Let's Discuss Kenya Moore's Hemline

She just had a baby. My guess is post partum shedding. It can be back to normal in a year. I babied my my hair like I already had a set back throughout my pregnancy and until 6 months after I stopped breastfeeding to fight that very normal side effect like war and I was very lucky along with grateful that it actually worked because I had a lot of shedding but because I preceded that with over a year of babying my hair it minimized the impact. Kenya's hair is not nearly as bad as it could have been but if she babies it now it will be back to normal in about a year even with trimming for thickness. I remember when I had my last setback(not related to PPS related to medicine + regimen neglect) I didn't even realize how my ends thinned until I saw photos. It was way worse than hers and I had to cut my hair to APL. Her ends are the result of post partum shedding and not nearly as bad a it could have gotten it will be back to normal soon. She needs to track her growth and make a post postpartum line while people are watching. That will hit if she does.

Baby, her hair looks perfect! Why trim the hair even? It's going to be uneven again 3 months later, and you will never gain any length. Anybody criticizing her hair is a hater for sure. White ladies hair looks like this all the time, but they never criticize each other. By the way, her ends were like this way before having a baby. She just knows the secrets to gaining length, which is to stop chopping it all off!

The picture actually looks like her hair was just trimmed. She has a beautiful head of hair and so much of it. If it was my hair, I wouldn’t be worried about the thinner hemline. I think it’s just the nature of hair. Not every hair grows at the same rate or is at the same stage of growth at the same time.

I think she could use 1-2.5 inches off. I think we naturally expect a certain amount of tapering (so we don't notice it or have an adverse reaction to well kept/natural layers that aren't overly thin at the ends), but she's past that amount of tapering. If your eyes go right to the thinness of the ends, you need a cut, and to trim more often. You can retain length and have thick/naturally thick ends with small but regular trims. It looks like she hasn't been doing that.

Also, I just realized something. I think that well maintained hair in people's minds = hair that is as blunt at the ends as naturally possible, aka a natural taper or thicker. Hair that is noticeably thinner than a natural taper, is hair that looks "bad" to most people. I think because it looks like its not "kept up" (up as in "kept at its best"). Someone who keeps themselves "up" is a representation of that person's sanity, health, cleanliness and a bunch of other things to our subconscious minds. Hence why most people instinctively dislike thin ends.

I agree. I think there is a huge difference between having "perfect" blunt ends, and scraggly see thru whispy ends. Neither extreme is necessary to grow long healthy hair. You do not have to cut your ends every 2 weeks or not trim it at all in months/years in order to have "long hair".
She can obviously rock whatever look she wants to rock, but if she is selling hair products and claiming to have long "healthy" hair, you are held to a certain standard when it comes to how you present your product (in this case it's her hair). If I was a fitness trainer selling my training workout program and my meal plan, people/clients will expect me to be up the part and have my body on point since that's what I am selling. Yes, that includes criticism and people telling you their piece of mind about what you are selling, that applies to every field/industry and the beauty industry is no exception.

Yeah, if that were my hair I wouldn't trim. Real hair is naurally thinner at the ends because that's the oldest hair. The ends aren't split or raggedey. I personally love the big lion's mane picture...
