Okay.... why is it that stylists want to pressure you to trim trim and trim??!
I know my hair is not in perfect condition. It is probably impossible to get all of those splits. I let him cut off 2 INCHES last week. I have to admit, I needed it and I was willing to let go of having BSL hair in order to have healthy APL hair and ends. I trust my stylist. He seems to care about healthy hair. Fine.
Then he told me again today that he wanted to cut off a little more. At my next relaxer touch up, right? No. Now. How much more? Probably another inch or half inch. (which means an inch)
NO!
(besides that "trim" costs another 50 bucks!)
I refuse! If I were to go back and cut my hair again, I think I'd be so upset that I'd just go put my hair in braids again and ignore it b/c I just wouldn't be happy with my hair the way it was. That's how I wound up wearing braids to begin with. I hated my hair and trying to watch it grow!
He then told me that waiting for the next trim wasn't going to help b/c the splits are just going to keep traveling up my hair and i will have thinner strands b/c of splitting. UGH. Seriously, he's got me paranoid about my hair but if I let him cut it, I think I'd have a friggin' heart attack.
He did apologize and said he understood that I wanted to keep my length but that he was also a perfectionist and wants my hair to look good.
I know that several of you in there are anti trim and have nice looking hair. Can someone back me up please??!
