Importance Of A Trim

Hair Salon Services in Melbourne, FL

As my hair stylist pushes the pedal to raise my chair, I can’t help but notice the frizz fest which is my hair in the mirror. It’s not only dull and lifeless, but my split ends have split ends. With a worrisome tone, my stylist asks when was the last time I was here. I nervously mumbled six months. I heard silence for a second, followed by a sigh and then she began cutting. I clearly have waited too long in-between trims. There are several reasons sometimes we don’t give our hair the routine maintenance it deserves. It can be hard with our hectic schedules to make it to the hairdresser or maybe we don’t want to spend money on “just a trim.” Some of us are desperately trying to grow our hair out after a regretful short cut or if you’re like me all of the above.

Regular trims are vital to hair health, whether you are trying to grow it out or maintain a certain hairstyle. Just ask, Julianna Stafford, Master Hairstylist and Salon Lead at Essentials Medispa. She explains that trims are very essential because they allow your hair to grow by getting rid of the dry brittle ends, which keeps your hair healthy and eliminates breakage. The problem I experienced because of my procrastination was they had to take a lot off because of how damaged my hair was. According to Julianna, almost always, if you wait past the point of a regular trims you will need inches off instead of the minimal.”

When it comes to the timeline of when one should get a maintenance trim, Julianna says it differs for everyone. “There are so many different scenarios, I personalize what each of my clients’ needs are; how much maintenance do they want, what is their lifestyle, how much heat do they use on their hair.” The answers to these questions allows her to decide how frequently they should visit the salon.” She suggests 3-5 weeks for someone with a shorter style or a couple weeks longer for those with longer styles. She only recommends people wait 12 weeks if they have very healthy hair and don’t want a lot of maintenance.

These questions also help stylists decide what products are right for your hair. Some products are a necessity to keep hair healthy and hydrated with the daily abuse we put it through. Julianna says that products are so important to her. “I’m not the type to push clients to purchase items that their hair doesn’t need. Every individual should use a leave in, especially if you live in Florida. There is always heat, the sun can damage our hair like it does our skin. If you are in a colder climate, like me.
