Trim Your Natural Hair for Healthy Hair

Trim Natural Hair

A lot of times, we feel that by not trimming our natural hair, we keep our length and our hair stay long. This however is not always the case. If you are not taking good care of the ends of your hair, they could be damaged. One sign that you need a trim is when moisture is no longer being retained there. Click here for some tips on how to fix bushy ends.


The above picture shows a "mirror-view" of what my hair looked like before I trimmed off about 1 - 2 inches. Yes, it seems like a lot, but I really needed a good trim. After straighten my hair with the Saran Wrap experiment, I could really see the ends. Now I understand why some naturals choose to straighten their hair to trim it.

Here is the "non-mirror-view: of what my hair looks like after the trim.

You can see below my ends are fuller and more healthy looking.

To protect your ends, make sure to tuck them away after properly moisturizing and sealing your hair.

  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.

For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.
