How often do you trim?

[CharUK]

And what does 'dusting' your ends mean?

 

[Erica78]

I do a small self trim whenever I have an *attack of the little white balls* on the end of my strands. I get a regular trim at the stylist about once every 4 months (trying to make it longer by babying them).

A dusting is when you have the smallest amount of hair trimmed off of your ends. It looks like a small amount of hair on the floor...instead of a pile.

I just get my ends trim after each relaxer sometimes I dont need a trim.

'Dusting' means looking for and cutting individual hairs that are split. The last time I had a trim was back in December and I'm about to get another next month. In between those times I 'dusted' my hair.

Everytime I relax which is once every 8 weeks.

 

[CharUK]

OK, because I get an 0.5/1 inch 'trimmed' off at each touch up (usually 6 weekly) and I think this is going to slow down any length i'm trying to achieve.

I didn't realise some people trimmed their hair every now and again.

Interesting.

I get a trim every 3 months

I trim as needed. No particular schedule.

 

[Karonica]

I trim very frequently now, definitely no longer than 3 months.

The last time I trimmed was May 10, 2004 because my hair was really uneven. Before then, I would trim about 2-3 times a year! But now I'm taking up the "no trim challenge", so It'll probably be years before I trim again.

I do not know what dusting is.

I micro trim about every 3 or 4 months basically when it is 'that time' you just know when. My hair will start knotting.

Trim on a full moon it makes your hair grow faster

I used to only trim when I got my relaxer (which has been about every 19 weeks) but that has to stop and I will have to do them myself. My stylist had the nerve to trim 'just because' never once actually looking at the ends to see if they needed a trim, THEN cut my hair uneven. Noticibly UNEVEN UGH!

 

[katie]

I trim every time I relax my hair which can be every 7 or 8 weeks

 

[queenofmean68]

I trim after every relaxer--usually every 6 weeks or as needed. I didn't need a trim after my last relaxer 4 weeks ago.

 

[chocolate01]

I trim every 3-4 months

 

[northernbelle]

I now recieve a trim every other relaxer touch up. My ends are pretty healthy, and this schedule allows for some fairly significant hair growth.

My former stylist - the one to whom I would travel to CT - crazy I know - would shear me at every touch up. So, whatever growth I had attained would go virtually unnoticed.

Im shooting for once a year seeing that I never use heat or comb my hair very often.

 

[jrw]

Never

 

[Devi]

I trim very rarely and I don't do it at regular intervals. the last time that I trimmed my hair was last year around October.

Although I did even up my hair in the back last time I rollerset it, but I don't consider that a "real trim" because I only did it for some symmetry... not because the ends were split.

 

[inthepink]

When I was fully relaxed, I got my hair trimmed whenever I got my touch-ups which was every 2 months/10 weeks. I was using heat at least weekly and so I would get plenty of split ends. I liked my hair to be even and healthy looking so I was ok with getting trims.

Now that I'm transitioning, I hardly ever use heat and I haven't trimmed for 5 months. I will probably trim in the next few weeks to keep my hair even.

 

[Isis]

I don't trim.

Same here, I haven't had a trim since last July when my ends became fried and split badly from flat ironing once a week; thankfully I still haven't discovered any more split ends
