2-3".

I really need to cut back, I've been trimming all my progress away. I dust every so often, so major trims shouldnt be as often as mine (2/3 times a year )

I voted I don't trim at all. Is it necessary if you wear your hair curly 98% of the time? Has anyone received any damage from not trimming? (TIA) I want to get my hair straightened around the holidays. I guess I will find out if not trimming is damaging at that time.

So far, this year alone - I have had 8 inches trimmed off and working on getting the rest of it pretty soon. But typically I trim about 2-2.5 inches a year, maybe 3 inches but that's in the past. I am not trimming unless I really have to moving forward, so that means I'd really have to watch my ends really closely.
