Haircut frequency depends on your hair type, style, and how quickly it grows. Here’s a practical guide you can use:
- Short hair or cropped styles: every 2–6 weeks to keep the shape sharp.
- Medium-length or layered cuts: every 6–8 weeks to maintain layers and style.
- Long hair or low-maintenance shapes: every 8–12 weeks, or longer if you’re growing it out and want to keep the ends healthy.
- Curly or textured hair: every 8–12 weeks is common, but it may be sooner if you want to maintain defined curls or a specific shape.
- Bangs or fringe: every 2–4 weeks, since they grow faster and can alter the overall look quickly.
Tips to decide when to cut:
- If you see split ends, frizz, or your ends look dull, it’s a good cue for a trim.
- If your hairstyle loses its shape or you notice your layers blending together, it may be time for a cut.
- If you’re maintaining a precise length or style (short, blunt cuts, or detailed fades), more frequent visits are usually necessary.
If you share your hair type (straight, wavy, curly), length, and the style you want to maintain, can tailor the frequency to your exact situation.
