Reply With QuoteIve trimmed all through my growing journey but did most trims at waist. I am now past waist and I shall not be trimming until May when hopefully I shall be at hip length, then I shall trim 1/2" off which will maybe give me a blunt hemline.
at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
most people trim to thicken their hemline at some point right? when? my plan is to do so at waist, but i was curous how others do it.

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I put tailbone but I'll probably grow until I can't stand how the hemline looks anymore, trimming twice a year (ok, maybe more but I'm trying for twice!). I'm lucky in that I don't have a whole lot of taper but I do have some layers and old bangs and the regrowth from a stress fall. I'm hoping that by trimming as I go I'll avoid having to maintain for a thick hemline!

I am currently maintaining my hair at BSL.

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I like fairytale ends, so when I reach my goal of waist I won't be trying to thicken my hemline, unless it looks absolutely terrible.
Currently growing out dyed hair, and then it's on to waist
Last dye - 10th December 2013, will cut at 5 inches of roots
1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 - 3.5 - 4 - 4.5 - 5
Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I voted waist because this is the milestone that I will not resent trimming. Once I have the hemline I would like and have grown out my layers I will most likely grow to hip.

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I'm not to waist, yet. But when I hit waist, I'm going to trim 2 inches to get the rest of my heat-damaged hair off.

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I actually haven't had a trim in more than 3 1/2 years, but I checked off both waist and hip since my hair falls between the two and I'm going for a trim tomorrow. I can't stand my scraggly fairy tale ends any more and I want a thick, blunt hemline again before continuing on my growing journey to classic!

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I said waist because I have been hanging out in the waist lands for awhile trimming off old dye/layers. The end result is a thicker hemline.

Re: at what length do you start trimming to thicken your hemline?
I maintained at MBL for three months. My hair really needed it because my ends were dry and damaged. I didn't pick a specific length in mind to maintain. I just make sure to keep an eye on my ends and microtrim when needed because I don't want several inches of thin ends that I have to spend months trying to thicken up. I'd rather just take a month or two after I reach a milestone to maintain and get rid of some ends. I also don't want to go without trimming for several years and then have to cut off several inches that I had spent a year or more growing. I'd rather trim it along the way.
My ends satisfy me at the moment, so I won't microtrim (notice I didn't say trim) them until one inch of my ends become scraggly.
