Thinking about cutting my hair

[desisparkles]

I'm thinking about cutting my barely waist length hair back to reduce thinning at the ends. Worried that even if I do, I could suffer another shed and be in worse shape. It's a pickle.

What about micro trimming so you get the hemline you want but slowly so you keep your length?

Those thinner ends will help you a lot in bunning. If wearing your hair in a bun is your thing, I'd keep the thinner ends. In the spring of last year, I cut my thinned-out BCL hair up to solid hip (quite a long distance on me), and suddenly, buns just wouldn't hold.

From reading your post, my first thought is to get a professional to put some layers in your hair, you could specify, layers from waist down or something.
Secondly, if your hair is very heavy and thick, a bun is probably the worst way to distribute that weight, unless it was directly on the top of your head! You could try some braiding and pinning it around your head evenly etc.
Ultimately (for me) enjoyment is the reason for having long hair, sorry it's proving to be a pain at the moment!

Micro trimming sounds like something that could help. Thank you for bringing it up.

Thank you for mentioning that. I am starting to wear my hair up more to keep it from tangling.
