Trimming your hair The Fail: "Regular trims" are rarely regular. That appointment is inevitably pushed back or avoided altogether, which is how trimming your own hair at home happens. We've all done the quick bang trim, or snipped the split ends from the end of a braid or ponytail -- it just so much easier than blowing off another appointment or risking a bad cut. Once again, your attempt to save time and money is actually making the matter worse, i.e. more breakage. And you're not even really trimming your hair.
The Fix: At-home trims don't remove damage, they maintain shape -- assuming you're actually able to keep the shape. That's nearly impossible when you're cutting at a weird angle with the same scissors you cut paper with. Your stylist gets paid top dollar for a reason, including his or her ability to see all angles of your hair, so your best bet is to do some damage control before your next hair appointment. Instead of taking shears into your own hands, invest in an overnight hair mask , like Tigi Hair Reborn Reparative Nocturnal Therapy, to seal your ends and stop splitting until your stylist can get rid of 'em for good.
