LAWYERGIRL, I feel your pain about the trimming. I went last week for a dusting but didn't have any length cut off. Hopefully I can go quite a bit longer than 8 wks this time. I just can't stand it when the whole mullet thing starts happening.

My fear is that if I don't have the back evened up along the way, I will HATE my hair and just cut it all off again. So, in keeping my sanity, trims are going to be necessary. I'm just trying to keep it to 1/2" or less when I *do* get a trim.

Can I join please?
I have done a major cut before christmas and my hair is now sort and heavily layered

Its in really good condition and I am going to start Sorbolene washing soon (hopefully tomorrow) so I am ging to keep it in as good a condition as I can and trim it, if at all, as little as possible.
I am at work at the moment but will be on later and will post a current piccy so you can all see what stage I am at!

Hi, Gilly! Heck yeah, you can join us!

I look forward to seeing your pics.

I got in too late last night to do pics but will do them tonight, my Sorbolene arrived last night so hopefully I have got the itch sorted, now all I need to do is concentrate on growing again

Just wanted to update everyone (since I know you're all on the edge of your seats) but I did not trim on Friday and so far, I am so glad I didn't! As I mentioned before, I pushed the appointment back to the 20th. I'll trim eventually for sure, but I'm glad I gave myself the chance to gain a little more length!

lawyergirl -- your trim is looking good! How are you feeling about it?

**Pixna** · February 10th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Why, yes, tiggens, as a matter of fact, I HAVE been on the edge of my seat!

I'm glad you held off -- if you're not ready, you're not ready. Wait until you are 100% certain. The general "rule" is to wait at least 14 days and then revisit the decision. If you still aren't sure, wait another 14 days, etc.

I agree that LawyerGirl's trim turned out great. We all have to figure out the best way to get through this rough patch so we can have smooth growing!

Great!! I'm erm, actually slightly dreading the weather getting warmer as the mullet is getting very very mulletty now and a hatless day would be a disaster. However, I can go from beanies to bakerboys made of cotton. Your mullet link made me feel so happy because I laughed so much.

My sideburns are killing me at the moment. I can't slick them back with gel as that really emphasises the mullet look, but if I leave them they stick out like a clown's hair. My crown is doing some kind of flat look too but that's the least of my worries. I wish women in the UK wore more headscarfs the traditional way, you know, tied under the chin. I'd love to wear them like that but nobody under 85 does so here. I might take a piccy of myself in one for a laugh but don't get excited, it's taking me a while to work out how to add images, lol.

Hey there, Beaky! Is there something WRONG with clown's hair (see my avatar, please)???

I am such an inner dork, too. I'd love to wear what we in the U.S. call babushkas. When I was a kid, I would always put on scarves like that, tied under my chin, and my mother rapidly whisked them off my head for fear I would embarrass her. I am so comfortable in that "rural peasant" look, but, sadly, no one seems to appreciate my quirky taste.
