How to keep your Ends healthy

Hi cuties! been a while.... hope you're doing wonderful?!
    If you are reading this post you must have seen the topic already. For benefit of those just starting out on their hair journey i would explain in my own words what i mean by 'ends'.
  Ends are the last lengths of your hair. Its the very tips and the oldest parts of your hair being that it was protruded upwards from the follicles before the other lengths of your hair (a pic of my ends is at the bottom of this post).
   So, i wore my twist out for 3days and detangled it on the evening of the last day. Finger detangling was easy because the twists stretched my hair (No i didn't detangle without an aid....i used my lovely lemon grass infused oil) at 6wks post relaxer i have only followed up my finger detangling with a comb once when i blow dried my hair. So there i was taking pictures of my hair and i decided to take a pic of my ends too....guess what i found out? My ends were healthy! I have been taking good care of them because their health play a big role in my length retention. I wouldn't want to leave room for a setback or my ends becoming too thin.

Anyone wondering what i do to keep them healthy??? here's what i do and it will help you too if you follow it consistently like i do.
* I moisturise my ends whenever i moisturise the length of my hair and that is every 2-3 days.
* I seal my ends with Shea butter or castor oil everyday whether i moisturise or not....this helps to completely eliminate split ends.
* I keep my ends up always either in a loose ponytail with the ends tucked up or a bun.
* I make sure to get my ends dusted all over (dusting are tiny trims that are between 0-0.5 inch anything more is trimming) and trim my nape hair (my nape hair is long and the left side grows faster than the right) when i texlax.
     Seriously i wasn't the one for trimming or dusting... i mean...how can the hair grow if i keep trimming it?? lol. Until I found out its not like that...regular dusting of your ends is very beneficial for the overall health of your hair. I tried it myself...dusting off about 0.3" off my ends all over every month and its what keeps my ends in good condition. I no longer dust every month its now when my ends need it.
   Don't forget that your ends need whatever you apply on the length of your hair so prepooing, deep conditioning, moisturising and sealing should also reach the ends of your hair adequately.
     Hope this helps a cutie out:-)
