Thanks GrandPrix!!!!
I washed it on Monday and I'm soooo happy I had no heat damage, I was so worried
How're you? How's your hair now?
I start with the back and bring it over to my chest on either side and trim it in a straight horizontal line to make sure it's the same length (this maintains my natural v-shape).
Then I do the front, which I can see in the mirror and pull it down towards my face and also upwards to take a good look at the state of my ends before I trim. For the middle, I rely on the mirror and pull each section outwards in the same direction to maintain an even enough look..
Does that help? I hope so.
Sounds clear enough.. Thanks! I hope I'll have the guts to snip at my own hair.
My hair is cut straight across, though. A U-shape at most since my last trim. I believe Traycee did a youtube vid on self trimming some time ago, but her hair is also V-shaped, so again, I was too chicken. I really do like the shape though.. and if this is an easy way to maintain it..
That would mean I'd have to straighten again, and I've been telling myself I would for the past 3 weeks. It's just that cowashing is so goood.
The reason I want to straighten is that my hair has become such a handful in the morning.
Washing, detangling etc. is still going great for me, but when I take out my bantu knots in the morning..
I will have this huge mass of kink and curl that is my hair (perfectly conditioned and tangle free though
) and it will take me a full 10 minutes just to pull it back into a bun or ponytail because I have to be so careful with it with the amount of ng I have now. If I hurry I'll only pull at it (breakage) and I'll make it all frizzy and mess up the set.
It's like my ng is rising up into the air (!), making it impossible for my ends to hold a good frizz free curl.
Ahh how I miss those 5 months post days. All the curly styles coming out great and you're just loving the fullness. Good times.
..I've been denying it for some time (*maybe if I DC and close my eyes long enough, it'll go awayy*), but I think I might have heat damage from my salon visit.
I've had this patch of hair that's been ridiculously loose from the start, at the crown and further to the front, but now it's turned into frizzy waves with no curl.
It starts at the roots and the waves are uniform all the way down. Somebody, please tell me it's my relaxed hair weighing it down and it'll pop once I cut?
