What to tell the hairdresser?

[Gilly]

Hi,

I have decided that I am going to try and grow out all my layers and grow one length (except for a fringe/bangs) I am going to make an appointment a local salon that has a good reputation for really listening and doing what they are told.

At the moment I have lots of layers of different lengths in it and its starting to look messy, how can I tell them that I want to grow it to one length but still do microtrims so the ends of the layers dont get ratty and damaged?

Does that make any sense???:confused:

I'm also growing out my layers, but I'm doing more than micro-trims because I have damage. So far I have been telling my stylist to trim 1/2 inch from my layers, and an inch from the total length. It's growing out nicely so far. :) I have a bit of a fear of salons, so I have been having a family friend who has a licence come to my house to do it. I feel a bit more in control, and like I can voice my opinion better in my own home. At the end of August I have an appointment in a real salon, so we will see how that goes...
