Warning: The following post is excessively self-centered and vain.
I'm growing my hair out but would like some (hopefully informed) opinions:
1. I've heard about a million times that if you get your hair trimmed regularly, it keeps the split ends down and your hair grows faster (instead of breaking off). Anyone who can disprove this-- non-trimmers who still have a lot of hair growth, for instance? Or is it true? I should probably mention that my eventual goal is to get my hair waist-length and have the ends cut to all the same length. This is, by my reckoning, about another 2 years of growing it out-- assuming it will grow, and not just split or break or whatever.
2. My current beauty regimen consists of shampooing with cheap shampoo (sometimes twice if it's been 3-4 days or my hair is really in a state of filth) and using cheap cream rinse, then patting it with a towel to get most of the water out and air drying it. I may own a blow drier but I have no idea where it might be. I don't really want to join the cult of a zillion hair products, and I have absolutely no need for any styling stuff (curlers, spray, gel, etc) but does anyone have any recommendations for other stuff I should be putting on/in my hair?
