Knowing how often to schedule your haircuts can be difficult to decide. You don’t want to do it too often, but waiting too long between appointments can make you lose shape and look messy. The Barber Chair is here to help! We’ll lay down a guide for you to know when it’s time to make your next appointment.
How often you cut your hair will depend entirely on the type of hairstyle you have. Long, medium, and short styles all require different levels of maintenance to keep your hair styled how you like it. When it comes to short hair, you can get your locks trimmed as often as every 2-3 weeks. This is especially true for those who keep their hair cut super short on the sides, think skin-tight sides and backs. Waiting longer than 3 weeks will eliminate the clean look your cut should show off, so make sure to keep your appointments regularly scheduled!
If you wear your hair a little longer in a medium-length style, you can go 4 to 6 weeks between appointments. Longer backs and sides don’t need to be trimmed quite as often but will still keep their shape. Longer styles offer much more leeway with the grow-out. A little edginess won’t look unkempt, and cutting it too often will literally make it too short to be considered a medium cut, so every month to month and a half is perfect.
Now if you have long hair, you can easily go 6 to 10 weeks before you’ll need to sit back down in the barber chair. Long hair is considered anything that falls below the hairline. At this point, your cuts are to help remove dead ends and keep your shape and layers looking fresh. While longer hair can take longer to wash and style, you need far fewer cuts to maintain good-looking and healthy hair!
