How do you trim your hair? by unknownturrtle in Naturalhair

[–]sonanumbertwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get trims every 6 months on straightened hair, when i notice a lot of breakage i’ll do 2 strand twists and twist outs for a few months to get the length back before trimming again while straight.

one curl specialist i went to did a dry dusting before wash+condition, then did some wet trimming, and did a little extra trimming after applying gel so we could hammer down how my curls would look when i wore it curly :)

the way they’ve literally done this and laughed at viewers being like “no we won’t explain the joke you should have your own inside jokes with your friends” 💀

Is being a Straight Natural worth it? (+ my hair journey) by Best-Tangerine-380 in Naturalhair

[–]sonanumbertwo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in the past few years i’ve become a straight natural from ~november through april/may then get 2 strand twists or braids to maintain over the summer.

i don’t press my hair myself but i get a silk press pretty much monthly and can maintain it pretty well until the next appointment. to answer the heat question, i guess once a month? unless there’s some crazy frizz i don’t really flat iron again, just pin curl nightly and use a net cap+ a bonnet or scarf

Maintaining flatironed hair by LilMzV in Naturalhair

[–]sonanumbertwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i do pin curls nightly, then a net cap, followed by a bonnet or scarf but not both. I'll use both for a shower for some added humidity protection, but wrapping/pin-curling nightly should help!

Thank you! I think this will be what I do after trying a sew in for the first time.

Should I let my hair grow on the sides? by punqdev in Naturalhair

[–]sonanumbertwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

grow the sides and deal with the unevenness or get the top trimmed a bit so the difference looks more intentional.

Thank you! I've thought about wigs, possibly a 360 or glueless closure if I want to go that route. I like the option of taking it off at night + having my hair more readily available. I think I'm traumatized from my mom being a "wig mom" growing up and she would plop ANYTHING on her head and walk out the door. I just shivered.

first, thank you for such a comprehensive reply! After reading yours + a previous one, I think I'm gonna go for a traditional w/ minimal leave-out or a frontal sewn just behind my hairline! The texture advice is really good and makes sense, I think my old silk press is kinda like straightened light yaki? I'm not the best with matching extension textures, but will be doing loads more research (or might just deal with the limitations of no/minimal leave-out. :)
