Re: The Trim - those ends had to go! My mini-trims weren't cutting it (no pun intended) anymore. I washed, and put in large twists using castor oil. Well, when I went to do the little twists, I could feel such a difference in my hair. It was smooth and nice until I got to the last inch or so and then it was like ewwww! I looked at some old pics and it suddenly hit me !!my ends don't coil up like they used to!! Yup, I was holding on to dry, raggedy ends and didn't even realize it. My hair was thanking me after that trim. It looked and felt soooo nice. :D And I'm sure I'll get those couple of inches back in no time.
