So I go and get my touch up after a 16 week stretch (new pics in my album, but I have to wait on someone else to take some "good shots" for me and I'll add those in the next day or two)...Anywho, i had already made up my mind that I wouldn't let my stylist clip my ends this time after the disaster last time. After he is done blowdrying and flatironing, he grabs his scissors....I tell him "ummmm, i don't think we will be neededing those; me and your scissors really don't get along well at all - remember last time"? He shows me my ends and says "look at this"...I go "and"....Then he just proceeds to style.
So I dropped by this beauty school today just to get another opinion. There were whites and blacks in there and they do all kinds of hair. I asked if i could speak w/someone about POSSIBLY clipping my ends. They say they will get the director. A nice black lady comes and tells me it's $8 for a dry cut...I tell her I don't want a CUT, just to check if my ends need to be clipped and they haven't been clipped for 16 weeks. First off, I had my hair in a bun and she says "take it down". Then when I take the bobby pins out, her mouth drops and she starts to run her hands all through my hair saying "oh my gosh, why do you have all this beautiful hair pinned up, you should be wearing it down cause it's so pretty!" Then i tell her that i don't want it rubbing all over everything (coat, sweater, etc.) so it's no big deal and i keep it pinned up. Besides it was raining out.......
Then she goes "well you need to get your ends clipped every FOUR WEEKS". She says "they don't look bad, you only need about this much (holding her fingers up looking like about 1/2 inch between her two fingers) taken off)......Then she goes on to tell me that she couldn't do it but one of the students would do it......and i have to sign a release form....I tell her, ummmmm, I think i will just walk next door and do some shopping and if i come back, then we can do business, if i don't, i chickened out....
I ran out the door too fast to see what she said!
Now how can someone clip their ends EVERY four weeks. Your hair would stay the same length forever!!!
~~~I posted some new pics from my touchup in my album, but i haven't been able to get a really good shot of the back of my head. I'll have some help to take the pics tomorrow, so i will have some better shots them...~~~

That lady didn't know what she was talking about. 
Nobody HAS to get their hair trimmed every 4 weeks. Unless you're doing major heat damage to your hair every week, or putting curling irons to your ends, I dont' see the need to trim every 4 weeks.
No wonder stylists don't know anything! A DIRECTOR of a beauty school is teaching them the wrong thing!
