Trimming-some questions

[lovegan]

Hello all,

Thanks to this forum, i've learned that no trimming is NOT necessary for growing "long hair" but healthier hair.

my question is: do you ladies trim as needed (if split ends appear) or as a preventative measure?

The second question is, if you do have split ends but don't trim them, how could that hamper your hair growth? Does the hair break off from split ends?

Thanks!
