WHY YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR HAIR FOR IT TO GROW HEALTHY

If you are trying to grow you hair more full and long, make sure you are keeping up with your haircuts regularly.

My recommendation, if you’re doing all of the right things to take care of your hair (I’ll explain more in detail later) would be to get a “ghost trim” every six to eight weeks.

Between styling, blowdrying, hot water, winter dryness or summer heat and many other factors, it is important to keep your ends healthy!

If you aren’t cutting you hair because you think your hair will grow longer faster, you’re sadly mistaken.

Naturally, our hair splits on the ends. In order to avoid our hair from splitting further up the hair shaft, the ONLY way to truly amend this is to cut the split ends off. Otherwise, your hair will become fragile, eventually breaking off, which is what causes the thin and straggly looking ends.

There are some incredible products on the market that will help to avoid split ends as much as possible, but unless you’re consistent with your haircuts, it is bound to happen.

Even though our hair grows from the root/scalp, cutting the ends enables our hair to continue to grow in strong, long and healthy.

Think of it this way, the hair on your ends is the oldest and more beat up and needs a little TLC. Especially if you are coloring, highlighting or using hot tools.

It is also very important to do your research when you’re looking for a reputable hairstylist to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. Make sure you are showing your stylist a couple of inspiration photos and speaking in depth about what length you’re comfortable at.
