4 Ways to Trim Natural Hair. WP

De -


We already know the signs we need a trim. If you don't know, click here. According to Dickey, Creator of Hair Rules & Stylist to celebs such as Alicia Keys, Kelis and Michelle Obama  you should schedule a trim every three to four months.  At this time the hair shaft begins to split naturally. Regular trims maintain the shape of your style and  remove naturally splitting ends. However, I personally think that if the trim is not needed it can wait some months more. Hair  grows about  1/4 to 1/2 inch a month.   If ends are clipped regularly, you will only remove about 1/4 inch or less. Leaving you with noticeable growth and length retention. Caring for your ends properly in between trims by sealing your ends with hair butters or oils, using low manipulation styles and using satin caps for bed time can prolong the need for a trim.

Types of Hair Trims


1.  Blow Out Hair and Trim Dry -  Cut the hair when it’s straight (or at least stretch with the heat of a blow dryer). This technique is described above and highly recommended for a proper trim by many stylist. Stylist can accurately gauge full hair length and extent of split ends.


2. Clipping Curly Hair Wet - Some prefer this technique because the hair is flexible and can be stretch for trimming.  The downside is that you can’t see ends that need to be removed or the actual shape over your hair.  Simply bad for business, that’s all I have to say!!!


3.  Dusting - There are many Youtube tutorials on this technique.  The hair is plaited in two-strand twist and the ends of the twist are cut.   Not only is it impossible to see what you’re cutting but your hair will be different lengths.   This is the best way to get helmet shape hair where the hair is flat in the back and lacks movement.  Needless to say I don’t recommend it at all.


4. Deva Cut method– which is cutting your hair while it is curly ant dry. This method is for shape-styling curly/coily hair. Some believe is the best method if you always wear your hair in its natural curl pattern state.


So here they are, these are the 4 most popular methods to trim naturally curly hair.

The 9 Most Ineffective Ways To Moisturize Your Natural Hair. WP

You’ve heard it before, over and over again — moisture is everything when it comes to natural hair health. Still, many naturals struggle with keeping their curls, kinks and coils well-moisturized. Perhaps you’re guilty of one of our 9 ineffective moisturizing practices . Check it out; 1. Moisturizing dirty hair/hair that has product buildup The objective of moisturizing is to apply a water-based product that penetrates the cuticle (outer layer) of the strand and infuse the cortex (inner layer) with water. If there is too much dirt or product on your cuticle, then there’s little chance that any moisturizing product you apply will make it to the cortex. 2. Using butters or oils as moisturizers With the exception of a few oils, like coconut oil, that can penetrate the strand — oils and butters will sit on the OUTSIDE of your strand because they are SEALANTS , not moisturizers. Their purpose is to lock in moisture — not apply it. If your hair is feelin...
