No one doubts that a good trim can revive damaged hair, especially after the summer period. But before that, it can also be the solution to actually avoiding getting splitted ends. Get a trim before your holidays and enjoy the warm weather without having to spend the fall and winter repairing the damage. Discover all the benefits by doing so.

Protecting your hair against sun damage should start long before the summer season. According to the experts, before spending time in the sun, it is highly recommended to visit your stylist to eliminate split ends. Sun and water can be damaging, leading to faded color, split ends and a brittle, dry texture. And by the time your hair is showing signs of needing a trim, the damage has already been done.

The sun effects on the hair will do extra damage to hair that’s already dry, so if you remove those dead ends, you’ll be in better shape.

For this reason, both before and after holidays, the best protocol is to trim your hair. It is enough with 2 centimeters and scheduling a trim every three to four months will help maintain the shape of your style, remove naturally splitting ends and avoid hair dehydration problems.

Myths and common errors

Trimming your ends won’t make your hair grow faster. That’s a myth and common error about growing and maintaining hair. However, opposite of what many think, skipping regular trims does not help either in your hair care routine. By not doing so at the right moment, you may end up chopping off more hair than you anticipate by ‘trimming as needed’.
