Does the more you cut your hair, the faster it grows?

Everyone wants to have a head of black hair, but hair that is too long will affect normal life, so it needs to be trimmed. However, some people have a feeling that the more they cut their hair, the faster it grows. For this reason, many people often feel upset about this problem, because in their opinion, it costs a lot to cut hair. The more often you cut your hair, the faster it will grow, and the cost of repairing the hair will increase. But is this really the case?

The more you cut it, the faster it grows?

This statement is not credible.

Hair has its own growth cycle, which generally goes through three stages: growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase, and the cycle will repeat unless it is disturbed by internal or external influences, such as endocrine disorders, elevated androgen, mechanical damage, etc.

Hair is produced from hair follicles, goes through a growth period of 2 to 8 years, and then enters a regression period. The hair follicle bulb will gradually separate from the hair papilla, the hair matrix cells will stop dividing and multiplying, and the hair follicles will begin to shrink. At this time, the hair will grow very slowly or even stop growing. After 2 to 3 weeks, the hair will fall out.

Of course, during the normal growth cycle, as the hair falls out, a hair follicle will grow again and enter the next growth phase. It can be seen that the growth of hair depends on the hair follicles. Hair cutting only trims the hair ends and does not affect the hair follicles and scalp, so it naturally will not make the hair grow faster.

The more you cut, the denser they grow?

This statement has no scientific basis.

Hair grows from follicles. If a follicle has a strong ability to absorb nutrients, it can grow 3 to 4 hairs. If it is damaged or cannot absorb nutrients smoothly, the hair that grows will be less, thinner, and easier to fall off. And the hair follicles do not affect each other.

In other words, whether hair grows thick or not is closely related to the health of hair follicles. However, the amount of hair is fixed at birth and cannot grow again. It can only decrease due to internal or external reasons. Hair follicles are a non-renewable resource and once lost they will never come back.

From this we can see that cutting your hair will not make it thicker because it basically does not affect the hair follicles. The truly effective way to grow thicker hair is to start from the root and provide nutrition to the hair follicles.

Do you need frequent haircuts?

In summary, is there no point in cutting hair?

Of course not. In addition to trimming and making your hair more "stylish", the biggest benefit of cutting your hair is that it makes your hair better!

Because regular hair trimming can not only cut off the hair ends that may be split or damaged, but also stimulate the metabolism of hair cells, making hair more beautiful and healthier. If you don't trim your hair for a long time, your scalp may be "overburdened", especially for girls, the hair at the hairline will become sparse. Moreover, insufficient nutrition supply to the hair will also affect the hair follicles. In severe cases, the hair follicles will be damaged and cause hair loss.

Your hair should be trimmed at least once every three months. If you have short hair and want to grow it longer, you should trim it once a month. Oily hair needs to be trimmed more frequently. This can prevent hair damage and make hair healthier. Although dry hair can be trimmed later, it is best to moisturize and care for it during trimming to prevent the hair from becoming too dry, causing it to become dry and yellow and easy to fall out.

It can be seen that hair cutting also requires scientific methods. You must pay more attention to these little things in life and pay more attention to them, so that your hair can get better and better!

Dr. Han concluded:

Cutting hair does not bring direct benefits to hair follicles, but it may cause indirect harm. Hair follicles are non-renewable, so we must take good care of them. If you want to make your hair thicker, you need to repair the hair follicles from the root so that they can better absorb nutrients, and then you can really achieve the effect of thickening your hair!
