1. Having an overall fullness to my tresses
2. Achieving number one by cutting/trimming my ends.
You'd think someone who had shaven her head twice wouldn't have to mentally prepare to do trims. LOL!! The reason I had to prepare myself was because I wasn't sure of what my outcome would be by my cutting/trimming my hair myself when wearing my hair in twists. When I trim my ends, will I trim too much? How will my twists look? My twist-outs?
Baby steps....I had to remember to take baby steps.

The second image (above) was taken only a month after the top image. Notice how the lower half looks fuller compared to the pic on top. After viewing the second image, I immediately realized that trimming my ends was a GOOD thing. I noticed that my hair actually retained the length from my hair's growth. So, I trimmed a bit more hair than I did the previous month and ended up with the following new set of twists below.
Notice above that I still have some straight pieces on my top twists. They had to go and off they went. I performed another trim and below was my new twist-out. I was IN LOVE!
Although it took several trims, I finally achieved my uniformed look and I was on my way!
The trim really made a difference, it looks like a completely different head of hair when compared to your prior twists out pictures.
ReplyDeleteI discovered the same thing when I was transitioning a while back.
Good Morning ALX! Yes, the trimming did make a difference. I understood from studying the top picture that trimming my hair didn't make it grow faster, I was able to see my growth after my trim. I realized that although my hair was growing, my ends were damaged, thus breakage was robbing me of the growth I had achieved. Once all of the damaged ends were removed, I actually saw ny hair's growth!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a young girl, my mother would always trim my ends on the night of a full moon and I had hair down to my mid back as a little girl. Not sure if trimming on the night of a full moon made any difference, but having a set time to trim my ends kept my ends healthy and free from split ends and breakage.
