    If you don’t have much experience cutting your own hair, I would recommended letting a professional cut it for you. Because your hair is already so long, you may have a challenging time performing an even, blunt cut.

    After you’ve shampooed, detangled, and sectioned your hair, start with the bottom section, pinch the hair followed by running the comb down the length of your hair, and trim off the desired length, whether it’s 1 or 2 inches. Repeat these steps section by section, using each previously cut piece of hair as your guide.

    Coconut oil and using good shampoo and mask, if your hair is damaged. Incomplete proteins, such as gelatin (contained in foods like Jello, gummy bears, fruit snacks, or in capsule form) aids in hair and nail growth.
