Breathing a huge sigh of relief! (Pic heavy)

Awww, you all are making me feel so good about myself! Thank you for all the lovely compliments! They are a great antidote to mid-February S.A.D. depression. LHC is clearly awesome.

Wow it looks so much healthier! Well done , and thanks for the motivation.

I need to do this but I struggle to find 6 spare hours and I know nothing about Moon Cycles . I currently have split hairs of every length between BSL and Chin!

There is a whole thread for it: Trimming and the Moon. There are lots of links in that thread if you want to learn about how the Moon affects hair growth. Then you can take it or leave it. I don't truly know if trimming during the new/waxing moon helps hair growth, and I'm even less sure about it needing to be when the moon is in particular signs. But hey, I don't want to hurt my chances, and I definitely believe the Moon subtly affects many aspects of our lives.

Hee hee, you're so funny! I can definitely understand your elation! By the way, the picture of that split end made me go Yowza!!

I wish I had the patience for an S & D- it's been almost 3 months since my last trim and I still haven't found any splits yet. I'm hoping it'll stay that way for just a liiittle bit longer. Your hair looks great after the trim!

Still, that is one impressive split right there.

Your hair looks great. You have such patience to do those long S&D's! Something you need to have long hair!

Beautiful!!! I shall stop obsessing over my few splits now. You've done amazing!!!!! That effort was totally worth it.

Thanks! I'm still obsessing over the few splits that are left/newly formed though. I keep my hair scissors on my desk and every time I notice a split, I cut it (and any others near it) off right there. My hair is quite prone to splits, so I'm still trimming off probably 20-30 split ends each day. It doesn't take much time or effort, and I'm pretty sure this is the only way I'll be able to avoid having to spend 12+ hours on it again a few months from now. Nothing wrong with a little obsession!!

Wow! That is some splits! Have your hair always been prone to splitting? Does oiling or anything help at all so that you won't get so many? I don't have your hairtype, is it something that is typical for 2a-hair?
It is beautiful after the trimming, it looks very healthy and happy

I second what Kaelee said, getting quite thankful that my hair rarely get splits at least.

Good job though, the difference is amazing!

Nice job, it looks great! I keep a pair of scissors (Swiss Army Knife) in my bag because I'm a mad snipper of splits as well. I don't get many, but when I do notice one, it drives me nuts if I can't snip it off!

I went through something like this two years ago. This is why I do microtrim dustings. I have been doing one every full moon but now I am going to stretch it a tiny bit to get some more length by alternating full and new moon trims. I don't want to get in this predicament again. Some seem to be able to go a long time without trims and not have too much trouble but every time I try to go too long I get massively fuzzy ends. The dustings help me keep the ends nice without sacrificing growth. It is working pretty well.

Your really patient, i dont think i could do it for that long. It looks fantastic now
