Many people will tell you that you have to trim your hair every 6 weeks to encourage growth. This is a myth. Your hair will grow regardless of whether you cut it or not. The key to growing your hair longer is to maintain the old hair and encourage new growth.
If you have damaged ends, most likely the damage extends quite far up the hair shaft. The truth is that the damage will most likely travel further up and cause your hair condition to look terrible and crunchy. For most this would mean one major chop. If you are comfortable with starting fresh, then of course go for it, your hair growth journey will just be made longer.
