No trimming 2023! First half only!

**QuietVixen** · January 30th, 2023, 05:35 PM

I am glad I got through the first month of the no trimming challenge. My hair hemline still looks decently blunt and I might only have 2-3 months left to reach hip length.
I hope everyone else has had a wonderful first month of the challenge!

Can I join this if I do S&D only?

Thank you! Yes, I did wet my hair because I have to many curls without wet hair, it makes it hard to make it even. And Yess, so simple! I feel so self sufficient now!

Ohh thank you! Yes I do, now I feel proud again :-) my bangs are lovely as well.

Maybe I will do that, but I want to trim when it's necessary in the future. My ends are less snaggy now, i think it's better for the hair shaft to trim when I have too much breakage.

My goal was not to measure until the end of the challenge, but since I’ve been wanting to trim I decided to measure as encouragement, and I’m now at 25”, which is 0.5” of growth for the month. It got rid of the trimming urge since now I don’t want to cut off my progress!

Colormehappy, great job at removing your urge! I hope your hair keeps growing nicely throughout the challenge.

Oh, I didn't realise we were measuring too, but I think that is a great idea! I'll do a measure tomorrow and post it.

Happy to have gotten through month one with semi-healthy hemline! Haven't noticed any splits or reasons to S&D yet.

One month in, y'all!

I've been thinking I would do an updo. I'm currently trying to tie my hair up everyday for at least a month so that the urge to trim goes. So far it's working. It's also saving my scalp from grabby baby hands
