Let’s cover some myths when it comes to haircuts:
Myth: Cutting your hair makes it grow faster.
Reality: Hair growth occurs at the scalp level, so cutting the ends doesn’t affect growth rate. However, regular trims prevent breakage, making hair look thicker and healthier.
Myth: You don’t need regular haircuts if you’re growing your hair out.
Reality: Skipping trims to grow your hair can result in split ends and breakage, which might mean you have to cut off more hair in the long run.
Myth: Shaving your hair makes it grow back thicker.
Reality: Shaved hair gives an illusion of thickness as it grows back, but it doesn’t actually change the number of hair follicles or the thickness of the hair shafts.
PS, take this into consideration with waxing as well. If you get a waxing service done, the hair does not grow back thicker!
