The Myth Many believe that frequent trimming accelerates hair growth. This belief is passed down through generations, and even some professionals recommend frequent cuts to achieve faster growth.
The Reality Hair grows from follicles under the scalp. The hair ends do not participate in the growth process. Growth speed depends on:
- Genetics – growth hormones are genetically determined.
- Health and Diet – vitamin deficiencies can reduce growth.
- Hair Care – damaged ends do not affect the growth rate.
Trimming only removes damaged or split ends, promoting a healthy look but not speed. It is a visual illusion; after a cut, hair looks more even and thicker, creating the impression of faster growth.
What actually helps
- A diet rich in proteins and vitamins.
- Eliminating stress.
- Scalp massages to improve blood circulation.
Conclusion Frequent trimming does not affect the speed of hair growth. This is determined by internal factors like genetics and health. Cutting only improves the appearance without changing the growth rate.
