I have ends that I only need to dust, very minimal straight ends, and I will keep doing it myself, maybe just one more time or twice.

My new growth is softer which i always never thought, I mean I have highly coily hair, but it is soft compared to the dry ends. I have been trimming since March (doing monthly mini-chops). I want to completely go natural in two weeks, Yes! to the big chop, and wear synthetic braids until December to wear my hair out. Too short for my liking too. *sorry about that, needed to rant* But hey, you have hair exactly like mine, at least from the pictures, and 1month apart post-relaxer. Keep posting, you inspire me.

Now I only shampoo once a month. I co-wash in between and that is helping a lot. I understand exactly what you mean. My ends looked just like yours once, but I am not afraid to get rid of them. nerlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382624880633872811noreply@blogger.com
