Here are some of the questions I get asked the most, and what my answers have been. This way you can get your answers immediately, without having to wait on me. And you never know, you might find answers to a few questions you didn't even know you had yet.

*This is still a work in progress. I'm continuing to add many more questions, and we are still ironing out a few quirks. But we wanted to make this available as soon as possible.

There are several ways to choose the question(s) you'd like answered:

Question:
Do I have to trim my hair when I find little knots in it?
Answer:
About cutting the knots: I will snip off individual strands if it has a little knot or two, or if I come across a curl that seems to have lots of them, then I snip off the ends with all the knots. But I never do a total trim if it's just for knots. If you are running into a few per curl, that's normal, just part of having curls.

However, if it seems every curl you have is filled with knots, then it would be best to trim, and re-examine your hair care routine. It may mean you need to protect your ends a bit more, such as wearing your hair in a more protective style at night if you aren't already, or keeping your ends calmer when shampooing.

So the short answer is to snip off individual knots if there are just a few. Do a full trim if there are tons of them (like nearly every hair has a knot).
