Anything Is Possible
I do search & destroy method (see split strand clip it) Last relaxer done salon stylist did not even ask just layered my hair again. I saw scissors next to my ear was speechless. The manager commented about me letting her cut it. Next relaxer stretch homegirl better not even think about cutting my hair.
Whenever I discover splits or L shape just know it will be cut.
I purchase my scissors from Sally's Beauty supply can't remember price.
Keeping my hair properly moisturized(ors in jar) and co-washing helps a great deal.

I don't really trim I just look for splits and cut those only. I do it once a month. I have hair cutting scissors I think I got them at Walmart. I don't know how to avoid splits. I haven't used heat in two years. I think my hair is just dry and I need to do a better job of keeping it moisturized.

i don't trim, i dust maybe about 1/8" off every 6-8 weeks.
occasionally i may do the search & destroy method. I'll more likely do that on my uneven sections. Its hard to completely avoid splits 100%...eventually u'll get them, but i try to focus more on lowering the rate in which i get them.
Baggying has helped me dramatically!
. Pre-Lchf I used to need up to 1/2"+ trimmed off everytime i went for my touchup...now all i need is 1/8" if that.

I trim every 3 months, usually a 1/2 inch or less. I don't trim my own hair I always go to a salon. I just like blunt ends.

I'm really curious if everyone follows the golden rule which is to trim their ends every 6-8weeks?
do you trim your own hair?no
how often? every other relaxer(8-10 weeks) at the most-play it by ear
what type of scissors should be used if you do it your self? n/a
how much do you take off? about 1/4-1/2 inch at most
how do you avoid split ends?
no double processing
no direct heat on my relaxed hair
rollersetting once a week
detangling once a week with a seamless comb
SEAMLESS COMBS!!!! immediate difference in amount of trim needed
products that really work for me
prepooing
using diluted shampoo
setting with a creamy leave in vs. setting lotion/foam
ceramides and collagen
being gentle
protecting my ends/keeping them moisturized
no brushing
silk scarf at night
