Why is trimming hair ends important?

One common misconception is that avoiding haircuts will help hair grow faster and appear more luscious. Unfortunately, the reality is different. Split ends cause hair to look untidy and damaged. These splits can result from various factors such as mechanical stress (using hair ties, clips, blow-drying, straightening), coloring, chemical treatments, hair texture, or age—the longer the hair, the more fragile it becomes. Eventually, split ends worsen and travel up the hair shaft, which is why hair professionals recommend regular trims and diligent daily care.

Serum named "Hair Ends Reconstruction" OTIUM MIRACLE REVIVE by ESTEL helps repair damaged hair sections, restoring shine and strength through a unique formula containing Na-PCA, panthenol, vitamin E, and quat-acryl.

Besides such miracle products, a comprehensive hair care routine with suitable shampoos, conditioners, masks, and sprays is essential.

Should you trim hair ends if they don’t split?

To keep hair healthy and maintain haircut shape, experts suggest trimming every month. For those growing their hair out intentionally, trimming every three months is advised. The key is to catch split ends early; otherwise, a stylist might need to cut off several centimeters instead of the recommended small trims.

Lamination treatments can prevent split ends and maintain healthy hair appearance.

The iNEO-CRYSTAL lamination by ESTEL offers instant restoration, infusing hair with vitality, protection, volume, smoothness, elasticity, and crystal-like shine. Recently upgraded, this quick 10-minute procedure also allows experimenting with different hair shades via colored 3D lamination gels.

Trimming frequency based on hair type and length

Split ends and thinning vary by hair type and length, influencing how often you should visit a stylist. For example, those with fine hair experience quicker thinning and should trim every 1-2 months. This advice also applies to individuals with colored hair or frequent heat styling, which can dry out strands. Between salon visits, try the Q3 OIL RICH screening procedure by ESTEL, a beauty treatment based on natural oils like argan, macadamia, and flaxseed, designed for weakened hair after coloring, highlighting, lightening, perming, or straightening. The three-step process includes a two-phase Q3 OIL PRIMER conditioner, Q3 OIL RICH oil cocktail, and Q3 OIL LUXURY shine oil.

Even if you have oily hair, your ends can still be dry because sebum distribution is uneven. Hydration is crucial to prevent weakening. The "Silk Mask for Smoothness and Shine" OTIUM DIAMOND by ESTEL, enriched with ceramides, macadamia oil, vitamin E, and keratin, effectively restores hair structure and protects against damage.

Do you sport a short haircut? Frequent salon visits (about once a month) are necessary not just to avoid split ends but to maintain the style. If you’re growing your hair long, consult your stylist for the best trimming schedule to keep your hairstyle neat during growth. Consistent hair care is vital.

Summer care includes sun protection products like the "Green Tea" hair spray by ESTEL MOHITO, infused with mint, lime, green tea oils, and UV filters.

In autumn, OTIUM AQUA products help lock moisture, prevent static, and add shine and elasticity.

Long hair tends to be more fragile and prone to breakage. Use ESTEL’s OTIUM XXL power products specially formulated for long hair. For instance, the OTIUM XXL power mask promotes softness, elasticity, strength, and vibrant shine with ingredients like pantolactone, beeswax, and vitamin E. The shampoo and balm restore damaged hair, hydrate, and help prevent split ends.

Hair end care after chemical treatments and salon procedures

Chemical processes alter hair structure and frequent perms can cause fragility. If considering a perm, try ESTEL’s innovative FRISAGE COUTURE, safe even for weakened hair due to the BIS-POLAR ACTIVE molecule in its formula. It strengthens hair from within during the perm, reducing weakness and split ends.

Salon treatments focused on hydration are excellent preventive measures. For already damaged ends, restorative procedures like ESTEL THERMOKERATIN keratin treatment are recommended. This process integrates keratin into hair fibers with heat, resulting in denser, softer, and silkier hair from roots to ends by nourishing, hydrating, and smoothing.

Maintain post-treatment hair health with ESTEL KERATIN products: keratin shampoo, mask, and keratin water. The keratin water is especially beneficial in summer, offering UV protection, thermal shielding, color retention, and sealing split ends.
