I continue to answer questions that come to me in the beauty office, and this time it is related to hair, especially since it is one of the keys to always looking beautiful. Most of the time it is either lack of time or laziness to go to the hairdresser, but the truth is that many of us do not know that we need to cut our hair?
To address this question I reached out to Ana Martinez, Educational Manager By Frank Provost, who assures that there is no universal rule for all hair. “The ideal frequency for your haircut varies depending on your hair type and desired style.” Of course, there are some general recommendations that we must take into account:
– short hair: Every 4-6 weeks to maintain shape
– medium hair: Every 6-8 weeks to eliminate split ends and maintain style
– long hair: Every 8-12 weeks for healthy maintenance and to avoid breakouts
The expert assures that we must take into account Your hair condition: “If it’s subtle and more sensitive, it’s important.” You need to pay close attention to it and give it the care it deserves, especially now that the coldest months of the year are starting “Cold, dry air can dehydrate hair, making it more brittle and prone to split ends.”
“Also, the use of hats and dryers can contribute to moisture loss,” he explains. Therefore, the key to maintaining healthy hair is to “adapt to the seasons” with specific care, adequate hydration and protection.
Does hair grow faster if cut frequently?
This is, without a doubt, a great myth about hair. But I am sorry to tell you that this has nothing to do with reality. “Cutting your hair less often doesn’t affect its growth rate,” Ana Martinez tells me.
“Hair grows from the roots and cutting it does not affect this process.. However, regular haircuts can help keep your hair healthy and free of split ends, which can give the impression that it grows faster by preventing breakage and preserving length.” In short, the frequency of haircuts doesn’t affect growth, but they do affect your hair. affects health.
