No, hair itself cannot grow when cut. Cutting hair doesn't make it longer.
Hair growth originates from the root beneath the scalp, not the ends. Think of it this way:
- Hair grows from the follicle: The follicle is under the skin.
- Cutting the ends doesn't affect the root: The root is where growth happens.
According to existing evidence, hair grows from the root, so cutting hair from the ends of your head won't make a difference in how fast your hair can grow. However, removing split ends improves the hair's appearance.
Here's a simple breakdown:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Growth Origin | Hair grows from the root within the hair follicle, located beneath the scalp. |
| Cutting Impact | Cutting the ends of the hair does not affect the growth process at the root. |
| Visual Effect | Trimming split ends or damaged hair can improve the overall look and health. |
While cutting your hair won't speed up growth, it's still essential for hair health:
- Removes Split Ends: Prevents further damage and breakage.
- Maintains Shape: Keeps your hairstyle looking its best.
- Improves Appearance: Makes hair look thicker and healthier.
