yeah.

hairdressers are funny creatures...

they reccomend that you not wash your hair more than you need to. typically they say that once a week is optimal though maybe twice a week if you have an oily scalp.

but they typically wash and heat-style their hair everyday.

i guess thats how come they say 'trims every 4-6 weeks'. if you heat-style your hair frequently i would guess that you should indeed do that to help prevent split ends and the like.

i'll get mine trimmed more regularly now...

i don't mind if it grow a little more slowly, so long as it doesn't look terrible while its growing, however :-)
