Do you typically experience anxiety when your stylist suggests a trim? Are you clinging by a thread to your dead ends? Many of our hair journeys have been tainted by horror stories about excessive hair cutting, slow hair development, damaged hair, and misunderstanding of trimming techniques. The components of our hair care routine all have a significant impact on the health of our hair. Despite how much we adore our hair, we owe it to ourselves to stop putting each strand’s health at risk.
Prevention of split ends
Split ends are regarded as our hair’s most distressed areas. The ends of our oldest hair strands might break due to over-manipulation, extreme dryness, heat damage, and chemicals. The length that must be trimmed to prevent excessive hair loss will gradually grow after the hair splits up the strand. Getting a clean cut is the only method to solve this issue.
Prevention of single strand knots
Have you ever run across what feels like a knot that was tied on purpose when running your fingers through your hair? It is a knot, as that is how it feels.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve lost plenty of tug-of-war matches with single strand knots. Your strands become more fragile if you tug the single-strand knots with your fingertips. Your hair may break under the strain.
Due to a layers of the hair strands that don’t always lie flat, textured hair is prone to pairing with other strands or looping, which can result in a knot. Curly and coily hair textures are notorious for naturally intertwining, while all hair textures run the danger of developing single strand knots, often known as fairy knots.
Makes the detangling process easier
Detangling hair is a complex process that requires a few steps. Every proposed inch, even a trim, to make the detangling procedure simpler should be strongly considered!
It can be risky to run your brush over damaged hair. Making styling simpler, preventing many hairs from adhering to one another, and ensuring that hair can absorb products are the major objectives of the detangling procedure. After a necessary trim, detangling hair further erodes weak strands. Unfortunately, using a detangler to comb through single strand knots is the same as ripping your hair apart piece by piece. A great trim can speed up the detangling process and cut down on time.
Prevention of thin ends
The need for a trim can be hidden in a number of ways, but thin ends are not one of them. In fact, thin ends become more noticeable as hair becomes longer.
Cutting thin ends can even out good hair and stimulate thickness all around, but big hair isn’t for everyone. While our development cycle might have an impact on thin ends, taking care of delicate hair can result in a healthier and more voluminous appearance. Any style’s appearance can be altered by removing a few inches of poor hair.
How often should you trim your hair?
In order to maintain healthy and thriving strands, hair trimming is essential. Some hairdressers suggest getting a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. When it comes to such a specific requirement, there is no hard-and-fast guideline or one solution that works for everyone. The need for a trim might arise for a variety of reasons, but your hair goals can help you establish a maintenance schedule that always aims for positive development.
