Real Reason Your Stylist Keeps Cutting off Your Ends | Trimming Split Ends | Damaged hair 

Those fairy knots are evil and need to be prayed over in church. Ancestors come thru.

Girl I HATE those tree splits!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

To be honest I've been ignoring my crunchy ends I gotta trim it as soon as I take these braids out 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

Trimming is so satisfying. I just trimmed mine while in mini twists. You really can feel the difference in softness

Wow, I've never seen a strand like that before.

I swear since going natural my split ends are 20x worse than when my hair was relaxed

my phraseology, if you can see through it, cut it off

The neutral make-up looks really nice : )

I needed to hear this! I'm constantly freaking out about my splits and cutting and dusting and biting and everything. Can't keep it moisturized for crap. But to anyone other the outside looking in, I have amazing hair. I just focus too much on the bad strands when I have thousands of good ones!

From thumbnail I thought that strand was a cursive sentence.

girl, i have ptsd just watching you trim your hair 😂 i am definitely guilty of adding sheabutter to split ends and then hyperventilating when it’s time for a cut because i didn’t stay on top of my trims 🤣

I have textured Caucasian hair and GIRL, your video helped me so much. I had to adapt my technique slightly because of different hair types but I’m so grateful! I stopped going to a hairdressers 3 years ago because a trim was never just a trim despite me never using heat and going every 4 weeks like clockwork. Now I’m dusting and trimming my own hair and it’s so healthy and long, you have eased my mind and reinforced that I’m doing the right thing, sometimes I feel like I’m trimming but I don’t know what is a split or damaged end unless it’s obvious etc. Thank you for helping me! I’m not against hairdressers, it’s just not for me. Great video! You have absolutely stunning hair, I’m so envious of those gorgeous tresses! Love from the uk xxx

Don't get it twisted, my ends loook just like Green Beauty's. I trim and dust my own ends and my hair is extremlely healthy and almost waist lenght. Go to 22nd Century Natural Women. I followed her, Green Beauty and Napural85 and my hair flourished. I just do not allow these scissor happy stylist butcher my hair any more period. So if you can trim or dust your own hair that's great. A woman's hair is her glory. Just be cautious when you sit in that chair. If you see it begin to go sideways STOP!

Wow 😲😲 @ the strand of hair. I trim like how you mentioned it..feel of crunchy ends. I still have a bit of raggedy color on my ends that I'm slowly clipping away so I keep vigilant on how my ends feel. Thanks for this informative video. Btw cute baby!😍 ❤

Girl, when I first saw split ends like that come from my head, I almost had a heart attack! Your hair is beautiful as usual ❤️

1:55 that was out of control. Lmao. Thank you for saving it for us

I subscribed to you just because you said not to lose sleep over losing 1-2 inches of hair, and to just protective style and it'll be back. I'm going for a trim next week and I'm nervous because I can see the splits, but you made me feel so much better!! Thank you!

Lol I went to a stylist in my area who does curly/ textured hair. When I asked for a trim and she straight up in soulja boys voice said "TriMmMmMm?!" Lmao that's when I should have said nvm I'll wait. She gave me a new shape and it's super even and not a split end in site but she cut a bit more than needed to. I can't even bun my hair anymore lmao if i ponytail its a cute curly puff but damn she just went to town lmao... at first I was a bit bothered about how much she cut but I said fuck it whatever my hair is seriously healthy and thick (already was lol) my grow out will be amazing. But I honestly think I'll learn to cut it myself. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have such a hard time letting go of my split ends. Thanks for this video. I needed it :)

Not sure how I stumbled upon your video but here I am. I don't know if you're a stylist or were in the past, I take it you were not because you did not mention it, but I must say your knowledge of how and why things are done by stylists is spot on. I have cut a lot of natural hair over my cosmetology career, many times people get upset that I am taking so much off but the truth of the matter is just as you stated, when you don't cut the split ends your hair just keeps getting worse. The average person should get their haircut every 6-8 weeks and that will probably result in loosing about 1/4-1/2 inch. Just think if you are waiting 6 months to cut your hair, you are going to loose 3-4 inches and possibly more. When you cut more often you loose less. I have one suggestion for if you are going to cut your own hair...I would invest in some really good and sharp shears. A pair where you will spend ~$60. I know...that sounds like a lot but hear me out. Using cheap shears is like cutting paper with those scissors they give pre-schoolers, they get the job done but not efficiently and the edges aren't sharp. If you use a nice and sharp pair of scissors, the cut is precise and the edges are smooth and they just glide across the paper. Using cheap shears means the ends of your hair will be blunt cut and messy (you wont be able to "see" messy but I promise, get a good pair of shears and you'll notice the difference when you style) Also, you can try point cutting your ends. (look up point cutting on RU-vid) or just take smaller cuts per section and cut at an angle, so really the way you cut would resemble the edge of a saw blade rather than a straight edge knife. This keeps the ends from being bulky and they won't clump up when styling. Your hair is beautiful and I think it's wonderful you're sharing all your tips with other women. I know I don't have the same type of hair you or your viewers have, but I have been doing hair a long time and like I said, I do a lot of natural hair...I've learned a few things over the years. I hope I don't step on any toes with my advice giving.

I totally agree. My mom and I are both natural and she use to hate when I would cut her split ends, but now she welcomes it because she can feel the difference in her hair and she sees the growth. She now uses my homemade Neem shampoo bar, my rice milk protein deep conditioner, and my protein free conditioner. Her hair has totally changed and is so much healthier.

For me I know my hair needs a trim when I detangle and the ends tangle back up immediately. When they feel crunchy, rough and I can visibly see knots and splits. When I was relaxed I held on to those ends and wondered why my hair kept breaking off and never retained length. After that big chop im more comfortable trimming that crap off.

I think we believe some stylists are “scissor happy” because we don’t understand how bad our ends have gotten and we want to keep our length. We just got to bite the bullet and let it go! ❗️Getting more frequent trims will help. I usually have my ends trimmed once a year but definitely need to do it more 😩. My hair detangles so much easier after a trim! ✨✨

I have had a strand that had multiple splits on it but not on that level. I get my hair trimmed professionally every 10-12 weeks and still splits can be found. Even right after the trim. Split ends will always happen we can only try and lessen the AMOUNT that we have. I do think that type 4 hair tends to have more splits and breakage than straight or looser hair types due to the coily nature of it.

I don't know why people try so hard to hold on to split ends. It's okay. You're going to be okay. Let it go.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the length and shrinkage?!

I’m 1” past waist length and I get my hair trimmed twice a year (the only 2 times I straighten my hair per year). I wear twist/braid outs/puff/ or wigs/weaves. DC every week and moisturize... then your golden 👩🏽‍🦱💕 good luck

Oh.my.goodness! Talk about enlightenment! I now understand why you must cut off the dead/split ends. My hairs grows beautifully but I always wondered why it never really got thick or would break at a certain point. The middle of my head would be thick and felt healthy but the edges would be long, thin and stringy also grouping together....slit ends, that’s why. Thank you so much for showing and teaching me!!

Your looks amazing. Your thickness is goals.

I see that you are a Frozen fan lol🤣👏👏👏 your damaged hair really scared me: it looks like the split end had babies, then the split ends babies had more babies and so on...😶

That’s why 4C hair has knots, to stop split ends from traveling. We look at knots as something negative because we aren’t use to them.

Can you speak more about single strand knots because I trim my own hair every month because that's what works for me but somehow within three weeks I start developing lots of single strand knots... So can you make a viedo about that

Your looks amazing im so happy you trimmed. Been watching you since

Great information!!!

Thanks so much for this video. I get mine professionally trimmed but it’s expensive BUT way better than when I was doing it myself

Your hair is so pretty. And you is Killin that dag gon' Elsa song. Don't do it! 😂😂😂😂

I watched your video a hour ago and cut my hair just now. I absolutely hate cutting but I'm not gonna lie, it was hard stopping myself from cutting more. I was cutting a lot and I didn't even feel insecure😂😂Thank you, I subbed❤

Girl I haven’t cut off my split ends in almost 5 YEARS-

Looks and feels better after a trim and that’s more important than length to me.

I just want to say thank you for motivating and inspiring me to cut my hair off, it feels so much better, much love bb❤️

How long have you been natural?? Your hair is so Beautiful!!

i rarely get split end, but single strand knots have been fighting me and defeating me lately! i had to trim of 1inch or more this week all around my hair it felt just like you said. i think its because i have been leaving my hair out a lot. so i am back to complete hiding my ends till the rest of year. i was a bit sad but like you said it will grow back.

Unfortunately so many women rather have long thin hair!! Trimming you hair actually helps with ur hair growth!!!

This is how I trim my daughter's. Where ever it feels rough. And her hair is down her back. Then I moisturize and seal with Shea butter

Thank you for sharing.I was wondering about my crunchie ends,lol now I know I didn’t trim enough!

I recently a month ago had finally decided to go get a trim. I was trying to hard to keep my length instead of letting the dead hair go. Well I finally did it. And felt better about it. And I have a hair appointment tomorrow morning.

Beautiful lip colour!

Don't go to no stylist they will cut off all your hair off

I'm definitely wanting to get my hair thicker and healthier. You give me hope😥. Cus after two pregnancies and slacking on my hair care, my tresses took a huge set back. Now my ends look like rats been sucking on them. My hair now reminds me of how yours looked in 2015. That's how I found your channel actually. So, yeah new subie here!

I used to always have my hair grow to a certain point and then get those see-through ends that I. Never realize that those were all split ends! Call me crazy LOL... Now I know and I have no problems nipping them off

Great video. You look gorgeous. I'm gone examine my ends. ☺

😍So BEAUTIFUL and that turquoise illuminating 🙏🏾💙💫

Thanks for the close up of the split ends. I have it really bad. Thanks for the info!

Why do they always cut not trim? They go too far. I stay away from the salon and I grew up going every 2 weeks with my mother. I trim my twists regularly. If it looks ratchet it goes bye bye sis. Lol

Thank you so much for the tips! I will definitely use these during my next trim.

😦 that hair stand looking like ivy lmao. Great video, exactly what I needed to watch

Thanks for sharing this great information and helpful video. I never know when to trim my ends! But my daughter loves to trim my hair.

"Disney call her! " Lol!

Absolutely gorgeous darling! Thank you for posting I love my 4c hair♥️🥰♥️☀️

I trim my hair 6 months ago my hair is still short and is breaking off like crazy. Trimmy it was a big mistake.

It gave you a reaĺly nice shape.

Your hair is beautiful. I agree, if it’s splitting let it go!!!

My stylist said I should get trimmed 2-3 months but I’m trying to grow it out to Bra Strap by November. I’m at Armpit Length and I just a really nice healthy trim. This was my first trim since I became natural almost 3 years ago.

Got rid of my straggly ends and it's got so much body and healthy now.

Lmao when she said these few strands decided to betray me…. Rolling

The last time I let a stylist trim my hair she cut off waayyyy too much and gave me uneven layers all over my head, this was about 9 months ago and my hair is still growing in those layers because of that 🙄

I havent cut my hair over a year...went to get my ends cut to the hair dresser ..she told me that my hair is like damage ... to much split ends.. i went from bra strap to shoulder leghnt... guys have a schedule for trimming ends at least 2-3 times a year

Great video, I will try and be calm about getting my ends cut!

I love this video thank you for the content......also what color/brand lipstick are you wearing? I'm in love with the color.

Im glad im not the only one who has had strands like that lmaoo

My hair was exactly like this at the ends and I cut it off .it was so hard but it’s healthier and is easier to comb through

Jeebus Christ, I damn near teared up at that strand of hair.

Your hair texure is so pretty.

Awesome! Very informative, thanks💖

You made it look so easy. I need a trim bad. I'm shedding like crazy and it hurts my feelings, lol.

Gosh if I can get my hair that long one day! Fairy hair fairies where you at?? Lol 🤣🤣

Your hair is really pretty

I am the 2000th like! yay!

Hair tutorial on this style is needed

People who love to complain about “scissor happy” stylists are usually the one with dreadful ends. Y’all love holding on to length too much let it go sis.

I search and destroy every wash day and I'm getting so annoyed. I've been struggling with slit ends every since pregnancy. I'm at the point now where I just want to cut everything off and start over

There is a RU-vidr (with thigh/almost knee length), who hasn't trimmed her hair in about 7yrs, indigenous strandz is her name.

I had one beautician cut my hair into a 2 inch hairstyle and yes my hair was broken but not that broken. She was my mom friend and i think she just had been out of commission for so long that she got scissor happy. She said she wanted to even my hair out to its shortest length. I was 14 then and i still had hair coming down my back. I stopped letting people did my hair after that. Fast forward i had my ends cut at the shop and the woman only cut 2 inches off. Moral, go to someone who knows how to cut ends, let them know if you want it even or only splits cut and learn to do it yourself!!

You are so beautiful!!!! Great info.

I trimmed my hair lastnight, I've been wearing my hair in a high puff or half up half down style for a while and honey, the single strand knots came out to play honey. I was twisting my hair and when I came to the ends they were rough, I mean rough rough also thin I was feeling lazy but I had to get rid of them

Awwwwwwww cute baby!!!!!😍😍😍😍 (looking at the baby pic on your phone. Lol)

Hair will split more if you don't use hair scissors when cutting your hair. What ever you do, for the love of melanin, do not use regular behind scissors ON YOUR FREAKING HAIR.

8:09 Ooops! He bought in the Credit Card Bill.😆

I hope you realize that wearing your hair down most of the time is causing most of the damage. This is why protective styling should be done 95% of the time. Friction causes fairy knots, detangling breaks off the points and then you have split ends. You have to prevent the fairy knots by avoiding friction. Your hair rubbing on your clothes is actually forming the knots. If you sealed your ends, and wore them up most of the time, most of the damage wouldn't happen.

When I went in for a 2nd press (4 weeks apart from my 1st) my stylist cut my ends again, just a little even know she cut them during the 1st press! I was like why are u cuting them again then?! But I trust my stylist and believe she wouldn't do anything to my hair that isnt necessary.

Never saw the date, the baby was a big distraction. So cute.

Ok thanks i been scared asf thanks for this video/i subscribed you was on time cause i just got mine trim and been having nightmares if i have been doing it in a timly fashion🤗😥thanks

I understand the single strand with the numerous splits but the rest of the hair just looks like curly hair at the ends that possibly need to be moisturized, so am I the only person who thinks that those were split ends?

I’m EXTREMELY scared to get my hair trimmed because I’m super scared I’ll say I want 3 inches off and then they take off 6 I’ve had a botched haircut before and I’m scarred to this day. Anyway to get over this fear?

We need a video on this hair style please!!!!! please!!!

You’re baby is adorable 😍

I am so sad I took 5 years going natural without trimming my end and now I have to cut all off

You look so young with your hair pulled up. A nice updo would suit you well

😍 your hair! How did you style it?
