Dear one, I believe someone is telling you that you have to trim your ends.
You are telling yourself that your hair is thin and does not look good. But truth is that after the first look, your personality is what comes in to play. You have a conviction to keep your hair. I will not tell you to trim your hair. So why are you asking? Feel wonderful and gracious that you care for your KESH and celebrate your appearance with confidence. Do not let someone else's opinion color your feelings about yourself.

How about if I told you that when you put on a turban, your hair will grow thicker? Would you do it?
For now, stop worrying about your hair. You have chosen to keep it free. Love it and brush it and massage your scalp regularly and your hair will shine with happiness and glow.

Bless you,
SK
