Yeah you don't need to have anything drastic, just a cm or two trimmed off the ends to even up the length.
I got my sides shaved again yesterday btw, closer and further out than last week, I'd post a photo but my camera's FUBAR'd. Hairdresser did it for free since it was just a quick shave, but now I've got a clipper to do it myself next time. I'd better practise on my legs or something before attempting my head though, remembering what happened last time I cut my own hair. XD I wanna put it into a death-hawk til the top & back's long enough to ponytail, then to dreadlock.

Nothing that complicated with mine. I'm growing it extremely long.

No, they don't effect the growth of your hair, but they WILL affect the apparent length. If you don't take good care of your hair, and get rid of your split ends, your hair will break higher and higher and lose all of the growth you're gaining on the scalp end. Once the end of the hair is split, the split may continue up the strand, breaking nearer the top and causing the hair to be weak and break.

Mine used to be super long, but over the summer, I passed out at my friend's house, and her 7year old sister put gum in it, a few inches away from my scalp, so I had to get it cut short.
I'm a natural red-head. :]

I don't know, I see mine as another artistic outlet. All the hours I spend pulling, teasing, spraying and washing go towards a unique piece of 80's mockery.

Which is why I'm so often tempted to shave it off. I hate that I adhere to the standard that attractive women have long-ish hair. I don't even believe in the standard, really. Most of the women I find attractive have short hair. I wish I had the courage and confidence to just be rid of this long hair, which really just lays there weighing me down. I wish I could just shave it off and force people to see me, to look at my face without its pretty trim.

You should get a near-bald cut and dye it orange like the Eurythmics vocalist. In all seriousness, though, I tend to be more attracted to women with short and spiky hair, much like that of a young man would wear. It's just enough androgynous to be sexy, but not enough to be creepy.

I see long hair as aesthetically perfect for both men and women. I generally don't tend to like how people, either feminine or mascuilne, look with short hair.
But before the lenght of the hair, I judge the style. I feel it's a sin to waste such a beautiful corporal trait into having a mediocre hairstyle.

Long hair that hangs down is nice, but it's not something attainable with my genetics...
however, I can get it pretty HIGH... (yay afro!)
ook--right now, it's pretty crunchy though... I must hyper-condition!!
I do love other people's hair... I tend to gravitate towards people who let me play with theirs.

I like soft hair. And soft and fuzzy hair. I don't really like frizzy hair though. It makes me want to chew on it. *munch munch*

-this hair looks especially delish (and so does the boy!) I would die for hair like this.

Sometimes long hair is difficult to cope with & I sometimes wonder whether I should get mine chopped shorter. Though I guess it's at the length I should start putting it up to keep it out of the way (I get caught to lots of things).
Now that I look at it I also need to get my roots dyed. My natural colour was actually quite light compared to the shade I dye it now.

I dyed my hair today ffor the first time ever, woo! Well, I got my sister to do all the messy stuff for me, I just sat there, lmao.
It's now a kind of mid-tone pinkish red. It spikes up into a kind of two-inch death-hawk now, and I love it.
No way to post a pic atm tho. >_>

I've finally decided I'm going to get my hair re-styled similar to what Scarlet of Theatres Des Vampires has with her hair.

Update on my hair everyone! Ok, now I can get my hair pretty damn close to straight, but it introduces another problem, even though I use a fairly good conditioner, and even a de-frizzer before I straighten it, my hair still dries out and becomes frizzy and poofy as hell, while still being straight, if that makes sense. Any suggestions for what I can do to get rid of my monster poof?

So, I'm not sure if you mean poufy like "I-have-thick-hair-like-a-hay-stack" or "I've-damaged-my-hair-and-now-it-won't-lay-flat".
If it's the former, you can ask your stylist to razor-cut it. That's a technique that actually thins your hair and makes it lie flat better. It's not often used on curly hair, but if you can have it done while your hair is straight I think it would work.
If it's the latter, I would suggest a deep-conditioning masque to combat the damage. Once you've done your hair masque, you can use a shine serum on your hair after you shower to straighten it and weigh it down.

I'll be your best friend if you talk to me before you dye your hair. I'm good, I promise. And I know my shit. And I've seen too many good people's hair go bad because of a tiny little mistake.

Ancient topic >_> Anywho, I didn't see why I should start a whole new thread for a minor problem...
I have dyed my hair again and it is now a blue black with a bit of red mixed into the dye. (Eh, that's what I get for experimentation.)
The color, while still remaining dark, is bleeding purple. Is this a reaction of the red with the black? I've heard that red hair dying molocules are very small, thus more prone to bleeding out. Or is it just the brand of dye I am using?
I do wash my hair frequently (every other day); however, I use cold water to wash my hair. I also use the "color friendly" shampoos and conditioners too. Any help would be appreciated.
