How I Trim 4C Hair

What'S going on y'all, this is karon j and in this video i'm gon na be showing y'all how i trim my hair. So under my um wave cap i have my hair twisted right and, as you can tell, my hair looks really like my ends and i'll tell y'all why, when i washed my hair a little bit under two weeks ago, what happened was i had a style style That i was wearing prior to me, washing my hair. I was wearing my hair back in one of the one of those um puffs, because i i twisted my hair out and then i brushed it back and then i wore my hair in a puff. So i was wearing my hair in a puff, for i don't even know how long and i wasn't really taking care of it like how i should have been. I wasn't twisting it back up going to sleep at night. I wasn't doing none of that. So my hair definitely got tangled up and then, when i went to go wash it i had so many tangles to the point where i was like wow like my hair, is like i'm gon na have to like comb, my hair out. So that's what i had to do. I had to comb my hair out the most tangled i ever seen my hair. That'S that's what it was and i lost so much here so right now. My ends are like going through it and i'll show you another one. If i could get it out right now, my ends are like going through it. Let me show y'all yeah. My ends is like going through it right now, but i'ma fix it. So today i want to trim my hair just so i could like even even out you know my hair and everything i was already. I was already intending on trying my trimming, my hair, but the day that i washed it. I knew i lost so much hair and i knew that my hair was going to be uneven so that definitely pushed me to like you know, tell myself like okay, you need to trim your hair before the next um style. So that's what i'm gon na do today, so i'm gon na go to the bathroom and then i'm gon na just show you how i trim it. This is crazy. Look at this. Whenever i trim my hair, i always start with dry stretched hair, whether it's been in twists or braids. I always trim that way, because it's the easiest way for me. It helps to start off tying the front twist with a rubber band, so it can be out your way if you have clips, you can use those too, but i'm using one of these. This right here is a paddle brush, i'm using this brush first, because this would be the best tool for me to start off with in my detangling process, i'm using about three different tools in this video just to detangle, because i feel like just one isn't really Enough to get the best trim next here you can see that i use this comb because i'm trying to get it a little smoother and then i just trim then i'll just give it another good brush through, because i want to see if i trimmed off enough, Then i go ahead and twist what i trimmed, then i move on to the next side of the twist, so i'm working with one piece of each twist, one by one in the same process that i did with the other piece, i'm going to repeat you want To hold the hair away from you outwards, while you cut and make sure that you're using a pair of hair shears, because otherwise you'll just be causing more damage by picking up your section, you might be able to tell the most damaged part of your hair. After you smooth it out, you should see how thin it gets as it goes toward the ends if you're able to see through it. That'S your sign that it needs to be cut, keep in mind that you could cut off whatever you're comfortable with, and i could cut off a little bit more. But at this moment i'm comfortable with this. I'M mostly worried about these ends because they look crazy. Take your shears and then you just cut i pretty much just cut mine in a straight line. I brushed out the sections in the back because i wanted to see how it looked and see if it was even or not and so far it looked pretty decent. I twisted the hair back into two sections, so i can move on to trimming more sections here, i'm almost near done and you can see how many twists i have now. Those are the ones that i trimmed. I left them out but say if you wanted to tie or clip those back um, so you don't get confused. You could do that, but i decided not to and see on this part how i'm using a different brush. This is like a they call it a tangle-free brush, but it's a good brush, but, like i mentioned here before, i do use three different tools in this video to detangle, and i kind of just go back and forth with them. I place the section flat in between the top and middle knuckles of my index and middle fingers. I try to flick and position the section with the shears to gather the hair together, so i can get a good trim. So now i'm working on the perimeter of my head and my edges are a lot shorter than the rest of the hair on my head. So i'm just separating that and as i separated it, i noticed a single strand knot that i wanted to get rid of. I had saw a couple of them actually, but imma show you just one of them as a demonstration. Now, as you trim or examine your hair, you should look out for any of these. If you do see any then just snip them right out, and sometimes you want to give yourself some extra space because remember that once the hair is gone, it's gone until it grows back. So, just to be careful, it's better to cut off some first then too much in one go. This is collarbone length. This is what you're, not understanding. I don't think y'all seeing that. Do you see the length, though the length i'm gon na have to cut it, though i'm gon na have to uh cut a good portion yeah, that's good! Okay, that's good and remember how i say i give my hair another brush through. This is an example why i went in and tweaked a little bit of the ends until i felt like i trimmed off enough. Give it up. Is it's the last piece? Let'S see give it up, i want to try to keep up with my trimming from now on at this point, i'm not even sure once the next time i'll trim, but i know that i don't do it often enough, and this trim session shows that it was Well needed and right here i know it looks a little funny, but i'm just giving y'all like a 360 of how the twists look after i trimmed them combination of shed hairs and um. So it's really not that much though i probably should show you how it looks while it's out, though, so i'm gon na just comb it all out and see what they look like, give it up when you're trying to make sure you don't got any more twists. Left over that you didn't take out. I actually like my hair like this. It could be a little neater, but i like that. I noticed that i got some volume after the trim uh and i wanted to see what it looked like brushed out. So you're gon na see the results when i'm finished, i'm even gon na take a pic to it to take all the extra tangles in and out. So this is my hair fully combed out fully brushed out all right. Try that wraps everything up for this video. I want to thank y'all so much for watching this, and if you found this video helpful or if you enjoyed it, please feel free to leave a like.
