A Trim Every Two Months for Split Ends
Booking a small trim every eight weeks or so to keep split ends from travelling up. A grooming habit, not a growth remedy.
Small, regular trims
Split ends can travel up the hair shaft and cause breakage. A small trim every two months removes damaged tips and keeps hair looking neat.
Ask for just a centimetre, not a big cut. Trimming does not make hair grow faster, but it helps keep the length you have. This is a grooming habit and not a treatment for hair problems.
