I guess it was coming

I got the scissors out again today!

So that's it, the relaxed ends are pretty much gone. I can see from looking at the pictures that I have a few ends that need neatening up. Chopping the hair was quite a cathartic experience and I felt great when I'd finished. Funnily, I feel more 'locked' than I did before; does that make sense? No doubt I'll spend the weekend experimenting with ways to style my new hairdo; any suggestions will be greatly received - it's my nieces Christening next week and I had planned to have my hair up.

It all became too much

And so I decided to take matters into my own hands.





I cut off most of the the relaxed ends from the back of my hair. It was fairly difficult, as I was doing it mainly by touch; I did stop short of cutting all of the relaxed hair, although I was very tempted.

I'm not sure of how much of a visual difference it has made, as the ends from the centre and top of my had seem to cover the area that I trimmed. Still, I feel better and that's what matters, right?

Getting used to it

Gosh, it's a different kettle of styling fish with this new haircut. I plaited my hair on Saturday night and when I took them out yesterday morning I really didn't like it. So, it seems the method of styling I was just getting used to no longer suits me; to get rid of the curls I had to wash my hair.
I think with my hair at this length I'm going to avoid curls and waves; although many of you can't see it, I have lost quite a lot of length. I don't 'miss' the ends; as you know they had been troubling me for some time and of course I always knew that they would go at some point.
I do feel that it looks thicker and more 'locked' and as British Summer Time finally finds itself , it's a great length for the heat.

4th Tightening, 1st Cut!
