Well the answer isn't a simple one, it depends. Personally, I if I feel like my ends look horrible and thin I just can't resist trimming. So I trim about once or twice a year.
Popular youtuber andreaschoice (pictured above) says she doesn't trim her hair yet her hair appears healthy and is definitely long.
In comparison glamtwinz334, who are also well known youtubers trim their hair more often, they recommend trims 2-3 times a year.
When thinking about trimming your hair I think it's important to ask yourself the following questions.
Is it breaking more than its growing? - if yes, cut it.
Does it look unhealthy? - if yes, cut it.
Are your ends see through? - if yes, then cut it.
If your answer is yes to any one of those three then I'd consider it time for a trim.
What do you think? How often do you trim your hair?

Since my hair is fine and fragile, I just dust every couple of months for prevention. I don't do more than 1/4" so I still get to keep the other 3/4"+ I've grown in that two months, and don't have to worry. But that's because going too long on my hair ends up in two times the damage. If I could get away with trimming once or twice per year, I definitely would!

Interesting, I like the idea of that! With my heat use I think it could keep my ends looking nice if I were to dust my ends more often.
DeleteGreat post. When I was relaxing, I would trim only once a year. Now that I am transitioning, I trim 3 times a year. Because I kept my hair moisturized, minimized direct heat, and kept it protected, I didn't need to trim much at all.
ReplyDeleteThats good! If I minimised my direct heat I think I could trim less often.
DeleteI used to trim after every relaxer touch up but stopped doing that and now only trim when necessary. I haven't trimmed since November of last year and my ends were fine the last time I checked.
ReplyDeleteWow, your hair must be in great condition then!
DeleteI cut my hair when I really intend on trimming. Its a terrible habit. Be sure never to pick it up. Ha-ha! This year, I've forced myself to put the scissors down and only trim after relaxing---about every 3 months.

Haha, I always get so tempted to have a cheeky trim but i'll resist the urge!
DeleteGreat post! I think trimming definitely depends on the individual. I trim often but I only cut off small amounts at a time x
ReplyDeleteI agree!
