Hello dear ladies of the community, happy Thursday!

On this occasion I want to participate once again in this week's contest, and more because one of the questions I know in the flesh, and it has become a little obsession for me, so let's start:

2️⃣ Some women cut their own hair not mainly to save money but because they find fun in doing it. Have you ever done it yourself? How did it turn out? Would you do it again?

This topic is something curious, I started to analyze my life regarding haircuts, about 10 years ago my parents gave me a much desired hair straightener, I felt very insecure with my frizzy hair, it was something that I disliked. Then as each year went by, I saw the negative effect it had on my hair, but I ignored it, maybe every year I would just go to the salon and get my hair cut, but I was not making any progress in terms of growth.

So I started a new insecurity because my hair was not growing enough, and instead of looking for solutions I only made it worse with keratin, hair surgeries, dyes, bleach (I'm not saying that they are bad, just that in my case I used them without knowledge and I didn't take care of it as it should be).

And two years ago I went to the salon for a haircut and it happened what no one wants, I asked the stylist to cut only the ends and she ended up cutting more than 5 fingers long, I was dying inside, she just told me: "ready, cut what you need" and I was really crying.

After that, I started to look for tips and recommendations to take care of my hair and to make it grow healthy and strong, and from there I discovered that it was very necessary to cut everything that was damaged and also to let my hair rest from the heat; so I decided to do everything possible for my hair and among all that was the option to cut the ends of my hair every 3 months.

Well what was recommended to me is that I could make my hair grow even more, because they say that there are people who have "bad hand"; and to tell the truth I don't know if it is just a myth or a reality, but what I do know is that since that time I have been cutting myself the ends of my hair and I have really seen how fast it grows, of course I am still cutting everything I need (the damaged), but I see the differences every 3 months and it's amazing.

And of course I would do it again, the results are favorable, so I will continue to enjoy cutting and taking care of my hair every time it's necessary, I don't want it to be dull again.

¡Hola queridas damas de la comunidad, feliz jueves!

En esta ocasión quiero participar una vez mas en el concurso de esta semana, y mas por que una de las preguntas la conozco en carne propia, y se ha vuelto una pequeña obsesión para mí, así que comencemos:

2️⃣ Algunas mujeres se cortan el pelo ellas mismas no principalmente para ahorrar dinero, sino porque les divierte hacerlo. ¿Alguna vez te lo has cortado tú misma? ¿Cómo te ha quedado? ¿Lo volverías a hacer?

Este tema es algo curioso, me puse a analizar sobre mi vida con respecto a los cortes de cabello, hace unos 10 años atrás mis padres me regalaron una tan deseada plancha de cabello, me sentía muy insegura con mi cabello crespo, era algo que me desagradaba. Luego al pasar cada año, veía el efecto negativo que esto le ocasionaba a mi cabellera, pero lo ignoraba, simplemente quizá cada año iba al salón y me cortaban el cabello, pero no avanzaba con respecto al crecimiento.

Así que comenzó una nueva inseguridad al tener mi cabello pasmado pues no crecía lo suficiente, y en vez de buscar soluciones solo lo empeoraba con queratina, cirugías capilares, tintes, decolorantes (no digo que sean malos, solo que en mi caso lo usaba sin conocimiento y además no lo cuidaba como debía ser).

20221112_195600.jpg20221130_130055.jpg

Y hace dos años fui al salón por un corte de cabello y sucedió lo que ninguna quiere, le pedí a la estilista que solo las puntas y termino cortando mas de 5 dedos de largor, yo me iba muriendo por dentro, ella solo me dijo: “listo, corte lo necesario” y yo de verdad estaba que lloraba.

Luego de esto, comencé a buscar tips, y recomendaciones para cuidar mi cabello y para que crezca sano y fuerte, y desde allí descubrí que era muy necesario cortar todo aquello que estaba dañado y además dejar mi cabello descansar del calor; asi que me propuse hacer todo lo posible por mi cabello y entre todo eso estaba la opción de cortar las puntas de mi cabello cada 3 meses.

Pues lo que me recomendaron es que yo misma podría hacer crecer aun mas mi cabello, pues dicen que hay personas que tienen “mala mano”; y a la verdad no se si sea tan solo un mito o una realidad, pero lo que si se es que desde esa vez me he estado cortando yo misma las puntas de mi cabello y de verdad que he visto como me crece de rápido, por supuesto aún estoy cortando todo lo necesario (lo dañado), pero veo las diferencias cada 3 meses y es asombroso.

Y por supuesto lo volvería a hacer, los resultados son favorables, así que yo seguiré disfrutando de cortar y cuidar mi cabello cada vez que sea necesario, no quiero volver a tenerlo pasmado.

Cutting your hair is one of the most boldest act there is. But it is necessary especially when your hair is damaged. I cut the perm from my hair and allowed my natural hair to grow.
I haven't had a perm for almost two years now, I must say I enjoy my hair a lot more now.

that's right, I even started looking for products for frizz because that was also one of my problems and now I don't need to flat iron as often as before, I enjoy my natural hair and only flat iron on special occasions.

I also believe in the “bad hand” thing. I don’t know if it’s a myth but I have experienced bad hair days thanks to bad actors 😂

I have been told that trimming the tips of hair helps it grow better.

I don't know how true it is, but since I do it myself, I see more results.😄

Si definitivamente cortarse las puntas cada tres mes es una excelente manera de tener una melena saludable, se ve muy lindo tu cabello.

I heard that bleaching can damage the strands. Glad you got your healthy hair back. I kind of believe the saying that some people have bad hands when it comes to cutting hair. There was a time I had my haircut at another salon and my hair grew too slowly.

Thanks for sharing your experiences !LADY

That's right, that's how it used to happen to me, and I was terribly afraid every time I had to get my hair cut. Thanks to you!

I love to cut my hair by my hand, but in some moment, I also go to salon. Just make sure if there is professional or our hair will go badly.

Your hair look so healthy ❤️

Well cutting your own hair does tend to have us experiment and experiment do did. I tried a lot and error a lot too but after time we find what works for each of us. A work of art!
