[@JM-qg9bo]

I agree the twist trim is better. I trimmed my ends this past Sunday and used the second method. I already notice less shredding, but when I moisturize and retwist tonight I'll get any scragglers I missed using the second method. Thanks sis👍

[@nca4794]

Twists look gorgeous... Like little decorative dreads. 😍

I'm so glad this video is helpful! x

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

You are the truth. The most honest video regarding trims I've seem. Thank you for being so transparent. Our hair type is similar and I have been waiting on someone with thick hair like mine

[@TalianaRietten]

I prefer the second method when cutting my hair. I able to see the damage better as well as maintain my shape

[@ramoyarichardson5823]

I agree that's the way I trimmed mine also and I blow it out for better visual of what needs to be cut.

[@RobertaC85]

Watching as I deep condition, and now realizing I need to go ahead and trim my hair also. I don't remember how long it's been since I trimmed my hair 🤔 and it definitely shows. And yes I'm totally rocking those twist too when I'm done with my trim!

[@MLJones]

A video I never knew I needed!!! My 14 yr old daughter and I just recently both cut our 8years & 2 years locs respectively. Well I cut mine (which means my hair length which is now a TWA is all over the place) while my daughter combed out her locs and her hair DEFINITELY looks like yours did before trimming! So we are definitely going to follow your method to trim her hair. Also thank you for enforcing the need for a proper hair scissor, cause your girl was about to get the scissors straight out of the kitchen! 😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JennJackson]

MJ Jones lmaooo omg this video came RIGHT ON TIME then! Yessss hair care make me happy! Happy trimming ❤️❤️

[@SuperWoman_215]

I trimmed my ends, and my hair was nice and springy! Bye-bye, split ends! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@heyyashleyyy2669]

I only like to trim my hair when it’s in mini twists. I don’t trust myself to do it when my hair is loose LMAO. The only other time is when I get a silk press and let the stylist do it.

[@JennJackson]

I don’t remember the last time I had someone else trim my hair... does the barber count? 😅

[@heyyashleyyy2669]

Jenn Jackson of course haha

[@The_Owl_23]

Thank you, you confirmed all the research I’ve been doing about the importance of hair trimming. I’ve just recently started getting serious about my natural hair care journey and I needed a trim bad. I did it myself using your 1st and 2nd method and let me tell you, I’m noticing a positive difference with my hair. I’m now a search and destroyer and it honestly helps my hair look and feel better and I believe I’m retaining more length since the trim! Thanks again!🙏🏾💚💫

[@naicaj5124]

I made the mistake of trimming my hair loose and not in twists for the first time in May, and now my hair is so uneven!

[@eftg3450]

I did the same thing, my right side is shorter than the left side,hope they grow out and Il even them out some day..so sad..but oh well we learn from our mistakes

[@stashia3647]

Yea I did the same I went from shoulder length to ear length while the rest of my hair was past my shoulders 😂 but I learned trimming in twists works better for me compared to trimming it loose

[@miniminott48]

First, let me say you have beautiful, healthy hair. I love the style and wish my twists looked as good as yours but I have low to medium density hair so....I trim my hair every 4 months since big chopping at the end of March 2019. My hair only grows an average of 4 inches per year and I willingly trim at least an inch to an inch and a half in total within a year. I also cut knots that are too complicated to unravel. My hair is in the 7 to 8 inch range at this point and I can't wait to attain your length.

[@lesliew.7804]

Hey hey! So I have much longer hair and also have fine low density hair. Stay the course beloved, it’s coming. Also, even though they won’t look as juicy, I like trying some medium sized loose twists and letting them puff up a little to look like I have denser twists. It’s a little more fuzzy looking but still cute.

[@teejack8108]

I live in a true 4-season country. Therefore, I trim my ends at the beginning of each season. If I don't follow this rule, I would trim my ends more often than necessary.

[@queenmaahes]

About to bleach and dye my hair again since it’s a new year “new outlook” lol. Definitely going to trim after I’m done with the process and I loved the tips. Twists are a great way to trim, but if your hair gets somewhat hidden inside of the twist, it’s a little hard to really get all the split ends, since you’re only paying attention to the ends able to reach the bottom of the twists and actually sticking out. Thx for the video queen!

[@JennJackson]

I agree with you. To keep it simple, I just trim regularly and all it a day #lazynatural lol

[@summerblairh]

You are gorgeous!!! And that smile 🤩 this was extremely thorough and helpful. I just trimmed mine the other day and am chilling in my twists like you in this video, lol! Thank you!

[@sipokazipangwa3418]

[@cassidamorris8042]

Yes just wanted to thank you for the video the tutorial it was very helpful for me it also helped me to identify the different types of split ends which I knew nothing about previously. One thing I know is when your arms with information you can do a better s taking care of her own hair p After many years raising a family I realized I was in a state of self neglect. This video was very inspiring. Thank you very much I look forward to seeing others and learning self-care

[@dellpickles8303]

This is exactly how I maintain my ends between salon trims. Really helps to keep from cutting too much off!

The ONLY and BEST trimming ends for natural hair video on KZbin

[@DMMA0726]

Weird but it means a lot to see someone with hair the same length as mine. A lot of the natural community on KZbin (that's prominent) seems to have either 3C/4A hair, or its just so long that it gets really discouraging. Nice to see someone with the same length as me that I can follow its growth.

[@noobe81]

Thank you for the video, now I know why there's hair all over the place after combing my hair. Definitely going to trim it

[@R_bird117]

That advice was needed- trim according to your hair. Cause I was doing the y months regimen, and here I am puzzled why I have thinning ends but not as many split ends. Def a thumbs up for the hairstyle before the advice. 😜

I twist my hair and rod it at the ends and it will last all week. I am noticing the knots at the ends so after watching this I'm thinking it's time for a trim. So thank you for this video. Going out tomorrow to invest in shears!

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm living outside of my home country, and have not had a trim in almost a year. I'm very skeptical about letting someone new do my hair. Especially with Covid lurking, going to a salon isn't first choice! I'm going to try method 1 on next wash day.. God bless me😔

I don't have 4c hair but it does shrink massively so the twist method for trimming is going to be SO so helpful! Haven't trimmed in a long long time because I was slacking on taking care of my hair because stress and life. Detangling right now lasts all of 30 seconds before my ends are matted again, and lordt the BREAKAGE, but I'm excited to be back on that good hair care routine! Buying some new scissors tomorrow and let's do this 😎 Thank you so much for this helpful video! Some really good tips and tricks. Also those twists are a LOOK on you, absolutely gorgeous!

[@kamenecole1103]

So glad I've found your channel.. This is by far the most helpful way for me to clip my raggedy ends...

[@kittykatsnitsnat]

If you feel like the extent of split ends you have is overwhelming to cut right now, just baby yourself into it by cutting off just a teeny, comfortable amount this session. And then, in a couple weeks or so, you can cut off another small, comfortable amount. This could help lessen the shock of a stark cut all at once, you know? Just chip away at it.

[@samiamserenity]

MUCH needed video... with the quarantine (and even with it being a lil more relaxed now in some places) I'm not comfortable bein up in somebody's hair chair at a salon, but I know I am loooooooong overdue for a trim. I'm ok with whatever has to go, because when your hair is in a healthy state IT WILL GROW BACK ! Raggedy ends are not cute and take away from length retention and a potentially super-cute hairstyle looking its best. Thanks a bunch for this one Jen ! #letthemgo it's gonna be ok 👌🏾
