How often is everyone dusting/trimming your ends?

[NJoy]

I dusted using my new split-ender on 3/20 and I'm already planning to use it again around the same time this month. The amount it took off was so small that I think it's worth it just to make sure the I have good ends. I don't know that I need it because my ends looked great last month and I've been baggying since but, just in case it missed any. I just want to make sure that I have super duper healthy ends. I'm considering dusting monthly. Anyone think this is too much? How often are you dusting/trimming?

I just did a light trim last weekend. Maybe 1/4 of an inch. My previous trim was in late October of last year. I had been keeping my hair in cornrows under wigs so my ends were in tip top shape. I think monthly dusting would be ok if you are a regular heat user. I'm planning to trim every 10-12 weeks when I touch up my relaxer.

I have been doing s&d but I'm planning on getting a trim by the end of the month.

I do s&d whenever I think about it (which is usually once a month) and an all around small trim every 6 months.

I love the splitender! I do one-two passes with it after my relaxers every 12 weeks. I airdry and no heat styles so my ends do not get abused. I think 1 pass every 4-6 weeks is reasonable since it only removes 1/8 to 1/4 inch with each pass. But you may not need it if you are protective styling.

I haven't had a trim since I BC'd, which is 1.5 years ago.
I can't do the s&d..it will take me a week.

Do y'all check every strand?

That is the one I have. I got it from Amazon and love it! My ends were getting all tangled and breaking. After using it my ends don't snag onto everything and breakage has ceased.

Yep. That's the one I have.

I probably don't need it because my ends are rarely exposed. I think I just want to use the split-ender again. Is there anything more beautiful than silky smooth ends? I want to use it just..in...case I missed any last month. OR...maybe I broke a few hairs over the last month. I'd hate for those ends to start splitting. Nah. I just want to have silky smooth hair and healthy ends. I'm looking at it as preventative maintenance. I did 3 passes and noticed no length change. Yeah. Every 4-6 weeks is reasonable. (I feel a new obsession brewing. erplexed)

I trim every 6 months, right before my birthday and again right around Christmas.

Can the Split Ender be used on unstraightened natural hair?

No way was I prepared to even attempt to check every strand. I don't even think it's possible. That's what inspired me to try the split-ender. Maybe I can check the front but, my hair is layered. There's no way I could do justice in the back.

I'm only trimming this year every 6 mos. last year I trimmed, 5x

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

3x a year after each relaxer

 

[nymane]

Trim once a year and I dust every 4 months
