Well, I trimmed off an inch on Saturday and my measurement is back to 45 inches, so I had a pretty good month growth wise. My ends were tangling really bad and even though the ends looked good, very few splits, I went ahead & trimmed an inch. I was going to do 3 inches, but I wanted to see how it reacted to just one inch first. The splits that I do have are all along the length, not on the very ends, so unless I trim off 8 inches, it isn't going to help much. I don't have the time or patience to twist & trim all the splits along the length right now, so I will have to see how it goes this month & decide if I want to trim any more off. I really just have not been happy with my hair at all lately. The shedding has not improved and I am just frustrated with it for some reason. I may have to start varying my routine to see if it helps any. I have actually considered doing a major trim of several inches, but I know I would regret it, so I am trying to deal with this phase my hair seems to be going through.
