Hi all
Well I've hit a slump :( I know I've made progress with my hair since I found LHC last year - I'm much more careful with it, I protect it a lot more than I used to and my current routine seems to be working very well. I'm much happier with the overall condition, and that's a lovely feeling! However my hair has really taken a battering over the last couple of years, especially in 2007 before I found LHC. I was shampooing almost every day for about five months (ill last year, had crazy hormones which meant super-greasy hair every morning, YUK!) and blow-frying to make the horrid frizz more manageable. My hair just wasn't strong enough to withstand that kind of treatment.
I had a good 1.5"-2" of horrid, crispy, damaged ends (hair about 1" below BSL) and self-trimmed an inch of that a couple of months ago with excellent results. Yesterday I took a little more off, probably about 0.5", and also trimmed the layer by 0.5". The layer is just about shoulder length, maybe a little longer, and makes my hair feel so much thinner than it would if it was all one length. I feel like it's going to take FOREVER to grow out :( :( :( I really needed to make those trims and I know it means the hair I have left is healthier and looks better... but I just want it looooooooooong! I had a bad cut last April and the stylist really thinned out my layer by cutting the sections in the layer in a sort of V shape... Does that make ANY sense? I don't think I've described it very well! I didn't realise she'd done it until I got home.
I could really use a morale boost please please please, pretty please. Sorry to moan so much! It's just so frustrating. How long is it going to take to get rid of this layer?! It feels like years.
Okay, negative rant over!
TIA :flower:
