How often should I cut my hair?

Sep 29, 2025
Regular haircuts aren’t just for style; they’re essential for keeping your hair healthy and strong. Trims prevent split ends and damage from friction and styling tools. Joseph suggests cutting about half an inch every six to eight weeks for best results. Certain hairstyles need even more frequent upkeep. Interestingly, men and women often have different cutting schedules based on their hair lengths. Consistent care can help reduce salon visits, making hair maintenance more efficient and effective!
