Btw girl, I think I read you go to beauty school on one of your posts...not breast related but you might know the answer...I'm trying to grow my hair longer...my hair grows fairly fast...but how often should I get my dead ends trimmed and what's the minimum length I can get trimmed off for it to grow faster?
It partially depends on what you do to it. If you leave it completely alone and use only professional shampoo and conditioner and the RIGHT shampoo and conditioner for your hair... You really never do need to cut it at all.
OTOH, if you flat iron it, curl it, chemically treat it, get it colored... Or even just spend a lot of time outside...
Generally in the latter case we'd recommend a quarter to a half inch every few months. Generally when you mess with your hair or use bad shampoo's you sacrifice about one month in three.
Since the only people who really never do do anything to their OWN hair are either wearing sew-ins or a wig... Yeah.
I don't need mine cut. Like at all. Because it's always under a wig except at home. And I use only professional products on it. And never heat or chemically treat it. I don't even blow dry it, I just towel dry it cuz it's still so short that it can be just towel dried.
My hair USED to be TERRIBLE though. And I honestly don't know what did the most damage to it. Just elements because I worked in pretty harsh conditions as a grounds keep or the terrible shampoos and conditioner I was using. I certainly didn't mess around with it with heat tools and I only had it colored ONCE but it was already bad before that!
Anyway... yeah. Depends what you do to it. Most likely for most people a half inch every three months.
