We all desire long, healthy locks that we can flaunt, twist, and turn into fashionable hairstyles, and the best advice we get is to have regular hair trimming. People have always believed that if they cut their hair every few days, it will grow longer. Curious as to if this is true, let’s find out!

The answer is no, frequent trimming will not grow your hair; it will not stimulate hair development because cutting your hair does not alter your hair’s follicles, which affects hair growth. So, how will something that has nothing to do with your scalp cause your hair to grow?
So, what’s the point of going to regular trimming sessions?
Regular trims will not make your hair grow quicker, but they will make it look healthier, thicker, and shiner by removing all the dead hair. Trimming the hair on a regular basis encourages it to grow in the appropriate direction while also maintaining the texture and length. Those who are prone to split ends should get their hair trimmed on a regular basis since split ends make the hair weaker, causing it to break more easily and hindering hair development.
Snipping those dead ends will also highlight your haircut, give you the appropriate hair length, and make them seem bouncer. Don’t worry about taking off a centimetre; your hair grows 1 to 1.5 centimetres every month on average, so you’ll still have long hair a month after your haircut. Tell your hairdresser to ‘dust your hair’ if you don’t want him to mess with your hair length at all; this just eliminates split ends, dead, and damaged hair and has no effect on your hair length.
So, if trimming your hair won’t make it grow faster, what will?
Nothing beats a relaxing oil head massage. When we massage our hair, we are actually working on the follicles, which encourage hair development. When you massage your scalp, your blood circulation improves, delivering the necessary nutrients and oxygen to your hair follicles, resulting in hair growth. If you’re looking for healthful massage oil, consider coconut oil, castor oil blended with any carrier oil, or almond oil. A weekly massage might help keep dull hair at bay.
It’s pointless to have long hair if it’s limp, dry, and dull. It is critical that hair be thick and strong in order to seem long. You’ll need a well-balanced diet with plenty of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc to do this. If you don’t eat well, you won’t have healthy long hair, therefore include plenty of green leafy vegetables, fruits, and, of course, plenty of water in your diet.
Amla is an age-old substance that is known to promote hair growth. You can consume it, which is good for both hair and skin, or you can apply it in the form of a paste. To form a smooth paste, combine 2 teaspoons amla powder, 2 teaspoons shikakai powder, and a little water in a bowl. Make sure it doesn’t get too wet. Wait 45 minutes after applying the mixture to your scalp and hair. After that, simply shampoo your hair with regular water. This routine can be done once a week.
