Reasons to Trim Long Hair

Sometimes, long hair gets damaged by environmental conditions, or specific styling requirements. The results can be severe in the long term. The best way to tell if this is a problem for you is to look at your hair when it's down and examine the density of the hair both at the scalp area and the ends. Does your hair seem to "thin out" the longer it gets? Do you have a lot of split ends? Does it get frizzy and frayed looking at the ends?

There is also the issue of split-ends - a common problem with longer hair. Split-ends can be treated with protein rich conditioners to strengthen the hair, and with anti-frizz serums that coat the hair and bind the ends back together temporarily. But sometimes, trimming is necessary to remove these splits before they get worse.

With long, blunt-cut hair, trimming the ends of the hair is a simple matter of following the established line and removing the damaged ends. Yet with long-layered hairstyles, there is an alternative that works especially well.

Brush out the hair to remove any tangles and section the hair in to workable divisions. Use clips to hold the hair you aren't working with out of your way. Divide the section you're working with into approximately two-inch segments and twist the hair along the length. You'll notice that the layered ends (and the split ends) will stick out from the twist. Following the line of the twist, carefully snip off the split ends along the length of the segment. Do this with all the segments of the section you're working on, and move to a new section.

The result will be a smoother, healthier-looking style, with no loss of length or potential change in the style.

I believe that this is true. I used to have my hair very long and my ends kept spitting very badly. Now that I go to the salon every 4 weeks, my hair is much healthier even though my hair is not as long as desired.
