Well, let's make it short: My grades are a little 'unfortunate' at the moment, and because of that my mom had found an excuse to force me to trim my hair.
My mom isn't against it that I want to let my hair grow, but she says I need to trim once in a while (like women do), now I've asked some people and read it on this board that trimming isn't that good and u should just let it grow.
What should I do? I don't think I can escape the trim since moms are nasty creatures who crawl out of the core of the earth, should I trim and go on with letting my hair grow, or just cut it short again (and lose my own self and become a clone like every other male short haired person)?
Don't cut it short! :)
Trims are just to maintain it and keep it neat however I've been growing my hair for 2 years (or something) now and never had a trim so I'd say don't trim but its up to YOU ;)
My vote is not to trim just because your mom said women do it.
Trim if you have a reason like massive split ends / damage or it's
uneven to the point of making you suicidal. Beyond that just leave
it alone. Just tell mom, "yeah I'll keep an eye on it and trim it
if it needs one". Knowing full well you have no itnetion of doing it.

It is quite simple really: Ignore the silly woman.
That's just plain and simple blackmail and ride it out if you can.

Ehem...
Sometimes a trim is necessary. Altough, in 3 and a half years I only trimmed my hair twice. I'm planning on having a third one soon tough, but done by myself (yes, stylists only break your hair, so no thank's)
You should trim only if you really really want to. If you have a single doubt, don't trim. I don't think it's something you have to think about during the process, but just when the time comes, that is, when you will be needing one. Trimming is rather a psycological thing I think... Don't trim your hair untill you don't like the state of it anymore. When you don't, have a little trim then =)
Good luck!
Maybe your mother just thinks you do need a trim. Is your hair damaged or does it have split ends or is it really uneven? A trim isn't the end of the world and could probably make your hair look better, as long as the person cutting your hair doesn't cut more than you ask.
And I don't see where the cutting it short comes in, she seems to only think you should make it neater not short.
Well since you asked my answer is NO don't trim especially if you are just starting out growing your hair.That will only set you back in achieving longhair and won't affect the overall quality of your hair.Unless you have been dying it causing damage then its best to leave it alone.

Hi
Experience makes me tell you that woman go for a trim a way too often. And often, there's no need. Or often, they cut too much...
Trim only if you feel that your hair need it. And I don't see why you would ever want to cut your hair short...You want it long, yes ?

Between your screen name (Wrathchild) and your description of "Moms", the image of your home life is just fascinating ! I really don't care what you do with your hair, but please keep the dialog coming ! HA!
