I thought your hair was still damp!! It looks so moisturized. LOVE.

Her hair looks so moisturized 😍

Your Hair looks so Healthy.. #Beautiful😍

Yesss....this is a good example of a trim! Please go on tour across the United States and show all beautician/salons what a true TRIM means to customers. How many of us have gone to a salon for a trim and lost inches?? Ugghh!

girl aint no split ends in your hair, thanks for the vid though😄, healthy hair self

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you have helped so many of us naturals. There's been a lot of negative natural hair RU-vidrs popping up thinking they know everything and spewing a lot of hate and negativity. I appreciate your hard work and efforts, I've been natural for 2 1/2 years only because of you, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!!

Ayyyyee!! Sup Guys! Had to sneak this requested video in there for yall! I hope it helps!! See you in the comments! XOXO!! 😘❤️

*fine tooth comb

I cut my hair (for the first time) while watching this video and it actually came out great 🙌 no one could tell I lost any length and my hair feels a lot smoother. You're doing great things here 😂🙌

Great vid! It's good to see a trimming video where the hair isn't blown straight.

I haven’t trimmed my hair in more than a year and my ends have been looking sooooo TRASH! So I watched this tutorial, bought hair shears and I went to work! My hair turned out pretty well! It has this really cute shape that I didn’t even know I was making lmaoo! I am lucky it turned out so cute! I had to cut like 1.5 inches off though because the split ends were no joke. Imma thinking of this as a fresh start and I’m imma start taking better care of my hair now.

i needed this bc i’m about to take out my braids and try my first wash n go!! wish me luck lol😅❤️

Watching this today because we are quarantined and I took my twists out. Gonna have to clip my own ends. LOL

I don't even have hair but I'm still watching!💕💕💕💕

You’re the one who first taught me how to trim my hair when I went natural 3 years ago! The video is still very much relevant and helpful even though it’s a bit old. Love you whit!!!

This video is right on time! I need a trim...badly!

Um I need to know how the Bantu knot set came out🧐

Those bantu knots looked really pretty!

I love that your videos are so original. I don't feel like you're spoon feeding me other people's videos in a slightly different way. You are amazing! Keep up the amazing work!!

I can't tell based on the texture i usually just go based on where my hair starts to thin in comparison to the hair thats more full when i go down the length of my hair.

Me: Man, I need a trim, but I wish I could do it properly... Naptural85: *uploads hair trimming tutorial* Me: 🙌

I watched this video multiple times and I finally got the courage to do this to today. I just wanted to say THANK U! THANK U! THANK U!!! My family made me feel like it was the dumbest decision ever to take scissors to my own hair. But your patience in every video makes me feel like anything is possible when it comes to this natuarl hair of mines... THANK YOU SO MUCH...

OMG thank you Whitney for posting this! I have only read the title. These past few days I have been searching for videos on how to trim my hair I know you won’t disappoint thank you! ❤️

I just did a trim last week 😩. I should’ve waited! This is almost exactly what I did, so I thank you for this video, you gave me confidence in my trim. 😘

Your hair looks so healthy and vibrant! I’m so jealous! I’ve always had fine hair, but at my age (42) and having chronic anemia throughout my teenage and adult life, acquiring a healthy, full head of hair has always been a struggle for me. I stopped relaxing my hair in December 2006 hoping that this would help improve the health of my hair. However, it seemed that regardless of all my efforts to “care” for my hair, my hair remained thin, lifeless, continually breaking off, having a shocking amount of hair coming out from the roots with every comb-through, and remained completely unmanageable. My hair couldn't/can’t even hold a curl. There were times when I simply stopped caring about my hair because it was so frustrating and depressing; I just covered it up with a scarf. I wasted a lot of money trying to “fix” my hair issues. But, I am not one to give up. I believe there is a chance for me and my hair. I’m still working on trying to improve the health of my hair with help from informative sites like yours. I don’t have the money to get professional hair care, so I must do it myself. We all know that hair trimming is important for healthy hair, and that cutting/trimming your own hair can be extremely stressful and scary! Which is why I am so thankful that you have provided this video. It is a big help. Thank you!

Even left in the Bantu knots it looks cute xx,

So look forward to your posts. They’re so useful to me. Thank you so much for keeping it so real and being yourself 💕

I went to cosmetology school way back but you have trained me on how to train natural hair so thank you I do this for my daughter at the end of every summer. I do angle my fingers so that her bottom layers are a good bit longer than the top ones it makes her twists easer to do and for them to stay even without rubber bands it also adds a cute shape to her wash and go ( which I hardly ever do BC she is an active 7 yr old)

Who is here 2024?

You don’t know how perfect timing this video is!!!!!!!!! Thanks

This hairstylists are never getting my money again. I'm learning everything during quarantine😂

Thank you for all of your hard work in helping people with natural hair. One of the things I like about you the most is your professionalism and your positivity. It is a pleasure to watch you, as your videos are very informative. I recently bought your line of products "Melanin" and I can see that it's a good move for me. Its great that you put in the time (6 years) to perfect the product and that means a lot. I started using it and I'm very happy with the results I'm getting from all the healthy ingredients. Thanks for all your hard work and I will definitely share this with all my family and friends 😊. Since I haven't been to a salon since before the pandemic started, I am really due for a hair trim but still don't want to go to a salon. So I watched your video on trimming natural hair and now I am less nervous to try it, so thanks for that lol 😆.

when you don't know what else to watch and @naptural85 comes thru with some knowledge yasss #hairguru ❤❤❤

Hairstylist tip: Use a piece of the first cut section as a guide so you don't have to guess or keep in mind how much you need to cut as you continue because you can see it. Just make sure the section isn't too thick or you may accidentally cut into your guide.

The fact that I JUST trimmed my hair yesterday. It was much needed and my hair now feels amazing and I use pretty much the same method as you

This comes right on time! I need to do a trim sometime soon myself. Thanks for sharing as always, Whitney. Your hair looks luscious & super healthy by the way!

Thank you so much for this demo. I followed your tips and trimmed my hair yesterday. Today my hair looks so good, I'm shocked. I usually get a salon cut at Deva Chan about once every eight months, but after another vlogger pointed out that a cut is to shape your style but not really going in and getting all the ends I realized I really needed to address that issue. I trimmed while damp with leave-in conditioner, which was a little messy, but it was very easy with your instructions. Next time, in about two months, I'll try trimming before I apply the leave-in for less mess. :-)

I was just binge watching all of your old videos. You must have read my mind.

I just washed my hair today. This video reminded me that I soon need a trim. Thanks Whitney, your hair is looking beautiful & healthy as always! 😍😘💖💝

Hi Whit! This was a great update.. I have used one of your old methods before and it worked out great.. I'm in the process of taking out my micro braids and my hair definitely needs a trim. This was right on time! Thank you!🤗

Girl, I remember when you did a bantu style video and added extra hair. This looks even cuter!!!! 😍 Thanks for the video!

This. Is. SO. SATISFYING😍😍😍 Yaasssss Whitney, your hair have been giving me life for Years😩👌

I know I should have watched more than just the one video, but this was so detailed and it made me feel so confident that I just went for it. 15 minutes later, i can absolutely tell the difference!

It's like you talk and do the voice over while still in the action of the other moment! I can't explain it. lol but I love it!!!

I've been doing small trims and the "search and destroy method," but I actually need to do a real trim, soon. Thanks for the reminder!

I just trimmed my hair Saturday!! 🤣 Love your videos

I’m literally watching this video as I mini twist my hair and dust my ends! Thanks for the updated trimming tutorial! ❤️❤️❤️

I am three months fully natural after being 19 months post relaxer and I plan to trim my hair this weekend..... Got some useful tips from you. Thanks Whitney and I love your hair❤❤❤ so full and healthy

Need this for so long I hated wash day because of the tangled only to realize it's because of my damaged ends that we're causing me to basically tear out my hair no matter how much slippage the conditioner gave me. But now I'm concerned about what's actual damage and what's my natural texture 😩😩

It's like you heard my prayers girl. I've been natural for almost two years and never trimmed but I'm terrified of heat. Especially since I have low density type 4c hair (y'all think thick hair is a struggle, imagine hair that never looks full even in a fro smh) anyway I need help on shaping and all but I'll do this to at least get my hair back on track

Thanks for this great video. I trim my hair myself so tips are always welcome. I feel so accomplished when I finish and my ends are clean and happy!!!! Please keep the awesome content coming I learn so much from you!! Gigi

She said it was dry and my jaw dropped😮😱😱😱😱😱😱Like you legit must have the healthiest hair a human possibly can have...the true meaning of luscious🙌

i don't think it's possible to get rid of ALL split ends, esp on natural hair

I love this process! It works for me

THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE BEING NATURAL FOR 3 YEARS

Those are the BEST shears ever! I love mine! ❤ Good job

My hair is about 15 to 16 inches long and I thank you so much for making videos based upon maintaining and a having healthy head of hair. My wife and I have been fans for about 5 years now. Keep up the excellent work. #naturalhairrocks

I have been wanting this video!!! I love your channel!❤❤

BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm working on getting my hair the same thickness from the roots to the tips. Thanks for the continued inspiration.😘

Omgggg litterally today I was like is Whitney going to upload anytime soon. My queen has returned!!!😭😂😍😍

Beautiful healthy hair.❤️😍

I love having African American hair. Our hair so beautiful.

You always help me! I just said if I had one hair wish it would be you styling my hair. These tutorials are the next best thing!

This video is literally right on time. I'm getting ready to trim my ends and always try to refresh my memory on how to do it properly. Thanks for taking the time to update your method. #stillmyfavoriteyoutuber 😊

Thank you for this! I had sooo many knots & split ends the last time I went to the salon? I had to get 2 inches cut off 😫

I need this video thank you! I hope it works on my 4c hair

This is what consistency gets you, a booming channel.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for being one of the reasons I now have the confidence to wear my hair naturally. So yeah..thank you :)

I've never done it since I got rid of my relaxed ends. You made me brave enough to do it myself Whitney! Thank you for that little push! My hair will thank me.

I would like to see what your hair looks like after taking down the twisted bantu knots i might trim it and style it like that and undo it the next day and wear that! might be a bomb pattern lol 😍

What timing! I was just thinking that I need to trim my hair tomorrow after wash day and up pops your video!

Thank you for making this video. I watched it today and was inspired to do a much needed trim on my hair based on your instructions. My hair is alive again lol.

Once again you are right on time with this video

I have been waiting for this😍😍😍😍

Thanks for this video Whitney. You have the best hair ever. Thick, woolly, and pretty. It's authentic. It looks hydrated, moist. It looks well moisturized. I like it a lot.

I should have cut my hair this way😭 I cut wayyy too much of my hair off smh. Now I'm growing my hair back, looking crazy.

Hair Sheers!? Gulp!😮...I use office ✂️ scissors! 😜😝😩🙄😏😂

😍Whitney, I just love your thick long hair! You are definitely an inspiration to everyone. Keep up the good work girl😙

Wow your hair grows so fast you are the first person that I been watching on the hair channel your hair always been so beautiful and shining love your family.

Thanks Whitney! QUESTION: how do you keep your hair so healthy it seems like whenever I trim my hair I always have to trim at least 1 inch to 1.5 inch and most of what I see is fairy knots. My hair gets tangled so easily. Any advice on how to prevent that???
