the last four inches or so keep getting tangled and get tons of split ends (where the last of my colored hair ends). It's crazy because there's barely a color difference to my hair because it was dyed to match, but I can definitely feel a difference! Had no idea what a difference not dying my hair for almost two years can do.
I had to cut some insane layers (up to shoulder) last month to even out poorly chopped layers from a stylist last year, but now that those are evened out I'm planning on only cutting a slightly less deep V each time (and ignoring layers except for S&D), taking more and more of the length and less off the front until it's less dramatic and the layers start getting long. In the process cutting out the last of my color. I was originally planning on only doing it every so often, but now I'm getting scissor happy and might start doing some microtrims in the the meantime! haha.
Anyone else start getting crazy about self-trims after a lifetime of bad stylists cuts making you a little gun shy (or rather "scissor shy")? I'm loving how I can just go into the bathroom and make my hair feel so much better with a quick trim instead of agonizing over having to go to a salon and pay out for something I never end up liking.
edit: A second reason for cutting off some length was graduation and job hunting. So many places seem to think it's less professional to have long hair and the cut took me from the longest layers curling around my chest in the front to just above them, about the longest I've gotten before I start being questioned in the "real" world. *rolls eyes*
