As discussed previously on this site, many professional stylist recommend that curly girls blow their hair out for a proper trim. Blow out is using medium to low heat from a blow dryer to temporarily straighten or stretch hair. Lexi with the Curls has a great video.
The picture angles are a little different but you will notice that picture 1 needs a trim (Click on the pictures for larger view). My ends were in pretty good shape but I still wanted to get a trim to avoid any future breakages. My stylist trimmed less than 1/4 of a inch less; retaining the length of my hair. Picture 2 is after the trim.

I’m very happy your hair is growing now and it looks good!!!
