My ends are so much thicker and fuller... no split ends either since I no longer heat style! I use coconut oil and I braid often to protect it. I also love the U hemline I am achieving. I still have a long ways to go but so far so good, if I do say so myself :-P

It looks great! I love the U hemline too. Your ends look so much thicker. Really beautiful. That's what i want. My hair is close to the same length as yours.

Yu have done what i need to do.I am so sad but I need probably a 2 inch chop. And then some micro trims to get my heat styled, falt ironed, bleached blond and then dyed brown again (now faded to a wierd red) crunchy, tangely, split ends gone.

It's got to be hard to watch yourself lose length in the short term, but the end result looks really good I think.

Thanks for sharing!

I did it gradual to ease the pain and shock of it lol. I cut maybe a total of 2.5 - 3 inches off but honestly I think it looks 10x better a little shorter with thick even ends than longer and very scraggly like I was before. It'll be trimming frequently for a long time (ridding all of my layers) though until I'm happy to just let it grow.

That's a great series of pictures. Very interesting if you don't understand how tiny trims work. I hope this helps some who would otherwise go for a chop ... that makes them feel bad. Your hair looks great!!!! Very good work.
