How Often Should I Get My Hair Cut? - Wednesday, February 22, 2012
This question gets asked in the salon on a daily basis, and the truth is, there are as many answers to this question as there are people in the salon.
Here are some guidelines to use to help you determine how often to cut your hair, keeping in mind that the average head of hair grows 1/2" each month:
- Most of our male guests or our ladies with really short locks get their hair cut every 3-4 weeks. Staying on this schedule allows most of our guys to maintain a look that is professional without getting the, "Wow, you just got a haircut!" comments. Shaggy necklines and hair hanging over the ears are a clear indicator that you've gone too long.
- If you have a haircut that is below your shoulders, you can likely stretch your visits for cuts out longer than most. A half an inch of growth is nothing if your hair is over a foot long, right? The most important thing with long hair is that you keep your ends from getting split and frazzled. 8-12 weeks would be the longest we'd recommend on going, and that is if you have healthy, strong hair. The second you see a split end, you should be making you way to the salon. That being said, if you have long hair that has layers or detailing around the face, the 8 week mark is more appropriate to keep you hair feeling like it has some shape.
- Hair above your shoulders typically needs attention every 4-6 weeks. When you have a cute asymetrical bob, 6 weeks of growth (3/4") will likely make you want to pull your hair out!
- If you are growing your hair out, stretch you appointments out an extra week, making sure to ask for less than the amount that your hair has grown to be cut off.
- If you have chemical damage or have very fragile hair that can't stand up to much abuse, shorten your haircut visits by a week. It's very important to keep your strands in good condition, and just waiting that one extra week can be all it takes to let your split ends out of control!
