yamilee21 Then that could count as your official trim and you start the challenge now You will still get some splits and knots after you cut you'll never get them all trust me I cut too much length and progress away trying but do focus on LOC moisture and sealing those ends maybe try some hair butter that's helped me a lot with sealing my ends I moisturize seal with my light oil then butter the ends this is what gets me through the brutal winters here HTHI usually trim in the spring, and do S & D the rest of the time. I hadn't trimmed before my first post in this thread. I guess I have to pay more attention to my ends too; keeping my hair up with the ends sealed with castor oil doesn't seem to be enough.
I take it one day at a time!
what is your porosity? Mine is low. I can't really do the heavy sealing.
. I straightened my hair and started to S&D. In my defense, I ONLY clipped 8 single strand knots and about 10-20 split ends 
. Someone please hold me accountable. I'm usually only tempted to trim when I straighten so it looks like Imma be heat free til May 
.
. I'm grazing WHIP length 
kblc06 Put the scissors down and step away :#sigh I fail lol
Actually put them away down at the bottom of a cabinet or drawer and forget about them like I had to. Also if I feel the urge to cut I think about how much progress I've made am making when I don't constantly cut it off. Also looking at my top YT inspirations in this thread help too. I keep those bookmarked and ready. Notice they all stopped cutting for a significant amount of time or forever in the case of the YTs in the OP. I didn't realize how scissor happy we are Well last day to officially join is Nov 30 so you're technically still in grace period. Straitening hair seems to be the downfall for cutting ends and length off in the beginning Shake it off and get back on this wagon.
her hair
I am going to see what my ends look like at the end of the month and go from there.
