How Regular Trims Can Actually Help Your Hair Grow Faster
Debunking the “Never Cut Your Hair” Myth with Expert Tips from Venelle Salon and Spa in Park Slope
If you’ve ever heard that cutting your hair makes it grow faster, you might have been skeptical—and rightly so! Hair actually grows from the follicle beneath the scalp, so trimming your ends doesn’t directly speed up growth. But here’s the truth: regular trims are essential for healthy hair and can help your hair appear longer and stronger faster.
At Venelle Salon and Spa, our stylists know how to maintain your hair’s health so it can grow its best. Here’s why trimming is a crucial part of your hair care routine and how it supports your growth goals.
The Myth: “Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster”
Hair grows about half an inch per month from your scalp. Cutting your ends doesn’t affect that growth process, but it does influence the health and appearance of your hair.
Why Regular Trims Help Your Hair Look and Feel Longer
1. Prevent Split Ends From Traveling Up the Strand
Split ends weaken hair and cause breakage. If left unchecked, they can move up the hair shaft, leading to more damage and shorter-looking hair. Trimming removes these damaged ends before they worsen.
2. Reduce Breakage and Frizz
Healthy ends mean less tangling and breakage. When hair is strong and smooth, it retains length better.
3. Promote a Fuller, More Polished Look
Regular trims maintain your haircut’s shape and style, making your hair look thicker, healthier, and more vibrant.
How Often Should You Get a Trim?
For most hair types, a trim every 6–8 weeks is ideal to keep ends fresh and prevent damage. If you’re growing your hair out, trimming every 8–12 weeks can help maintain length without sacrificing health.
Venelle’s Approach to Healthy Hair Maintenance
Our stylists assess your hair’s condition and recommend trims that fit your goals. We also advise on nourishing treatments, professional products, and styling tips that protect your strands and support growth.
