I'm tempted to trim the back of my hair. It gets really wild sometimes and i feel my overall hair would look a lot more kept if i did. Any advice?
And when it grows back to where it is now, it will be exactly the same. You will just be perpetuating the awkward stage. Looking at your pic, you've got nice length back there. I'd suggest you leave it alone. Eventually, the weight of your hair will cause it to hang straighter, and it will look more 'kept'. A lot of folks have to fight the tempation, "to trim or not to trim?" as they go through the awkward stage. All trimming will do is line the pockets of the salons and impede your progress. If you want it long, the only way to acheive that is by staying away from trims. In several months, with a few inches added, you will be glad that you were able to resist the urge to trim.

Hi there,
As Carol says resist the urge to trim and just keep growing it out and in a few months I'm sure you will be amazed by the difference. The awkward stage is always the worst.
Hang in there.

Cool, you guys have been most helpful. Growing your hair out is about patience and resisting the urge to cut, I'm gonna hold myself to it.
John, Carol and Justin are right. This is the part of your hairs growth where you need to put up with the wildness for a bit and let your hair grow with no boundaries. One thing I can promise you mate, is that your hair will be bloody amazing when it gets longer.
Keep going and good luck.

i went to school for hair myself a while so in my case if i had to i know how to trim my own hair/ from the pic your hair doesn't look wild, seems though with out trims it grows indefinately / a little goes along way if you do a i/2 in trim will feel like a lot better/ more manageable
I've made the mistake of trimming before. Don't do it. Your hair looks great. The curls does add to the style. DO NOT TRIM.

Are you trying for length or where you are currently at?
If you are going for longer then I would leave it alone.
But in the end its all up to you.
