An adequate trim can help with hair breakage: imagine breaking a pencil and causing all those rough, split edges. It's the same with hair: if the hair is broken, the ends split (hence the word split ends). If you cut the hair regularly, preventing the hair from getting to that split end stage, it's not going to keep splitting all the way out. So, by getting a trim, you can actually help the hair to grow a little bit longer by nourishing the ends and by keeping them cleanly cut, so to speak.
