Here are five reasons why you need to stop putting off that trim!

It will make your hair easier to manage

Freshly cut ends help to detangle your hair. It’s true that damaged hair is harder to maintain and also harder to handle. Avoid unnecessary breakage and frustration by taking care of those split ends before it’s too late.

You will prefer the look of your hair

Getting a fresh trim will give your hair an instant boost of thickness. By trimming those fried and thinned-out ends, (which already added no length or thickness) your hair will appear thicker, bouncier, and healthier and you will be obsessed with how soft your fresh mane feels even after you have washed and styled it outside the salon.

It will fasten up your rate of hair growth

If you’re frustrated about the lack of growth, then trimming your hair more regularly can be the solution to this problem. With a healthier mane, you can expect your hair to not only grow faster but to also grow thicker and rich in shine.

It is extremely effective in treating heat damage

We’ve all probably suffered from some type of heat damage before. The main culprits of this are usually hair straighteners or blowdrying. Unfortunately, once you have heat damage you can’t repair it. We know some product manufacturers say that you can repair heat damage but you can’t. Once heat damage is there of course there are things you can do to improve the appearance of it but the hair in quality will still remain damaged. Your only option for fresh undamaged hair is to simply cut the damage off and grow it again. However, we do understand that the idea of cutting your hair has the undeniable ability to make your stomach turn into a knot so alternatively to chopping you may then opt to trimming it every month until the damage has completely gone.

Your hair will be easier to style

Having hair that is damaged/split ends makes styling that much more difficult due to the fact it is almost like working with 2 different textures of hair. Damaged hair tends to not do what you want it to which makes styling a lot harder. You might find once you have a trim you feel like you have a completely new mane to style.

Common Questions About Getting a Trim

What would happen if I just left the damage and continued to grow my hair as to not lose any length?

If you decide to hold off on cutting your ends, you actually not only encourage frizziness and worsen the existing damage but there is also a risk of potential breakage and you may end up losing even more length than you would have in the first place if you had just got a tiny trim when you needed it. Leave it for too long and your hair will just begin to self cut and you will shed your dead ends as if you have had a big chop (that would not have been needed in the first place.)

How often should I get my hair trimmed?

There are varied options on how often you should trim your hair. A lot of that decision should be based on your personal circumstances. For example, if you tend to use a lot of heat on your hair then it is likely that you would need to trim more often as the ends will be getting more damaged sooner. We would usually recommend a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your mane as healthy as possible and to maintain those healthy ends.

What is the difference between a trim and a hair cut?
Although there are similarities between a haircut and a trim there are differences also. When you trim your hair you only take a small amount of your hair off. Perhaps 1/2 an inch at a time. A haircut is much more distinct and can be any amount of hair. You may have had long hair and decided to go completely short. Whilst both are technically cutting your hair, trimming is a much milder version.
So if we haven’t already made enough reasons why trimming your hair is only a good thing. If you have ever wondered why when some people style their hair it looks like a just stepped out of the salon moment, it’s probably because they have taken the time to keep up with regular trimming. So this is your reminder to stop putting of that trim your hair desperately needs and book in with us!
