Why the Myth Persists
What Trims Actually Do
How to Trim While Growing Out
SPEAKER_00Well, hey there, and welcome to Straight from the Stylist Chair. This is a special QA series here on All About Hair. I'm your host, Denise Keilitz, and I'm here to answer the real questions clients ask in the salon so you can feel confident and love every visit. Alright, and welcome back to Straight from the Stylist Chair, where I break down the hair myths that we've all heard. Today's question is Does cutting hair make it grow faster? Ooh, my goodness, if I had a dime for every time, I have heard this. Here's the biggie. Does trimming your hair actually make it grow faster? Because a lot of people for a long time believed that frequent cuts would speed up growth. Why do we believe this? Because you know, here's the truth. Hair grows from the scalp, not from the ends. But this myth just won't die. Wow. I don't know if it's like stylists want you in their chair more frequently or what. I have no idea. Here's where I think it comes from is that the shorter your hair is, the more that you can see that it needs a haircut. Maybe. I don't know. Cuts don't really change your follicles, but they do stop the split ends from traveling upwards. So it does keep your hair stronger and it helps it reach longer lengths without breaking. And I guess that's why people are saying get it cut more frequently. However, if you do go that route and you get it cut and you're in there every eight weeks or whatever, and you're growing your hair out as long as it can possibly get, make sure your stylus isn't taking more than they need to. If you're taking care of your hair and it doesn't have split ins, but you're just going in there because you want it to feel better, make sure they're only trimming off like a quarter of an inch. They do not have to take an inch off or two inches off every time you sit in their chair. You need to control the situation. So just make sure that you tell them I'll trust you to take off a quarter of an inch, half inch at the most, but I need to trust you. I'll be in your chair every eight weeks, but I need to trust you. And they need to do that so you do trust them. So here's the here's what the bottom line regular trims will not speed up your hair growth, but they will help you keep what you've already grown. Hey, thanks for hanging out with me today. I hope today's chat helps you walk into your next appointment feeling totally confident.
