My last trim was April 18th, 2002. It was for dead ends and she took a noticable amount off in the process while saying she was only taking off a pinch. But my hair had been growing out from a buzz since sometime last year 2001. I didn't decidedly start growing long untill around February or March of this year though. When I decided I was going to try and grow it long, I went to the hairstylist and had her trim it and neaten it up cause it was rather chopped up from growing out from an uneven buzz job. That was around the latter part of February or first of March. I believe the photo above was taken sometime shortly after having that cut done. The creation date in the picture file properties was March 12th, 2002. From there on I have been intentionally growing it long. So on April 18th under the stylist advice I went back and had dead ends trimmed. She SAID I had dead ends anyway. Not so sure myself. But then I found this board and learned that trims weren't really needed if you took good care of your hair and haven't been back for a trim since. Probably won't again either unless my hair gets real ratty. But for now it is doing O.K. PEACE, bro!
Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood your post...kind of a relief cause if you only started growing in April '02, it would mean mine was growing at an abnormally slow rate, which would be kind of upsetting to say the least. Thanks again, man.
