**Ylva** · October 10th, 2023, 05:11 AM

For this challenge, the no-trimming period is 11 January - 30 June 2024. No trims are allowed during this half of the year for you to be part of this challenge.

In order to participate, you need to trim at the latest January 10th 2024.
Challenge ends on June 30th 2024.

If you want to no-trim for shorter periods of time during the year, then the "no trimming club" is a better place for you:

You may maintain bangs, face-framing layers, undercuts, shaved sides, etc. You may not cut them in.
You may S&D.
You may not trim.

I’d like to join this challenge! Currently at collar bone length with layers that I desperately want to grow out. I am planning to trim at new year, I hope I can be at BSL by the end of this challenge!

I might do it!! I'm a compulsive trimmer who loves straight, blunt ends, but I want to experiment w no trimming and more "natural-looking" hemlines, so I'm doing it for the 2nd half of 2023.
I'll cut a lil bit off in late december and see how it looks, but I have a question about "You may maintain bangs, face-framing layers, undercuts, shaved sides, etc. You may not cut them in"... Does it go for changing up fringe styles? Like going from curtain to baby bangs? Bc if so... I won't last a month lol

We’ve had discussions like this before where I was of the opinion that such wouldn’t disqualify you from the challenge, while others thought that changing the fringe style counted as cutting them in.

I’m still inclined to say that it would be fine. It doesn’t alter the hemline, the actual length-length of your hair.

I agree with that, because the section of hair has already been cut and all that’s happening is a change in shape.

Since I only get a trim in between six months and a year and a half (though I had to wait twice as long when I was growing it back from losing it from chemo), I can definitely participate in this challenge. My last trim was in between 4-6 months ago (though I could be wrong) and I still have the hair (I was trying to match the color in case in goes gray/white and I don't get my former color back, but since it's been four years and I still have medium golden brown hair, I probably won't).

I'll be joining!! i'm 3 inches or so away from mbl, i'm hoping to get there soon.

I'll probably be here doing this , it will make it a year without trimming then

**Aerya** · October 11th, 2023, 09:56 AM

I'm in!

In as usual. I MIGHT finally get a teensy trim in the mid-year of '24. But we'll see. Not sure if i want to commit to another whole year of no-trims. Next August will make 4 years since my last trim and this January will be 4 years since my last real hair cut
