Have you ever been advised to trim your hair regularly to make it grow faster? Yes, trimming, or trimming the ends of your hair a little bit, is believed to accelerate hair growth.
It turns out that trimming doesn't directly accelerate hair growth. This is because hair growth occurs in the hair roots and scalp, while trimming is done at the ends of the hair. So, there's no direct link between the ends of your hair and the roots.
New York City-based cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Dendy Engelman, explains that hair grows from our scalp, so cutting off damaged and dead ends has no direct impact on hair growth.
Erica Conan, Director of Education at ColorProof, explains that there's no magic power in hair clippers that can make hair grow faster when trimming.
Trimming is still good for your hair.
While trimming your hair regularly won't necessarily make your hair grow faster, you can still enjoy the benefits of trimming.
According to Mind Body Green, when you trim, you remove dry, damaged, and split ends. Damaged ends can actually hinder hair growth.
Hairstylist Sunnie Brook explains that when your hair ends split, the hair shaft gradually splits, resulting in hair damage and slower hair growth.
When you remove damaged ends, your hair will become healthier. Healthy hair tends to grow faster and thicker, ladies.
Regular trimming will help strengthen your hair shaft. When your hair breaks less often, your hair shaft will be able to maintain its length and grow longer.
So, it can be concluded that trimming doesn't directly accelerate hair growth, but rather maintains the health of your hair shaft. A healthy hair shaft will lead to better hair growth.
Are you ready to be more diligent about trimming your hair ends? The good news is, you can get your trims done at trusted places like Spectrum Color Bar, which offers a pleasant private salon.
Furthermore, Gaya Spa Wellness will also open its newest branch at the Pullman Hotel Bandung on August 1, 2025.
