How to Trim Your Own Split Ends

If you go to a licensed hair stylist regularly, he or she is probably going to tell you no, you shouldn’t trim or cut your own hair. That’s often because they want to keep you coming back to the salon, but in fairness, they are trained with the right tools and techniques to trim your hair appropriately. 

But life has changed for all of us with presence of COVID-19 and many salons were closed for a long time. They’ve begun reopening with limitations, but folks are rightfully concerned about heading back to the shop. But just as you may go out to eat, it’s really helpful to know how to cook to feed yourself. Same with trimming your hair; it’s a helpful skill to have.

When I can’t make it to the salon, I trim my hair myself. Here’s how I go about it:

  1. After using Naturalicious Step 2 to help prepare my hair as a heat protectant, I blow dry my hair out.

  2. I then use a flat-iron set to a medium setting to straighten my hair, so that I can truly see which ends are split and how high it goes. Unless you’re skilled in cutting curly hair (and most people aren’t) you’ll end up cutting off “good” hair thinking that it’s split, when really it’s just curled up at the ends.

  3. I use good hair shears, not regular scissors that you can get from any old store; if you’re going to trim your hair, invest in a nice pair of shears to ensure sharp clean cuts.

  4. In front of the mirror, I section my hair into medium-sized manageable sections; taking one section at a time and being honest about where those split ends are, I do my best to cut each section in as few snips as possible to try to maintain consistent length removal.
  • If you’ve been caring for your hair by washing, conditioning, moisturizing and doing your hair treatments regularly, your split ends shouldn’t be crazy and you shouldn’t have to cut a ton

  • The fronts and sides of the hair are pretty easy, but the back-middle part is more challenging. I usually bring a section of hair straight up above the top of my head so that I can clearly see the ends in the mirror, and I clip any damage off.

Because I wear my hair curly most days, I’m not a stickler when it comes to making sure that my hair is completely even everywhere although I do my best to make sure it doesn’t look crazy.

Trimming your hair, is in the same boat as straightening your hair. We’re learning how to do both in the Repair Your Hair Challenge. So, if you haven’t joined the challenge and you’re not comfortable with the process, it’s probably best to let a professional take care of it. 

But for my natural curlfriends who like to live out loud on the wild side, you should feel empowered to take full control of your hair care and snip those ends. We all know that the look of a beautiful style can be ruined by raggedy split ends. So, go ahead and freshen up that do and don’t be afraid to let that damaged hair go. The longer you hang on to those frayed inches, the more inches you’re going to lose when it’s time to trim. Do yourself a favor and Cut. It. Out.

    It all started with a seemingly golden opportunity – a high-yield Bitcoin investment. I invested in a cryptocurrency startup that looked promising, but I never imagined it would turn into a nightmare. The platform — slick, well-marketed, and with testimonials from seemingly legitimate investors — promised me a 200% return in two weeks. I invested over 7 Bitcoins, worth nearly $500,000 at the time.  The platform’s customer support became elusive, and eventually the platform disappeared. No access, no updates, no sign of the team – just silence, and my heart sank. I had been scammed. I wasn’t alone. across the country and even internationally, victims of the same scam were reporting similar experiences. Fake trading dashboards, forged gains, withdrawal delays, and ultimately, total disappearance. It was a textbook crypto scam—decentralized, anonymous, and nearly impossible to trace, It was a classic crypto scam – decentralized, anonymous, and virtually untraceable, until I discovered Dexdert Net Pro Recovery. Unlike typical recovery agencies that rely on outdated tracing methods or cold legal tactics, Dexdert Net Pro combines advanced blockchain forensics with cyber intelligence and direct collaboration with cryptocurrency exchanges and law enforcement around the world. To recover stolen digital assets — even in the darkest corners of blockchain, when I reached out, the team at Dexdert started with forensic blockchain tracing, uncovering the maze of mixing services, private wallets, and overseas exchanges used to launder stolen BTC. What set them apart was their real-time AI-driven tracing tool that can follow the most obscure trails on multiple chains. Dexdert tracked my stolen BTC through decentralized mixers and shell accounts and identified a batch of BTC that had recently been converted and stored in dormant wallets connected to an unregulated exchange in Eastern Europe. Dexdert successfully recovered my 7 BTC, worth $500,000  after proving its illicit origin -Today, I am an active advocate for proactive recovery services. Without Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, I would have lost everything. Not only did they track down my Bitcoins, they also busted the entire scam network. If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up – contact a professional like Dexdert Net Pro Recovery before the trial runs out.
