😂 I can relate! I get way too scissor happy and I've definitely cut my hair a few times since doing this video hahah. hope this method works for you when you give it a go! xx

yes and yes! hahah. If you ends are tangled and breaking that is a sign of old, dry brittle ends that need to go. Cut above where the damage is and it will make so much difference to how your hair looks and feels. I also like to trim my hair before any damage appears. That way, I can trim literally the very end of my hair off which won't affect the length but will keep my ends nice and healthy and avoid the problems you've mentioned. xx

@@AbbieCurls Thank you for answering. I appreciate your advice.

Hair strands grow at different rates, so it’s normal to have sections that are shorter than others. In this case, you can either line the longer sections to be cut to the same length at the shorter section, or cut the long section together, and cut the short section separately. I do the last option.

as mentioned in this video not all of my hair is the same length. Some braids are longer than the others even when they're the braids next to each other! What you do depends on whether you're worried about keeping the length or whether you're more worried about an even cut. If you want to keep the length, just trim the longer braid and wait until the shorter braid catches up. If you're more concerned with having an even cut, cut the braids to the same length. You'll endue having to take more off this way, but your fro will be nice and even all over :) hope this helps xx

coming up!
