All About Hair: To Trim Or Not To Trim

Trimming Of The Ends

So, the age old question is: does trimming your ends make your hair grow faster?  Some swear by regular trims and some swear them off.  I've done tons of research and have come to my own conclusion; I do not believe that trimming your ends will make your hair grow any faster.

Hair grows from your scalp, not from your ends.  Nothing you do to the ends of your hair will make your hair grow any faster.  I will be careful in making this statement, because there is indeed some benefit to keeping your ends trimmed.  Trimming your ends keeps a neater appearance and prevents split ends from splitting higher up the the hair shaft and and causing additional damage.

With that being said, it's not necessary to trim all of your hair on a regular basis for hair growth.  If you're not so concerned about neatness, you can bypass regular trim sessions and go for the "seek and destroy" method.  This method consists of locating only the hairs that are split and snipping them off.  This method prevents you from unnecessarily snipping of healthy hairs and retaining more of your length in the long run.

How To:  Section your hair into small sections. I usually part down the middle and then section each side into 4 smaller sections.  I check each section for split ends and cut only the ends that are damaged.

For those of you that live by trims, this post isn't meant to discourage you from your routine.  Everyone is entitled to do what they feel works best for them.  This is just another trimming option.
