Regret it much?

I have a question. How do I add a signature? The FAQ said that you cab set your signature by editing your profile, but I see no option of signature in my profile, except for the show/don't show signatures box.

I recognize your problem. One and a half year ago My hair was also APL some layers SL and some even shorter. I take trips to the hairdresser every 5 months. Every haircut I make it very clear to the person who's cutting my hair what I want. I let them cut 1 inch from the bottom of my hair and half an inch of my layers. Sometimes I ask to cut a little more.

Now my hair is BSL. I have 1 layer at APL en a bit of a V shape in my hair. I guess that in a years to bottom is all the same length with stil a bit of V shape. Because my bangs are still between jaw length and shoulder length.

i would just keep trimming the hemline only, the layers will eventally grow out. You should probably do S&D for splits though also

I have really layered hair and it looks nice down but it is such a pain to put it up or braid it.....My plan is to cut them little by little as my hair grows longer

I'm probably going to be in the same boat later this year: i recently got a short cut (above shoulders) and I'm already.. yup.. back to the Long Hair Community forum.

I'm growing out layers due to bleach damage. I had a 6 inch chunk tore from my hair. The hair dresser tried to even my v hem line it won't stay as time wears on its the mean time I'm at arm pit length again. She had to cut about 4 inches off the hem line to straighten out my v. I wish she would have left alone. I'm going to monistat and oil wear up hope it grows.

I'm growing out layers too. I always make sure to tell the hairdresser that I'm growing them out and do NOT want them trimmed too. I hate them! I had waist length hair before I let this beauty school girl talk me into layers. My shortest are near my chin and longest midback. I have to braid my hair now when it's wet or else I get pieces hanging out. Meh.

Us shorties have layers MAGNIFIED.......and my advice is the same........grow and microtrim regularly ( I do it every 3 months). Since your hair is long, you may want to learn to trim it on your own. ( i intend to learn this when my hair gets longer). If you go under articles, there is one on how to microtrim your own hair.
