We are all unique

Everyone has unique haircare, diet, genetics, lifestyle, and environment. So why should a 3-month haircutting schedule apply to everyone?

There’s no one answer for this commonly asked question. Let me explain why. It can vary for the same individual based on their heat use, stress levels, and hairstyles in a given period.

Base your haircutting on how your hair feels and looks.

Hair grows, on average, half an inch per month. If you cut an inch every 3 months, that leaves you half an inch of growth. You’re cutting most of your hair growth progress. That means you get 2 inches of growth in a whole year if you cut your hair every 3 months! This false belief of cutting your hair so often is why the people become fixated with products to grow hair faster. Is this misinformation intentional to sell more hair products?

Tell signs for a hair trim

Ask yourself these questions before reaching for the scissors:

Updated growth December From armpit length to waist in 10 months

Is it product build-up?

Can I do a hair detox for the dryness or dull appearance? Hold off the scissors until you try a hair detox.

Are my ends thinning at the bottom?
This is a tell your hemline needs a trim.

Are my ends discolored?
Your hair can use a trim, but this only sometimes indicates you need a trim. It can happen from old hair color. But it can also occur from thinning ends.

Does my hair tangle quickly?
Can I do a hair dusting to catch the split ends, causing the hair to feel tangled? Hold off the scissors until you try this trimming technique.

Do shorter pieces appear on the counter or floor after I brush my hair?
This usually means hair breakage occurs at mid areas on your hair strands. It can be from brushing too rough or overprocessing, using too much heat, or too high heat for your hair type. I’ve salvaged bad breakage before because I couldn’t get myself to try a pixie cut after being impulsive and bleaching after I had used Henna.

It would help if you practiced gentle brushing from the bottom up. Never skip oiling your ends. Use lamellar water every two weeks—a hair mask weekly. Try Redken Acidic Perfecting Concentrate pre-styling if you’re still using heat. Try a bonding shampoo like Olaplex. This Revolution shampoo is a Target bonding shampoo worth trying.

I can’t count the number of times ladies ask me how to grow their hair faster or what shampoo I use for my hair growth or healthy hair. I hope these blog posts explain how you can reach your hair goals.

Comment any questions I didn’t answer. 🙂
