Clipping Your Own Split Ends

Hello to all my lovely naturals!

Just because you hair is natural does not mean you don't need to clip/trim your split ends. By clipping your ends you will ensure that you will have a healthy head of hair. Now that you are natural you are using less chemicals and heat on your hair so you might not need your ends clipped every 3 months, I like to let my hair tell me if I need my ends clipped. So there are two ways that I use to tell if my ends are damaged. First I take one of my twist outs and feel it from the shaft all the way to the end, if the end feels rough then I know that I need to clip my ends. The second way is that I pay attention to the strands that shed. If I notice that 5 strands have split ends then I know it is time. You are probably thinking why don't I just go to a beautician,well there are not many beauticians that know how to do their own hair they have been taught to only do chemically relaxed African-American hair and besides no one knows my hair as well as myself. In order to clip my ends I first wash my hair and condition it then I take a piece of my hair (enough to make small twists) two part twist it and focus on the very end of my twist. Any part that looks scraggley or where the hair thins out I cut. Once I am done I put coconut oil in my hand and un-twist my hair and wear it like that for the day. Oh yeah don't forget to use only hair sheers! Good luck naturals and remember you are the best beautician that you know!



Always,

Verano
