The recommended frequency for getting a haircut depends on hair length, style, and condition:
- For short hair, a trim every 2 to 4 weeks helps maintain the shape and sharpness of the style.
- Medium-length hair typically needs a haircut every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on whether you want to maintain length or grow it out.
- Long hair can go longer between cuts, generally every 3 to 6 months, especially if untreated by heat or chemicals.
- Bangs usually require trimming every 2 to 4 weeks to keep them looking neat.
- Layers and textured styles often need trims every 6 to 8 weeks.
- Frequent trims (every 6 to 8 weeks) help maintain hair health by preventing split ends, even for those growing their hair longer.
Overall, most people get haircuts between every 6 weeks and 12 weeks, but individual needs vary based on hair type and desired style maintenance.
