i believe in it. As long as they are not split, the rest of the hair will "catch up". I'm so glad that I did not trim mine.
 
I chopped and it still looks like I have lead hairs :lol:. I'm pissed because from the front my hair looks super blunt cut and to me it looks kinda of unnatural and icky lol. I can't wait for some unevenness to grow in lol.

I am so excited to see some lead hairs finally touching my waist, so I'm definately leaving them alone. :yep: Thin ends aren't an issue for me, anyway, since my hair is NEVER totally straight, not even to check length.

Great thread OP.

I think hair should only be trimmed when the ends are split. I for one am not going to trim (only doing search&destroy) until I've reached my goal of full tailbone length.

OH how I wish that I could have seen this thread when I first started my hair journey.
Since Jan 2010 I have cut off 12" plus of hair. :sad:
My hair in the back is a different texture than the rest of my hair alot finer. I have been bunning 95% of the time with a sew in in the middle back were the breakage occurs. Now the middle back has caught up and passed the rest of my hair.
I hope tp be FBSL in Dec. 2011. No more major cutting just dusting.

Thank you my LHCF sisters, jenaccess

Glad I saw this thread. I like blunt ends. I've been wearing my hair straight most of the time for the last couple years, so I've been especially sensitive to unevenness.

I've been trying to give my hair a break from the heat recently, going a few weeks with no straightening (or dusting/trimming). I'll probably be mostly wet bunning for the rest of the summer, so I know whenever I go back to straightening I can expect to see lead hairs peeking out. I'll have to resist the urge to snip...

do any of u have issues with tangles? My lead hairs tend to tangle and i;m getting tempted to just cut them off.

This is a great listing. I have noticed that my hair grows faster on the right in the front. The meddle has a lot of shrinkage but is longer than I thought. I haven't cut a thing . I will wait it out also. Thanks a lot guys. You are all some wonder ladies!!!

Omg, this is a revelation to me! I haven't read Chicoro's book yet so didn't know about 'lead hairs.' I always thought if my hair was uneven on the ends, that meant some of it was breaking and it needed a trim. :nono: Laws a mercy! Thank you all for this.

my mom taught me about hair "catching up" years ago (even on opposite sides) but this thread really help to drive it home...

Your hair is gorgeous inspiration! On a side note, I knew you were an Apostolic sister from that pic. Don't know how, just a hunch from that jean skirt (this from a fellow Apostolic)!
