How often you should cut your hair depends on your hair length, type, and goals, but here are some general guidelines:
- Very short hair: Every 1 to 3 weeks
- Short hair: Every 2 to 7 weeks
- Medium hair: Every 6 to 8 weeks
- Long hair: Every 2 to 4 months
Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep hair looking healthy. For short haircuts or styles like bangs, more frequent trims (every 4 to 6 weeks) are recommended to maintain shape. For longer hair that's healthy, trims can be spaced out to every 8 to 12 weeks. If you’re growing your hair out, trimming every 3 to 4 months helps keep ends healthy without sacrificing length. Hair texture matters too: fine or thin hair may require more frequent trims (every 4 to 6 weeks) to avoid damage, while thick or curly hair can often go longer between trims, around 8 to 12 weeks. In sum, a good rule of thumb is to trim hair every 6 to 8 weeks for most medium lengths, but adjust depending on your hair type and style preferences.
