Are you still transitioning?
Maybe you should give your hair a rest. Have you asked your SO what he thinks about you cutting your hair?
When I first started transitioning, I had the scissors in my hand trimming at least twice per month. I still cut often but maybe once per month now. I was so eager to be natural but I had to make sure I was ready and make sure it wasn't too drastic for DH.
Now I set my mark at APL, I trim my hair at or slightly above APL all the time. I am tempted to cut my hair to SL every week so maybe I am not helping much. Sorry and Good luck.

That's a good idea. Honestly, I may touch it up. I can get my hair straight easily, but wash days are soooo long and when I plan to do a curly style like a braid out I get so frustrated that I straighten it.. I haven't decided yet on the touch up. Actually, my SO doesn't care if I go natural or relax. He just hates fake hair and likes long hair.
He doesn't even like when I trim it
But when we met my hair was SL and he has seen the good, bad, and the ugly (we have known each other 8 years)Yup, I have trimmed about 2x a month on average as well for the same reasons. But my trims are not "salon" trims/massive cuttage.

Did you consider braiding it up for a bit?
I wanted to chop off my hair and just be done with my transition (will be 2 years as of 12/30/2009). Instead, I decided to just not deal with it. I am trying to get back to BSL but with my natural hair.
I started with a cornrow style for 3 weeks (using extensions) and am now in curly two strand twists until January. My plan is to have new twists put in at least 2 more times through the Spring with length checks done in between.

Nevermind, I did not see that your SO hates fake hair.
DH was like that too, about wigs. He got over it though and I have about 9 wigs. lol lol

That's a good idea. I would have to get it done at the salon though. Me braiding my hair, well all this NG, is a sad, sad sight.
Funny thing is, I have never in my life had braids besides cornrows. I'd be itching to take out some singles lol

any pictures?
Say whaaaa? I loved your hair!I'm sure it's still gorgeous though.
Aww thanks! It still has some length to it. It's really full and bouncy! I actually like my hair more at this length than BSL LOL Im having camera trouble so I'll probably post pics tomorrow or so.
I'm glad I did it tho. I was getting obsessed with my hair and putting it thru treatment after treatment and going crazy over it. I was on here so much that it was kinda unhealthy lol So this kinda taught me meh, it's just hair!!! I am very happy with how my hair is!
