How to "Dust" Hair

Dusting hair refers to the process of trimming off split ends or damaged hair without affecting the overall length of the hair. It is a simple and effective way to maintain healthy hair and prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.

Here are the steps to dust your hair:

1. Wash and condition your hair: Start by washing and conditioning your hair with a good quality shampoo and conditioner. This will help to remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup from your hair, making it easier to see and trim the split ends.

2. Dry your hair: Towel-dry your hair and gently comb out any tangles. It's important to make sure your hair is completely dry before trimming to avoid any shrinkage.

3. Section your hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections using clips or hair ties. This will make it easier to see and trim the split ends.

4. Trim the split ends: Take one section of hair and twist it tightly. This will make the split ends stick out. Use sharp hair cutting scissors to snip off the ends of the twisted hair, cutting only the split or damaged ends. Be sure to cut at an angle to avoid creating blunt ends.

5. Repeat the process: Continue this process, working your way through each section of your hair until all the split ends have been removed.

6. Finish up: Once you have finished trimming, gently comb out your hair to remove any loose hairs. You can also apply a hair oil or serum to the ends of your hair to add shine and moisture.

Dusting your hair regularly can help to keep it healthy and prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft. It's recommended to dust your hair every 6-8 weeks or as needed, depending on the condition of your hair.
