A hair expert told GB News: 'Getting a regular trim will do you the world of good'

Taking care of your hair at home is essential for luscious locks, but sometimes professional input is essential.

A hair expert spoke exclusively to GB News about her top tips for your next trip to the salon. Women have been advised to get their hair trimmed every six to eight weeks.


Editorial Director at RUSH Hair, Tina Farey, stated: "I'll say it once and I'll probably keep saying it for the rest of my life - listen to your stylist when they tell you to get a trim.

"If your vision is long, thick, healthy hair then getting a regular trim will do you the world of good."

As for how often women should be hitting the hair salon, the expert recommends getting a trim every six to eight weeks "depending on the condition of their hair".

While cutting your hair may seem counterproductive if you want to grow it, strategic trims are essential for healthy growth.

Tina explained: "Frequently getting trims will prevent split ends from travelling further up the hair strand, which causes the hair's overall structure to become weakened.

"Something as small as getting an inch off when you visit the salon can completely transform the appearance of your hair, leaving you with thicker, healthier-looking locks.

"We're saying goodbye to damaged hair in 2025 and the bob's reign is set to continue far into 2025.

"So who knows - if your hair is in desperate need of a chop, then this could be your year to experiment with a shorter hairstyle! I promise you - your hair will thank you."

If you're looking to improve your hair or have any hair concerns, it's always best to consult your hairstylist or another professional who can provide tailored advice.

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specialises in treating the skin, hair and nails. A trichologist deals with several conditions of the hair and scalp.
