How Often Should You Get a Haircut?
How Often Should You Get a Haircut? by The Beauty Bar
Hair
needs regular trims in order to keep it healthy. How often
you should get your hair cut depends on its length, whether or not
you want to grow it out, and treatments you use on a regular
basis.
Hair grows an average of a half inch every month. Some people’s hair grows faster, and some people’s grows slower.
If you have long hair and want to keep it long, it is important to get regular haircuts. Long hair is old and is therefore more susceptible to breakage, split ends, and thinning than younger hair. If you color your hair, it is more likely to have damage, so regular haircuts are even more important.
Long hair should be trimmed at least every eight to 12 weeks, or every six to eight weeks if you have breakage or split ends. If you want to grow your hair longer, have your stylist trim a half inch or less. If you want to keep your current length, have the stylist trim more so that it will be the same length when it is time for your next haircut.
The rules for long hair generally apply to medium-length hair. You should get a trim every six to 12 weeks. If you want to maintain your current length, get a trim every six to eight weeks. If you want to grow your hair out, trim it every eight to 12 weeks.
If you have short hair, you will need more frequent trims to keep your style looking fresh. You should get your hair trimmed every four to eight weeks, or every six to 12 weeks if you want to grow your hair longer.
If you color, highlight, perm, or chemically straighten your hair, this can cause it to break, split, or become very dry. You will need to get it trimmed more frequently to prevent damage.
People often don’t get their hair cut if they are trying to grow it out. It is a common myth that regular haircuts can make hair grow faster. Getting your hair cut on a regular basis will not make it grow faster, but it will prevent damage that could make your hair appear to grow slower.
