You can dust by yourself and at the comfort of your home.
How to Dust
- Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, stretched and thoroughly detangled.
- Sectioning: Divide hair into manageable sections.
- Twisting Method: Twist each section tightly; split ends will protrude from the twist, making them easier to identify.
- Dusting: Use sharp hairdressing scissors, carefully snip the visible split ends.
- Re-twisting: Untwist, then twist in the opposite direction, and repeat the trimming process to catch any missed ends.
You can also stretch your hair with a blowdrier and do the twists, dust off the ends, twist in the opposite direction and get rid of the hairs poking out and let go of the damaged ends as well.
How often should one do the ‘dusting‘
I’ll say as soon as you notice the split ends. The ends got to go but after every 6-8 weeks.
