Just began trimming my TWA Ok, so I've finished trimming my hair. It took me about two hours. After washing and deep conditioning my hair, I parted in 4 sections. 1. Then, I sectioned off my hair in each quadrant and applied a leave-in conditioner. 2.  Sprayed water on the section 3. Applied shea butter mixed with coconut oil. 4. Used Gabriella (cheaper version of Denman brush) to smooth. 5. Smoothed the hair between my index and middle finger, stopped right before rough ends 6. Cut the rough ends off and twisted my hair.  I knew when all of the damaged ends were gone, because the ends of my hair would curl up at the end of my twists :-)  making progress lol half of my TWA trimmed Finished! Damaged ends

It's been 4 months as of July 3,2011 since my BC, and I have decided to trim my TWA. The pic above is actually of pic of when I cut a piece of my permed hair off lol. Anyway, I have been reading articles that have debated on whether to trim the ends of your TWA. Because your hair does not meet as much friction as long hair, some have said they would rather wait until their year mark. I'd rather trim them now, then have to cut later lol. My ends do not feel as smooth as they were when I create finger coils, so a trim is best. I've found the videos by Sheacutey   and  MsVCharles to be the most helpful. They both discuss dusting and trimming. I will post pictures of my hair after my trim. So, check back later! :-) I would also like to read your stories and comments on this! Please feel free to post!                             ...
