Why Regular Trims Are Essential for Healthy Hair
We’ve all been there — trying to “grow out” our hair and avoiding trims, hoping those extra weeks or months will give us the length we dream of. But the truth is, skipping trims often works against healthy, beautiful hair. Regular trims are one of the simplest (and most effective!) ways to keep your hair strong, shiny, and easy to style.
Here’s why:
1. Say Goodbye to Split Ends
Split ends happen when the protective outer layer of your hair (the cuticle) becomes damaged. Left untreated, they travel upward, causing breakage and making your hair look frizzy or thin. A quick trim every 6–8 weeks removes split ends before they spread, keeping your hair smooth and polished.
2. Healthier, Fuller Growth
Trimming doesn’t make hair grow faster (that part happens at your scalp), but it does help your hair look longer and fuller by preventing breakage.
3. Easier Styling & Shine
Freshly trimmed ends mean your hair lays better, curls hold longer, and styles look smoother. Plus, trimming away dryness or damage gives hair a natural shine that even the best products can’t fully fake.
4. Keep Your Look Fresh
Whether you rock layers, bangs, or a blunt bob, trims are key to maintaining your shape. Waiting too long between cuts can leave your style looking uneven or grown-out — regular trims keep you feeling polished every day.
5. The Perfect Pairing: Trims + Treatments
For ultimate hair health, combine regular trims with professional treatments. At Cabello Salon, we love recommending Kevin Murphy’s deep-conditioning masks or Bumble and bumble’s strengthening treatments to keep hair nourished between cuts. This duo is the secret to strong, salon-fresh hair all year long.
How Often Should You Trim?
Short styles or bangs: every 4–6 weeks
Medium to long hair: every 6–10 weeks
Growing your hair out: still aim for a trim every 8–12 weeks to prevent split ends
