Does Cutting Hair Help It Grow?
You’ve heard it in the salon. You’ve heard it from your friends. It sounds right, but is it true? Does cutting your hair REALLY make it GROW faster?! Let’s delve deeper and see if it’s actually true, written from an expert’s point of view.
Hair Growth Secrets: Will a Haircut Help?
I love my hair and I change it up pretty frequently. And guess what I am thinking of doing next… Growing it out! I recently cut about 3 inches off and it definitely needed it. My ends were very dry and split. I had some damaged as a result of highlighting and heat styling every day. It seemed like it wasn’t growing and was just stuck at the same length. So, the questions is… will it grow faster now that I got it cut?!
Here’s the thing, getting a haircut or trim helps your hair to look and feel healthier. Getting rid of all those dry, split ends makes a huge difference. Instead of ends continuing to split upward & making the hair feel like it is at a standstill point growth-wise, they are now healthy and shiny! So…when is it going to grow?!
How to Grow Out Your Hair Faster: Start at the Scalp
To answer that question, we have to start at the scalp! Hair growth starts at the follicle, not at the ends. When following a healthy diet and properly cleansing the scalp to promote good, healthy follicles, free of excess oil and debris, the hair will follow suit and have optimum condition for growth!
Trimming the ends helps to promote the appearance of longer, fuller, healthier hair!
A healthy diet for hair growth should include plenty of protein, iron, zinc, and biotin. Therefore, you need to eat more meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, beans, lentils, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
In addition to eating a healthy diet, it is also important to drink plenty of water. Water helps to keep the scalp hydrated, which is essential for hair growth.
So, my “Grow out” plan is to eat right, take care of my scalp and get regular trims. I’ll be Rapunzel in no time, and so will you!
