Layers and dusting
Mar 24^th, 2009 at 3:58am

I have layers in my hair, and I was wondering if doing my own dusting and S&D is going to make my ends look really weird? I go to the stylist regularly to have split end trims, but I'm kind of afraid of doing it myself. Should I just get my layers cut out? It seems like a lot of people here are anti-layering. Tongue

I don't want to sacrifice a lot of my length right now. Can I still have layered hair and have it healthy?

If you feel uncomfortable with dusting your own hair,then as long as you trust your stylist,have him or her do it! The choice is yours when it comes down to it.

Dusting and S&D (search and destroy) are terms used when a person trims just the damaged part of a hair strand. This is a tedious process done by sectioning the hair into small groups, looking at all the end and using a very sharp scissor to cut any splits, bursts, or knots off the hair strand. "Dusting" comes from the trimmings when doing this - you will have a light dusting of hair that was trimmed off.

I had a lot of layers put in a few months ago and my hair looks skimpier than ever so now I have to grow it out. I plan to have hubby carefully trim (straight across the bottom) 1/4 to 1/2 an inch off every other month to help out...
