This DIY Hair Cutting Technique Gets Rid Of Split Ends In Seconds

People generally fall into two camps: those who love a haircut, and those who avoid them at all costs. If you belong in the latter group, you may just be interested in a DIY trimming technique called micro-dusting. “Micro-dusting is a trimming technique for curly hair that targets dead and split ends,” explains Alex Brownsell, co-founder and creative director at Bleach London. “If you’re trying to grow your hair or find you quickly get knots and splits from styling, I’d recommend dusting every four to six weeks to stay on top of your hair health and promote growth.” Mastering a technique like this also allows you to avoid that (shorter-than-you’d-like) cut your hairdresser insists upon following a long break between salon visits, to eliminate all of your dead ends. “If you want to avoid asking for an inch and your stylist taking a mile, micro-dust regularly at home,” says Brownsell.
