How many times have you uttered the phrase, “Just cut off the dead stuff,” while perched in your stylist’s chair? If your stylist took those words to heart, you might leave with a freshly shaved head—definitely not what you had in mind!
Here’s the dark truth: once your hair emerges from its follicular lair, it's no longer alive. Those strands that have grown over the months are long past their prime and can’t heal from damage on their own, unlike the rest of your living cells. This is where the magic of regular haircuts comes into play!
Why Haircuts are Your Hair's Best Friend:
Prevent Split Ends: Regular trims keep those pesky split ends at bay, stopping them from traveling up the hair shaft.
Maintain Shape: Keep your hairstyle looking as fresh and polished as the day you walked out of the salon.
Promote Healthy Growth: Frequent cuts can help your hair grow stronger by removing damaged, brittle ends.
So, embrace the ritual of regular trims to keep your tresses looking vibrant and lively! And remember, your stylist is there to help you navigate this enchanting journey of haircare.

Split ends might seem like a small annoyance, but they’re more like the creeping tendrils of a sinister curse! These fiendish splits form at the ends of your hair as the strands are tormented by styling, washing, and chemical treatments. Once a split end emerges, it’s not just hanging out—it starts inching its way up the hair shaft, creating a haunted house of broken, thin ends that no one wants to visit!
The only true remedy for this unruly specter is the “stainless steel” treatment: a fresh haircut! But fear not, there are magical potions to ward off split ends and temporarily mend those that have already appeared. Neuma’s neuMoisture line is like an enchanted elixir, replenishing moisture and shielding against UV and heat damage. Meanwhile, the neuVolume line works like a protective charm, reducing breakage and taming static, while strengthening and hydrating your locks.
Now, onto the timing of these magical interventions! Experts suggest a trim every six to twelve weeks to keep the split ends at bay. Hair typically grows about ½ inch a month, so if you’re maintaining length, aim for cuts every six to eight weeks. Those growing their mane should schedule every ten to twelve weeks. For short cuts that lose their shape quickly, frequent visits are necessary—every four to six weeks, or even every two to three weeks for pixie cuts and men’s styles.
Hair texture also plays a role; fine or chemically treated hair may need more frequent trims to stave off damage. To stay on top of your hair’s health, consider pre-booking your next appointment before you leave the salon.
