Benefits to having a trim

1.    Eliminates split-ends

By trimming regularly, you can ensure that your hair stays looking great and is free from dry ends. Some hair professionals advice trimming every 8 to twelve weeks especially for longer hair. Trimming will keep hair healthy and encourage strength so that hair isn’t vulnerable to breakage as opposed to dry and splitting ends.

2.   Retains length

If hair is trimmed often, it will grow healthier and experience less breakage which is excellent.

3.   Simpler to style

Hair that looks healthier is better to style and finishes off a styled look without having to hide dry ends.

4.   Less tangles

When brushing or combing through hair that hasn’t got any split ends will result in less tangles and easier manageability and the comb or brush will glide through easier than if the hair ends was split.
