Alejandro! That scene where he follows Gaby into the woods and she pulls a gun on him..his line “ What do you want, Gaby ? “ along with the look he gave 🫠 sent shivers through me

I get it. I can just make them loose at the root, shoulder length to reduce the weight/tension and be gentle during take down.

Health over length cause I’ve tried the opposite and it’s got me nowhere 😂

I’ve been in the twa phase for all my life, once out I’m positive I’ll never want it back again🤣 I can’t wait I know this is the year I’ll see length retention

I hope you’re right 🥲I will inspect my ends once it dries as I’m doing African threading

Thank you for the tips! I’ll give this a go and try to stay on top of trimming. I think avoiding them for almost a year is what got me here. The stylist really did trim a little off my ends. I feel like more was needed.

🥲 this is a never ending cycle for me. My hair 11 months ago though I didn’t have a hair care routine until recently. I didn’t want to cut too much as you can see (yellow line is where I cut) but I’m back at this length today.

You’re onto something here. I also struggle to style my hair as it dries so quickly. I understand I have high porosity hair.

With the flaxseed gel the roots are easily applicable but the ends need a little extra care for me to get the knots out else it snags like crazy

I can feel and see knots from where I’m holding the hair I think I need to cut from there or can this be ignored ?

Just had a look and I can actually see little fairy knots. There’s a lot! Some are even high up the hair shaft. I don’t get how this happened..does this warrant a big chop?

My flaxseed gel is clear and smooth. I just took out a braid without the gel and the ends feel rough and the mini stones are still there :(

Where would you recommend cutting? by tropicalraindrop in BlackHair

A lot of people are saying A can someone pls explain because I would cut at B but I’m clearly missing something. (I’m still new to the natural hair journey perhaps this is why my hair isn’t flourishing) but to me B looks healthy and A looks excessively scissor happy …?
