: I'm afraid my quest for terminal length has come to an end - at least for now. My active lifestyle just isn't that compatible with pampering my hair, especially with very long ends. I also have limited time in the morning and I'm not able to painstakingly detangle it before braiding it. I would hear snapping almost every time so I know I was inflicting damage.
: I found that I could no longer fully enjoy my long hair because I rarely wore it loose. The last few inches would always tangle and just not look good most of the time.
: The length itself was cool and if I had different genetics (coarse hair), it might be an entirely different story. My hair is super fine and very difficult to keep healthy after a certain point.
: I had my wife cut 4 inches off. It was less than the dramatic 7.5 inch cut from May 2012 but still quite significant. I love how I can now run my hands through the ends and not hear snapping. Who knows, maybe I'll try again for terminal at some point but I'm starting to think I'd do better to maintain with regular trims.
Hi Jason,
I am sorry to hear of your situation! However, I am afraid I'm still jealous of your hair! But you certainly must do what makes sense. I would much rather have hair that I could enjoy along with living the lifestyle I choose.
I must say your wife did a wonderful job cutting your hair. It is nice to hear you are happy how it feels now. I do hope you try for terminal length again in the future. You just never know my friend how long it will ultimately grow!
I am thinking of having my wife trim some off the middle in the back only. I am getting a pointed hemline in the back which I don't really like. Probably need to take off ~3 inches to correct this. My side layers are trying to get past shoulder so will not touch those at all. Thanks for the very nice update and keep enjoying your hair!
