 no baby. Trini girl natural. Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. I'm coming to you with yet another failed video I guess. This one is a trim film. I've only trimmed my hair myself like twice and the last two times, the first two times, I trimmed it while it was wet and I was thinking to myself I really want to try trimming it dry but I'm too lazy to like do all the heat less stretching and whatever blowout whatever and then start trimming. So I saw someone on Instagram with like really amazing twists and you know just like perfect goals twist trimming her twist dry and I was like oh okay let me try that so that's what I did and that's what flopped for me. I'm calling it the reverse trim method because the last time I trimmed as you guys saw I pull it straight did this trimming thing twisted and then trimmed a little extra if I saw any this time let it dry anything that I saw in the coil so I kind of recoiled it too to kind of pull the ends and make sure I saw everything then trim anything I saw in the coil of the twist then untwisted a little bit and then trimmed each side because like I trimmed the coil first then the hair whereas before I trimmed the hair first then the coil yes I got it right so yeah so I'm calling it like the reverse that's the reverse trim method but it didn't really work for me so pulling like this and trimming is a lot easier for me and it's a lot more sense for me because I'm not great at twisting anyway and I'm not used to twists and coils and all of that and having to deal with that so this easy peasy but trying to deal with like a coil already doing its own thing and already setting a certain way and going sideways basically and trying to trim was just really hard really difficult for me so I kind of regretted it as soon as I started and saw what it was going to be like for me I want to just trim the damage and trim as little as possible I guess I don't want to just like be trimming off coils especially since my hair is very coily and one little coil could be like two inches so you know I wanted a little more precision I guess than that method gave plus I wanted to be able to kind of cut straight-ish and not cut a coil that's going left while I'm trying to cut across you know it was just like too much going on so the pros of the method is trimming dry hair because I really believe that it's better to trim hair that's not wet dry but what is dry it's not dried out so not wet and not heat blown out but if you did some kind of heat less stretch or something and trim that I think that that would be the healthiest day because the cuticles are like lower and it's not the more razor cuticles are while trimming the more kind of damage you might be causing and water raises the cuticles and heat raises the cuticles easier than like doing some kind of heat less stretch and then trimming like a three-step process wash one day heat less stretch the next day trim the third day it's easier than all that and it's less tiring and stressful and trying to trim on wash day because you know after you go through your whole wash they don't want to start trimming so I was like this sound good let me try it but not as easy as it looks not for those who just want to cut the bare minimum not for those who kind of want to at least try to cut to the straight line try to cut even and stuff like that it is easier to see your ends and to see the damage when it's drying so I was able to see it it was just going in a coil and I'm trying to cut it and just making my life difficult so I guess you should think before you leap so I left and then this is my final thoughts so hopefully I'll save other people unless you're really gonna twisting and that's your dream and you do it that way and it works for you but people who are like new to twisting new to trimming both right me probably should leave that method alone so next time I trim I'm gonna go back to the way I was doing it which is the way that really fine taught me how to do it I'm gonna go back to that I was thinking would I be convenient to just cut and then have you know you twist it with a nicely cut end but I didn't cut like her she just literally just took a coil and cut and then she separated it and then kind of cut each coil but she's really gonna twisting for one so her coils were perfect and for two she didn't seem as concerned in terms of how much she cuts so she didn't cut much but she cut just cutting bits of coil whereas I wanted to kind of stretch out the coil and see exactly what I was cutting so by the time I was done stretching out the end of my coil I kind of I would say ruin my twist out if it would have had a chance anyway but it did kind of mess up my twist out so me thinking oh I would just kind of just like her and have perfect twist just like her dreams versus reality kind of thing so I think for me for intro my twist all will come out better if I trim it wet or before and then coil it and just let it be at the end I don't regret it I mean I needed a trim I got a trim or someone's hair shares a sharp and you don't cut too much you can't really go wrong in terms of trimming and it's just hair and it'll grow back and all that so I don't like how I could regret it but it wasn't the best trimming approach for me so this is pretty much how much I cut and in terms of the average length of it it wasn't too bad either so like this is kind of in the range I'm going for when I trim which is like you know quarter inch to half inch I guess so overall I'm still gonna have a trim I'm just saying that it wasn't the easiest way to do it and my ends are probably all if I like all different situations going on in there right now so I'll definitely be going back to that next time so that's it let me know how you trim your hair let me let you trim it yourself and if you do how you trim your hair if you do like wet if you do like pulling out like this if you just freestyle if you dust off of twist like let me know what you guys do so I'll maybe have something new to try next time I don't know maybe I should stick to what works I don't know but you know I'm enjoying my journey and I hope you are too and I'll see you in the next one bye
