Some people cut hair wet because wet hair is more stretched, so it is easier to see and make a clean cut. Otherwise they will grow dull, which defeats the purpose of getting hair shears. Once you have hair shears, don’t use them for anything besides your hair.Do NOT use your office or kitchen scissors on your hair, under any circumstances! Any other scissors will leave a jagged end that is far more prone to splitting in the future. Really sharp scissors like these are non-negotiable in fact, if you aren’t willing to get a pair, you’re better off not trimming your hair at all.
Only cut your hair with professional hair shears.You are completely in control of how much length you take off (we’ve all had a hair stylist take off way more than we asked for!) And once you have the right tools, it’s free! You can quickly save hundreds of dollars in your first couple years of trimming your own hair. Trimming your hair can be intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but there are so many benefits. Not to mention, haircuts can be expensive! That’s why NaturAll is bringing you tips on how to trim your hair yourself. Setting up 4 haircuts a year takes time and effort. We’re lazy. Sorry, did we call you out? It's okay, we feel it too! It's just the truth. So you retain more length when you trim your hair regularly.Ģ. For example, if you double the time between trims to 8 months, your hair will grow 4 inches- but you could lose 2 inches or more to breakage and split ends, as opposed to two small trims of ¼ inch each in those 8 months. Additionally, your split ends will lead to breakage in the meantime, reducing your length even more.
If you keep your hair healthy, a trim will remove less than ¼ to ½ an inch, leaving with you with most of your growth.īut if you don’t stay on top of trims and split ends, they will spread up the hair shaft and you’ll need to take off more length when you finally do trim your hair. In optimal conditions your hair growth about half an inch a month, so in 4 months your hair can grow about 2 inches. Trims do remove a small amount of your length, but let’s do the math. Trimming your hair feels like losing length. You probably think, "the longer I go without trimming my hair, the longer my hair will be," right? Not exactly. Does this sound like you? It's probably for one of these two reasons:ġ. But most of us don’t trim our hair as often as we should. If you treat your hair exceedingly well you might not accumulate split ends for 6-8 months. Most stylists recommend that you trim your hair once every 3-4 months, depending on the health of your hair. Why don't we trim our hair as often as we should? Your hair will look its best when you trim it regularly. Split ends also make your hair (particularly your ends) look scraggly, frizzy, and unhealthy.To prevent tangles and resulting breakage, it's essential to trim off split ends and single strand knots. Tangles are enough of a problem on their own, but they also increase breakage, especially if you don’t detangle gently.Split ends and single strand knots catch and snag more easily on each other, increasing tangles.When you don’t trim split ends, they continue to split all the way up the hair shaft. This results in the loss of the entire strand, rather than just the end. Split ends are caused by natural wear and tear on your hair, and while you can prevent split ends from occurring as quickly, it is impossible to completely eliminate them.
