One of the questions we hear all the time at BELO is, “How often should I really be getting a haircut?” It depends on your goal. Are you trying to grow your hair out, or do you love exactly where it sits right now?
If you’re growing your hair out, we usually recommend a light trim every two to three months. We know how precious every inch feels when you’ve been growing it for months. A trim doesn’t speed up growth at the root, but removing split ends can help keep them from traveling up the strand and breaking. If your ends start tangling more than usual or looking wispy, you might want to come in a little sooner.
If you’re maintaining a bob, every six to eight weeks is a good starting point. It depends on how quickly your hair grows and how sharp you like the shape. If you love where your bob hits right at your chin, even a little growth can change how it sits. If you like the softer shape as it grows out, give it a little more time.
When you sit down with your BELO stylist, tell us what you love about your hair and what you want to keep. We’ll look at your ends together and show you how much we’d take off before we start. Sometimes a little trim is all it takes to make your hair feel fuller and fall the way you like again.
