Hair Trim!!

Source

So I finally trimmed my hair!  Well let me restate, I finally did an actual trim.  The trims I have done in the past were doing nothing to eliminate my breakage or eliminate my damaged ends.  But because of my fear and desire to be shoulder length by August, I held off. 

Well, I'm back to full neck length after this latest trim.  I used MsVCharles' trimming method, and carefully detangled my hair.  I went through it a few times with my Denman D3 (with 3 rows removed so it has 4 rows now), and then carefully felt down the shaft of my hair.  I could feel the damage because my hair all felt the same until I got close to the ends and it felt rough. 

I went to Target and bought some hair trimming scissors, and clipped of between 1 and 2 inches of damaged ends of my hair.  I am a bit sad because I really want long hair, but I realize that I am doing more harm by ignoring the breakage I am having. 

Do you ever feel lik you are doing everything right but you still have breakage?  Well, that was my dilemma.  I was DC'ing once a week.  I co-washing, moisturizing and making sure to alternate my protein and moisture.  So why was my hair breaking?  It is still early to tell but I think the trim may have reduced the breakage I was experiencing!

I will update you all soon!
