Split Ends: When Is It Time for a Trim?
October 12, 2026 · Dominican Hairdresser Johanny
Split ends don't repair themselves. Here is how to spot them and what to do.
What split ends are
Split ends happen when the protective outer layer of the hair wears away and the strand splits. Heat, color, friction and dryness all contribute.
Signs you need a trim
Ends that look thin, feel rough, tangle easily or won't hold a style are telling you it's time.
Why trims help growth
A split can travel up the strand. Trimming regularly removes damage early, so you keep more length in the long run.
Book your trim
A quick trim paired with a blowout leaves your hair looking fresh and full. Walk in or request an appointment for a haircut.
