Should I cut my long damaged hair short?

My hair is down to my knees, it didn't got that way without trimming off my split ends. Even healthy hair like mine, get split ends due to normal styling & brushing. Spend 5-10 mins.

On a sunny day so you can easily spot them. Using a 2" scissors, cut each strand by strand, section by section. Until they're 99% trimmed.

Then 2x a year, get a good trim. I cut mine 4" 2x a year. If you think ALL OF YOUR HAIR are split, due to hair straightening, a good trim is best.

No hair products can fix split ends, not even conditioners or oil. That's like hiding the main problem under a rug. I don't use conditioner or oil on my hair.

We have soft water, for one thing. I also don't abuse my hair, using chemicals, or heating styling tools. When I blow dry my hair, I use two towels to absorb most of the water, by then they're halfway dried.

Then blow dry for 5 mins. Now that it's winter, I stand by the heater, until it stops, then blow dry concentrating just the roots. The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that are good for the hair, but they also sell products that damage the hair and they do not even give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.

If you do decide to cut your hair, make sure you save your hair, so you can compare the color as you get older. I guarantee you it may not be that same color or healthy again. You'll never know how you look like in short hair, until you do.

Gyneth Paltrow had a boy's hair when she had her long longs cut, and she had long hair ever since. That's how I feel when my hair was shorter. It's been longest now than when I was in HS, and I've always have it Princess Di's short or down to my bra strap.

If you decide to have it long, cut the split ends, and try to experiment with different hairstyles. I can do 7 in a week, and it takes 2-10 mins. To do, using hair sticks or claw clips.

Example in my profile. I've posted 19 in 6 months.

Tell the hair dresser person to thin it out and razor it and cut about 2 - 4 fingers off. Btw, your hair is gonna be completely DAMAGED by june, unless you cut it earlier. Use Silk Elements heat protection.

Or a got 2 be protectant // chi if you have a chi.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
