Fact: Hair grows from the follicles in your scalp, so cutting the ends doesn’t speed it up.
Think of it this way: your hair isn’t like a lawn that grows uniformly from the top down. The active growth happens beneath the surface at the root level. Trimming the ends—which are essentially dead tissue—has no biological effect on the metabolic activity happening in your follicles.
So, why is this myth so persistent?
Regular trims do play a crucial role in hair health, just a different one:
-
They prevent split ends and breakage.
-
By removing damaged ends, your hair appears thicker, healthier, and fuller as it grows.
-
It prevents splits from traveling up the hair shaft, which can lead to more significant breakage.
In short, trims preserve the length you've gained and improve the appearance of your hair, but they don't affect the speed at which it grows from your scalp.
