How Often Should You Trim Your Hair? Advice from Our Stylists

When it comes to hair care, few things spark more debate than the question: How often should you trim your hair? Some believe in a monthly snip, while others let months—sometimes years—go by without visiting the salon. So, what’s the real answer? According to our professional stylists, it depends entirely on your hair type, goals, and lifestyle.

Why Regular Trims Matter:

Hair trims aren’t just about keeping up appearances. They play a key role in maintaining healthy, strong strands. Over time, hair naturally becomes prone to split ends, dryness, and breakage. Trimming removes those damaged ends, preventing them from traveling up the shaft and causing more harm.

“Our clients often think trimming makes their hair shorter, but in reality, it’s an investment in longer, healthier hair,” 

A Trim Timeline Based on Hair Type:

Our stylists recommend the following schedules based on different hair textures and needs:

Short Hair (Pixie Cuts, Bobs): Every 4–6 Weeks:

Short hairstyles tend to lose their shape quickly. Regular trims help maintain the structure and prevent it from growing out awkwardly. This is especially true for precision cuts like pixies and sharp bobs.

Medium to Long Hair: Every 8–12 Weeks:

If your hair is healthy and you’re not using hot tools frequently, you can go longer between trims. However, if your goal is to grow your hair out, don’t skip the salon. Trimming just a quarter-inch regularly keeps the ends healthy, helping length retain over time.

Curly and Textured Hair: Every 10–12 Weeks:

Curly hair is more fragile and prone to dryness. It doesn’t show damage as easily, but split ends can still cause frizz and uneven curls. A professional trim every few months helps maintain shape and bounce while reducing breakage.

Chemically Treated Hair (Color, Perms, Relaxers): Every 6–8 Weeks:

Color and chemical treatments weaken the hair, making it more susceptible to damage. Frequent trims help remove brittle ends and maintain strength, especially if you’re using bleach or heat-styling tools.

Signs You’re Overdue for a Trim:

Sometimes, your hair tells you when it needs attention. Watch for:

1. Tangled ends that feel rough to the touch

2. Noticeable split ends

3. Loss of volume or shape

4.Frizz that won’t smooth down

5.Slower growth (due to breakage).

The Bottom Line

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how often you should trim your hair. The right schedule depends on your style, hair condition, and goals. As a general rule, staying proactive with trims every 6 to 12 weeks can make a big difference in the long-term health and appearance of your hair.

And if you’re unsure, book a consultation. A good stylist will assess your hair’s condition and recommend a maintenance plan that works for your lifestyle and look.
