Here’s the thing: Everyone thinks they can go longer without a trim than recommended by a stylist because all they see is length. And if length is your goal, we get that it’s hard to part with even a few precious inches. But hear us out. Regular trims on natural hair is the key to strong, healthy hair in the long run. The less you trim, the more you’ll have chop off when you do finally make your way into the stylist’s chair. Why? Split ends will have taken over more of the hair shaft, causing your stylist to have to chop off more to restore evenness, shape, and fullness.
