The Power of Dusting

Hi guys , soooooo I'm back with another post. Sorry for the delay been really busy.  Ok so today I want to talk about dusting your ends and the amazing benefits. Ok so u might say what the heck is dusting. Dusting is basically micro trimming ur hair (taking of no more than 4mm off ur ends). Because hair on average only grows like half an inch a month which is actually not a lot, I think its non productive to trim off too much after every relaxer.

Most hair gurus say its good to dust your ends every 6wks. This should totally eliminate split ends. With this method you should only need to trim your hair twice a year. Some even eliminate trimming completely.

Dusting helps to get rid of split ends, reduce breakage,and improves the overal look of your hair. Split ends are erradicated  before they even have a chance to start causing damage. The logic behind dusting is u don't need to take of too much length to get rid of a slit end which is usually only about 2mm. So taking off 4mm will eradicate it. Now that I have incoporated dusting every 6wks I have definately experienced less breakage.

Here's some picks I took of my latest dusting. . .


Here's how little I took off with each snip

Hair Update

My hair right now is 7wks post. I have stopped combing my hair and I try to do as little manipulation as possible. Hopefully I will be stretching till 9wks. Wish me luck. After this I will be stretching to 12wks. Once I have gotten a hang on stretching I will definately do a post on how to do a successful stretch.
