Tailbone to classic thread!

Well, I'm glad it's not just me.

O.k., so this is the plan. I'm going to get my usual small trim (no more than 1-inch). I am going to stop combing it while it's wet. I think I may be stretching my hair when I do that, making it weaker. Plus it looks it's best 2C-ness if I completely leave it alone and let it dry all clumpy.

That's my 2010 "classic length this year" resolution.

I should probably micro-trim myself.
But as for leaving it to comb 'til it dries, I don't think that would work for me. I think in my twenties I used to do that..and that's why it went no longer than between BSL and waist..I think I used to get a lot of breakage of hairs combing out dry after a wash..mind you, back then I can remember preferring to do that because it would end up being fluffier with more volume after drying and combing (a time before mousses - hah).

longinthehair: I find I need the slip the hair being wet gives me to comb it out. I wouldn't dare leave it to dry uncombed.

So I am still at the top of tailbone, but it was weird I have been having short days here recently. I feel like my hair is geting shorter yet I know it not. I told one of my non long hair friends about having a short day and she looked at me like I was crazy.

I know all about short days! Today I was combing my hair and I had a crazy second where I thought it was at hip length again.

I feel like my hair is short sometimes too...and then when I look in the mirror it's a surprise, lol.

My roommate's hair is barely an inch long and thus we are total hair opposites. krn2891, I have seen that same crazy look before.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Happens to me all the time at the moment

I have very thin ends from S&Ding and while camping this weekend in Arizona decided that I rather desperately needed a trim. Needless to say, I whacked off 1/2 inch to eliminate a bunch of splits while removing as little hair as possible. Its been about five months since my last trim so I figured I could spare it. I told Les what I had done and he started teasing me about whacking off again. *lmao*

My hair felt super dry from the time in the desert so after I rinsed out the five pounds of dust that had blown into it on the weekend I got to treat it with my Argan oil that just arrived from Montreal. My hair is quite happy at the moment and I really don't miss that half inch. I may have to do 1/4 inch trims for a bit so that I still gain length but thicken up my hemline over time.
