I have been thinking about getting a trim.  I was thinking about cutting enough to eliminate the longest layer entirely.  It would even things out a bit, but I'm terrified of losing the length.  I just have so many splits despite trying to do search and destroy whenever I'm in the bathroom for a somewhat longer period of time and when I'm on the phone.....   

Perhaps I'll wait a while until I'm more comfortable with the idea.....my last trim was in May and prior to that it was August.......I know there is no point in having long hair if it's not healthy but I still have fears.   

I know my hair has grown since the shortest of the layers around my face are now long enough to put into a low ponytail without falling out.  I certainly do not want my layers touched at all.....

Any suggestions would be extremely welcome.

Bikerbraid-

Thanks for the thoughts.  I'm going to think about it for a while before making a decision....no rush decisions here!   

Yes, deciding what to do about layers is always a difficult one.   But not only layers do I have to think about but I'm also growing out color......what a mess!  The layers are bothersome to me most of all, however for the inability to finish a bun and french braid nicely.

Washed my hair tonight.  Used my  beloved Suave Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.   Now, I'm sitting, here, freezing, with wet hair.  Hopefully it will dry soon!!!


Other than that not a whole lot going on.  Life is as confusing as ever, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.  What a fool am I.......

I washed and conditioned this morning.  I was hoping that washing more frequently would decrease the amount of hair I lose each time.....wrong!  I really fear that I am losing too much hair each time I shampoo!  I will give it some more time before I see a doctor to discuss getting my thyroid tested.  I'm probably over reacting but this my hair we're talking about here!

Here's the translation.

Well, if you see yourself in this situation for how ever long, perhaps learning some stress reduction techniques will help your shedding.
A few recommendations:
*regular exercise-walking is great (shoot for 30 minutes a day, not distance)
*yoga-postures, breathwork &/or meditation
*soothing hot bath, with salts & essential oils-lavender is super calming
*journaling-get the thoughts out of your head-especially before bed so you get a good night's sleep
*read something spiritual, from whatever interests you or from your religious persuasion.  If you do this reading before bed, you will go to sleep with spiritual thoughts.  That may also help you make your decision.

No matter what happens, I wish you peace.

Washed this morning.  I need to clarify and do a deep conditioning but I just haven't had the time.  I'm nearly out of my beloved Suave Daily Moisture shampoo and conditioner.  Darn.  I'll have to spend more money I don't have (I know, only like $2.00, but every dollar counts you know  )

Still considering getting a trim and coloring....but I'm so co-dependent....I find it absolutely impossible to make life decision on my own.  Good Lord, what is wrong with me?

My life, Oh, my life......something's gotta give and I hope it goes soon.  By nature I'm somewhat negative and depressive.....but I try to push it all aside or people don't like me.  But, man....it's hard when life starts being reallly hard to live....

I did go back to the gym after not going for a month.  I didn't realize how much just getting out of this God forsaken house for an hour a day helps....(not like I don't work for like 9 hours a day, but still....ME TIME).

Ok, enough babbling and bellyaching.   Gotta go to work.
