Its a question youve probably wondered plenty of times before: Does trimming hair make it grow faster?

Sadly, the answer is no.

But regular trims are still crucial for getting longer, stronger strands.

[Splitting] can cause your hair to weaken and break, delaying hair growth.

The health of the scalp and hair follicles is actually the most important factor in healthy hair growth.

Benefits of Regularly Trimming Your Hair

As mentioned, regular trims are crucial for getting longer hair.

Maintaining regular trims will allow for stronger strands, says Redway.

When your hair breaks less, it will keep its length and eventually start to grow.

One of the biggest barriers to growing long hair is split ends and damage.

By eliminating damaged or dead ends, it also helps your hair look better and thicker."

How Often Should I Trim My Hair?

Ideally, Redway says a healthy trim cycle is recommended every six weeks.

However, hitting the salon that frequently isnt always realistic.

If you want to grow your hair out, wait five or six months in between trims.

But if you start seeing damage before the five-month mark, see your stylist ASAP.

TRESemme Beauty-Full Strength Shampoo and Conditioner is designed to help strengthen strands from within.

Taking care of your scalp is the key to boosting hair growth.

For faster and healthier hair growth, I recommend the Nutrafol oral supplement.

Trimming your ends is a great way to keep your hair healthy and promote hair growth, Redway says.

Wearing various hairstyles, including ponytails, can cause breakage and split ends.

Split ends can then travel up your hair shaft, causing your hair to break in multiple sections.
