So i basically thought i would be fancy and cut my hair myself in its shrunken state
When i was almost done twisting after the cut, it was horrendously uneven in the back...so i had to cut it some more (in the twists) to even it out a bit. It worked.
Then i realized that, because i cut the back, it kind of threw off the natural layers and shape i had going on, and i love the way my natural hair grows out.
So because the shape was off due to the massive cutting in the back i just snipped it some more throughout while it was in the mini twists to get some shape/layers back and all is well again.
BUT...needless to say, i unnecessarily lost hair in this process.
So, yea, cutting in twists from here on out.
