Time for a Trim



For two months now, I have been nursing my ends.  My process of sealing my ends was working okay, but today after co-washing my hair, I noticed that the issue still existed. So, I gave in and did the trim that I did not want to do.

I feel happier now that at least the problem is resolved. Although I lost one inch throughout, I feel content with my decision.

    I hear you! I was hesitant too in the beginning when I first started trimming my hair. But, It's always better to get rid of the damaged ends so that it won't cause problems later.

      Yes it is. I was a little on the verge of crying when I realize how much I have to cut off.. it was about 2 months of growth. But now, my hair feels and looks better. Glad I did it, sooner than later.

Can Split Ends be Genetic?

  @garshellm While split ends are often caused by environmental factors like heat styling, sun damage, and mechanical stress, there can be a genetic component to split ends as well. If you want one on one help with your hair, you can use this link to contact me  http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach Some people may be more prone to split ends due to their hair's natural texture and structure, which can be influenced by genetics. For example: 1. Hair texture: People with fine or brittle hair may be more susceptible to split ends due to the hair's inherent weakness. 2. Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole caus

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discovered a
