If you cut your hair with scissors will it grow back thicker, faster and darker?
Thanks for asking luna 💛 Cutting your hair with scissors won't make it grow back thicker, faster, or darker 💇♀️ The thickness, rate of growth, and colour of your hair is determined by your genetics, and can also be influenced by your hormones, chronic health conditions 🤕 and certain medications 💊
However, cutting your hair can make it appear thicker and healthier, as it removes split ends and breakage. If you're thinking of trimming your hair, make sure you use sharp scissors dedicated for hair trimming, and follow some tutorials to get the best results. Consulting a parent/carer about this before you do anything is also a good idea, to make sure you don't make any mistakes.
Hope this helps 💗
