1. Trim ends often - it may sound counter intuitive when trying to grow your hair out to add cutting/trimming into your curly hair routine. But when you think about the science of hair, it makes sense. Hair grows at a rate on average of about 1/2 inch per month. The recommendation is to trim your ends about a 1/2 an inch every 3 months. This would net you about 4 inches of growth every year. This is pretty substantial if you are dealing with a TWA. It's also the difference between ear length to shoulder length hair. But if you are trying to grow your hair, why should you cut any of it off anyway? Well, your ends are the oldest part of your hair and they tend to be more dry, brittle, and susceptible to fairy knots and split ends. Ridding your tresses of this adds to the overall health of each strand.

I can pretty much guess that the majority of us curly naturals are product junkies! I mean how could you not be? There are so many great brands and products out there nowadays that we just want to try them all! And don't get me wrong, it's good to experiment and try new things but there is a limit to all this fun. You don't want to go online or in a beauty supply store and go crazy because a product looks good, gets rave reviews, or smells amazing! You want to be able to pick your products with purpose and according to what you have/don't have in your collection.
