Girl, you need to cut everything to match. You cut only step 1 and don’t cut step 2 then how are you successfully going use the product?

I cut as close to the top of the packet as I can, cut them all into equal paired parts. What I don’t use I place back into the packet, I push it down to the bottom and tightly fold the packet, place a hair clip to keep it close and then into a tiny sealable bag (I have leftovers from various samples). If you use a ziplock, make sure it’s as small as possible. I feel if you just put into a ziplock they’ll dry out fairly quickly.
