Trim/dust/cut Check In

[Prettymetty]

When was your last trim or cut? How much did you take off?

When do you plan on trimming again?

Hopefully we can keep up with our trim schedules and maintain thick healthy ends as a result.

 

[Prettymetty]

My last trim was Tuesday May 12 around 9pm. I trimmed about an inch.

My plan is to trim again in July or August and keep my hemline thick as my hair grows. I can't deal with struggly ends anymore

I use the Morrocco Method to coordinate the best time to trim my ends

Very interesting. Thx for the post.

I trimmed some rather rough ends on February 7th, I think. I don't have another trim scheduled.

There's a video here where the 'technique' and 'elements' are explained: http://antiagingpress.org/fabulous-hair-anthony-morroccos-2014-lunar-hair-cutting-chart.html/

Yes. The numbers are dates during each specific month.

I like the chart on his site, seems less complicated (not following it though).

Last trim was 4/19. I'll be dusting again in July.

 

[Shanzlegendary]

Yes the chart on his site is much easier to understand

 

[Prettymetty]

I like the format on his site as well, but I hate entering my email address each time...

It wasn't like that in previous years

My last trim was in April, somewhere between the 16th and the 18th. Not sure the exact date. I took off 1/2"

I plan on trimming again in June on either the 17th or the 18th. Hopefully I can get away with trimming only 1/4".

 

[Realhairdontcare]

April 17th I took off about an inch I plan to trim again mid august I will only take a lil bit off.

 

[prettybyrd]

My last trim was some time in January. I need to plan a trim some time soon. My ends are getting a little raggedy.

 

[Prettymetty]

Thinking back to my relaxed days I retained a lot of length doing trims every other month. I would relax (at the salon) and then do a self trim afterwards every 8-10 weeks. My kinda hair wasn't meant for long stretches

I gave myself a trim in march.

I used my Split Ender on March 20th. That about 8 weeks ago and my ends look pretty good. Before that it was Feb 16th (a diff of
About 5 weeks). And before that I took off 1 1/2 inches on Jan 20th (about 6 weeks).

My next trim will be in a few weeks when do my texturizer TU. I can really see the diff in my hair from that initial cut. My ends look great and I'm finally getting rid of those bone straight ends

 

[naturalmanenyc]

I had a trim on March 17...more like a dusting. I will get another trim around May 23, probably 1 inch.

 

[trclemons]

My last trim was when I BC'd in December '2014. I will trim again next month.

 

[discodumpling]

My last trim was April 21st...i'm due for another one anyday now. I'm trimming away color that seems never ending!

 

[Lanea87]

Nov 16, 2014 (6 months) was my last cut, I am due for one any day now.

I will plan for my cut June 17-18 (Summer Solstice, Rootwork)

Have you noticed a growth spurt after your lunar trims?

 

[DarkJoy]

Last full trim of an inch was Dec. seek and destroy every 2 - 3 weeks. I well seek and destroy this week and determine if I need another dusting or trim.

 

[trclemons]

My last trim was when I BC'd in December '2014. I will trim again next month.

UPDATE: I washed my hair this weekend and my ends were raggedy. I trimmed about 1.5 inches and I probably need to trim another 1.5 inches, which I will do next month. I just don't understand why my ends were so bad when I keep my hair moisturized and in a protective style. This is extremely frustrating.

Do you get a lot of ssk?

 

[twolala]

[fifigirl]

my last trim was May 5th.....i took off about half an each as my ends looked scraggy......

 

[trclemons]

Do you get a lot of ssk?

No, I usually don't get a lot of them, but I had quite a few this time. What should I do to minimize them?

 

[krissyhair]

I had a trim December 30, 2014.

I'm getting another this week.

Keep your hair stretched, shampoo in sections (or braids) and always detangle from the ends on up to prevent new knots.

Have you noticed a growth spurt after your lunar trims?

I use to do these trims years ago when I was relaxed and I did have awesome growth. I will try it now since I am natural and see how that goes!
