Hey guys, I've been on the board for a few months now, and I have been loving all the tips and have really improved my hair care routine! The only thing is, I was looking at my hair today and my ends are looking really uneven. I don't know if it is new breakage or old, and I wonder if when I get my relaxer touchup I shpuld get my ends evened up. What would you guys do in my situation? |

I would get them trimed because if they aren't [trimmed] they aren't healthy. And plus, if your hair is uneven, it probably won't look right ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

I totally agree. Don't trim unless there is damage, or you just WANT to have those ends even. It's not necessary if there is no damage. ------------- http://fire.prohosting.com/p1017 - My Hair Site Copy site: http://phoenix1017.sitesled.com

I agree w/cookie. Unless you want your hair to be evened up for styling purposes I wouldn't trim unless the ends are damaged. It is important to get regular trims though. My hair grows in unevenly so every now and then I like to even it up because it bothers me to look at. ------------- |

Pokahontas- I saw on your "fotki" that you mentioned a maxiglide. What exactly is a maxiglide? |
