    Default When a curly like GRU does a major S&D session...

    We've all talked split ends, and we've all talked "fairy knots" or "single strand knots" (SSK) and we've all talked about damaged hair, icky ends, etc.

    Well, it's been probably six months since I whacked off about 3"-4" of my old pre-LHC damage, and I haven't really done any S&Ding since, so I got down to business tonight.

    I ended up cutting out 57 fairy knots and 1 split end. No, that's not a typo. One single solitary split end.

    So yes, curlies-n-wurlies, you CAN have healthy hair. It just takes patience, LHC-style gentle treatment, and (in my case -- your mileage may vary!) using a Tangle Teezer, going cone-free, and CO-washing exclusively.

    I'm just not ready to be a Renegray yet!

    Go you GRU ! I'm so jealous. I have so many split ends I'm scared to look for them!

    w00t! Congrats. I long for the day when I may say the same. My splits are getting less... but are they happening less, or am I catching them quicker? -_- Dunno.

    LOVE how you counted your fairy knots.

    Wow fantastic GRU! Can I ask how long it took you? You have so much of that gorgeous hair it must have taken you ages if the amount of time it takes me to do just a quarter of my much thinner hair is anything to go by! It's very reassuring to hear your success, I have a similar routine so fingers crossed it works out that way for me too eventually!
