I try to google some hair images of where I think I'm at and where I want to go (I'm growing it out) and then some pics of the in-between. It helps my stylist and I communicate a little better and she comes up with a great solution.
me too. i just got to the point where i felt like it was long and to the level I wanted, and this weekend I have a highlight and cut appointment. I'm going to ask her if she thinks it needs a trim or if I can squeak by another couple of weeks (i'll be back and paying for a cut either way, so hopefully she's honest lol).
