Why Regular Trims Matter More Than You Think
By Nelly

As we step into the holiday season—a time filled with gatherings, photos, and a little extra sparkle—it’s the perfect moment to focus on the foundation of truly luxurious hair: regular trims.
Many people think that avoiding trims will help their hair grow longer, but the opposite is usually true. When ends are neglected, hair starts to look dull, dry, and uneven, no matter how much you style it.
At La Rouge Hair & Spa, we see this all the time. Clients come in wondering why their hair feels thin at the ends or why their length never looks as smooth as they’d like. The answer is simple: trims don’t take away length… they protect it. Healthy ends are the secret to elegant, glossy, holiday-ready hair.
Let’s take a closer look at why trims are essential in luxury hair care—and how often you really need one.
Why Regular Trims Matter
1. They Stop Split Ends in Their Tracks
Split ends may be tiny, but they can travel quickly up the hair shaft, causing:
- Frizz
- Breakage
- Rough, dry texture
- A dull appearance (even after styling)
A quick trim removes damage before it spreads—leaving your hair smoother, softer, and far easier to style for all those seasonal events.
2. Your Hair Looks Fuller and More Polished
Tired, frayed ends make even the thickest hair look thin at the bottom.
A clean, precise trim helps restore:
- Shape
- Fullness
- A healthy, luxurious silhouette
Most guests are amazed at how much thicker and more refined their hair looks after just a light dusting.
3. Trims Support Longer, Healthier Growth
Trimming doesn’t make hair grow faster—but it does help you keep the length you achieve.
When ends don’t break, you gain length naturally.
Healthy ends = longer, stronger hair over time.
4. Your Style Holds Its Shape
Layers lose movement, bangs fall into your eyes, and blunt ends flip unpredictably when they’re overdue for attention.
Even the most beautifully crafted haircut needs maintenance to stay sleek and intentional.
So… How Often Should You Book a Trim?
At La Rouge Hair & Spa, we tailor recommendations based on your hair type, lifestyle, and goals. Here’s a quick guide:
✂️ To Maintain a Style:
Every 6–8 weeks
Keeps your cut crisp and polished.
✂️ If You’re Growing Your Hair:
Every 10–12 weeks
A soft dusting preserves your length while keeping dryness away.
✂️ For Long Hair:
Every 8–10 weeks
Long hair is more delicate near the ends and needs consistent care.
✂️ For Fine or Fragile Hair:
Every 6–8 weeks
Fine hair shows damage quickly and benefits from frequent refreshing.
✂️ For Curly or Wavy Hair:
Every 10–12 weeks
Curls hold shape longer but require trims to prevent tangles and dryness.
✂️ For Color-Treated or Lightened Hair:
Every 6–8 weeks
Color and bleach can weaken the ends, making trims essential for softness and shine.
Signs You’re Due for a Trim
If you’ve noticed any of these recently, it’s time to schedule a visit:
- Rough or dry ends
- Easy tangling
- A style that won’t fall into place
- Thin or uneven-looking ends
- Tiny white dots on the tips
- Persistent frizz, even after styling
These are early signs of splitting—and they move fast if left untreated.

A luxury trim doesn’t mean losing length. Even removing a quarter inch can:
✨ Bring back shine
✨ Reduce frizz
✨ Revive your shape
✨ Make your hair instantly look healthier and more refined
