Should you cut your own hair?

The hack
Can “micro-trimming” your cut up ends make your hair stronger and longer, and assist you to lower down on journeys to the hairdresser?

The check
Cut up ends, brought on by the hair shaft changing into brittle and weak – typically from warmth styling or chemical processing – are extremely annoying and quite common. Actually, I as soon as discovered a strand of hair with seven cut up ends: it was like discovering a four-leaf clover – besides it wasn’t.

Very similar to a chunk of rope, over time the ends turn into weak and finally fray, so in concept slicing them off can stop additional fraying and enhance the general energy of the hair.

I do have a number of pointers, although. First, you want excellent lighting to see the splits; and also you additionally want some very sharp hairdressing scissors.

In case your hair is curly like mine, it could be simpler to straighten it first (which is unhealthy in your hair, however think about this a one-off). Subsequent, take a piece of hair roughly 5cm vast and maintain it between your index and center finger – it's best to be capable to see the shorter bits that stick out. Now, merely trim throughout the lock and snip off these pesky cut up ends. Et voilà!

The decision
A tough sure. That is one thing that I do recurrently, about as soon as a month, in between my traditional six- to eight-week trims on the salon.
