my stylist used to trim only on the occasion that my hair really needed it. she's never been the scissor happy type, and she always respected me in how much or how little i wanted her to trim. however, this yr, i let her know my mission to grow my hair out really long, and the strangest thing has happened. she told me we would trim it less often, yet then she turned around and decided to start trimming it every other relaxer (or every 12 weeks), which was actually more frequent. recently, she even began trimming it every single relaxer!!! last time i was in there she even suggested that maybe we should cut a few inches off...wtf?? i reminded her that just last yr we cut 1.5in off, and she says that we didn't get off all the bad ends w/ that. when she gave me that cut, she told me back then that we got rid of all the bad stuff. not to mention, i used to ask her every relaxer if i needed a trim, and she would usually say no or to wait. why did she keep telling me my hair was in good shape and didn't need a trim, only to come back later and tell me that it was getting really bad on the ends and needed inches hacked off, lol? anyway,
it almost makes me feel like she's trying to prevent me from reaching my length goal, now that she knows what i'm aiming for.
