POLL: Should your hair have the same thickness from root to tip?

[hillytmj]

Thanks for the great responses, ladies. It seems that the consensus is that the longer your hair gets (especially BSL, beyond), it's not uncommon for the ends to taper a bit. You all are so educated about this topic; I'm very impressed with the LHCF'ers, as always. :-)

A lady on the LHC posted a similar question yesterday. She kept cutting her hair BACK to waist length because of tapering on the ends. She did this for years. She finally came to the realization that her hair would never grow even all around, so she has stopped.

Just say "No" to scissors!!!

Wow, I'm glad we're all getting this answer before we repeat her scenario. I agree to just saying no, lol.

i don't think its necessary at all. if you want to get blunt cuts to maintain that look though, then do what ya do.

the only person i've seen with hair the same thickness from root to tip naturally is SouthernBella.

Hillytmj,
You said something about all your stylist's clients having SL hair (even if they started at APL), with the exceptions of you and her daughter. Ask her daughter where she gets her hair done...Sorry, I just think that lady's on the Hatorade; I had a friend like that who was always trying to give me a "trim" that ended up costing me a good inch of hard-earned growth. No more. There was nothing wrong with your ends that I could see.

LOL, . I'm laughing because my ex-boyfriend told me the same thing. I was like, "I don't know how her daughter has this long, thick MBL hair" and he said, "that's probably because she goes off on her mama if she tries to cut her hair." I haven't let her come near me with scissors since Feb. 2007. I did my own 2-inch trim because the ends didn't survive a recent corrective relaxer.

I agree with mwedzi. Hair has different growth phases, and as soon as one hair is shed that particular hair will have to start from scratch, therefore all the hair will never be all one length naturally.

Thicken ends may help curb damage though, but it is all personal preference.
