Hi Luv04,


your roots probably only look thin because your roots are so thick from new growth. I dont think you should cut anymore though. Give extra attention to your ends.

I would probably consider perming in the next week or so( Only if you want though)
are you trying to stretch for a certain amount of time? and how thin is thin? If you could post a pic that would help you to get more advice. I am a scissor happy person but I think that your hair just looks thin at the ends compared to the rest of your hair due to new growth....I hope I was helpful.

Luv04,

generally, the ends of the hair (being the oldest part of the shaft) can look thin. It also depends on how you care for the hair. The roots being the newest part of the hair always look thicker especially is other parts of your hair have been chemically processed.

Trim the ends only if you have split ends as the splits can travel up the shaft and cause your hair to look thin and see-through. If the ends aren't split, (an upside down Y shape or fork) just baby your ends more. Put activator type products like care free curl gold or s-curl followed by mango butter, posner bergamot, vaseline, and oils on the ends of your hair to protect them (these are a few of the things I use).

Look up baggie in a search. Use the baggie technique for your ends as often as you can. Also look up stretching relaxers or relaxer stretch to find out how you can manage your roots more effectively if you're stretching your touch-up.

Luv04,

I went back to look at your ends they arent that bad, and I could only imagine they look better since your mom gave you a trip...just give them a little more TLC. Try the baggie method baileys, suggested you can do this nightly then wear in protective style during the day.

your hair is very beautiful dont worry...believe me!!

thanks im doing the baggie method as we speak i moisturized the ends to tha 10th power,,,lol. well i was jus freakin out but im straight now,,i washed then i conditioned the whole head with a choles treatment then i rollerset the whole head but on the ends i put the baggies on each section as i rolled them up. then i tied it up..i will be doing the baggie method more often to ensure no more thin ends.thanks everyone for their helpful tips and compliments ...happy growing ladies..
