Grow my hair out so that its healthy!

im getting a trim today.
why am i so damn prone to split ends?
grr its so annoying. i do everything right, and somehow still end up with a hay bail on top of my head. =[

i have noticed that its getting a bit longer, i am in desperate need of a trim though…the ends are getting pretty bad. other than that, its smooth, and shiny and pretty! =]

it seems to be longer. i got it trimmed about a month ago, and i made a note to get it trimmed again at the beginning of december.
i have a coupon for 20% off at my favorite salon, so ill use it then =]
now the problem is the color..maybe ill just keep up with the roots..thats not so bad, except i have some hilights going on, and im afraid it will look dumb…
and also i dont wanna fry the new hair growing in.
eh, ill figure it out. i can always get it stripped…

i think im doing well. ive been taking care of it, and it seems to be heathier.
ill just have to wait it out now, and keep being nice to my hair =]

last night when i took my shower, i combed my hair out before jumping in. i then shampooed ONLY my scalp, and then used Paul mitchell super-charged conditioner. i left it on my hair while i did the rest of my showering, then washed it out.
after i got out of the shower, i used a wide-toothed comb to de-tangle. then threw some leave in conditioner on the ends.
i slept with it down because usually i throw it in a messy bun, and go to bed, but i didnt want to cause breakage with the straggly twisting.
i think this may be my new daily rountine to keep my hair nice and healthy so it will grow.
i would also like to go pick up some fish oil capsules to keep it shiny!

I cut 8 inches of hair off in may. I miss it so much! ive been trying to take really good care of it. using hot oil treatments once a week. but my problem is, i cant resist dying it!
so. heres my plan. no hair color. no straightener.
