Cuts
How often should I get a haircut?
The short answer
Short hair every 4 to 6 weeks, medium length every 6 to 8, and long hair every 8 to 12. Come sooner if the ends feel dry or the shape stops falling into place.
It depends on the length and on the shape you want to keep.
- Short cuts and men's cuts: every 4 to 6 weeks. A few millimeters change everything.
- Bobs and medium length: every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the line crisp.
- Long hair: every 8 to 12 weeks to keep the ends healthy while you grow it.
A good precision cut grows out gracefully, so you should not feel you are fighting your hair in week five. If you are, the cut is not working for your texture, and we should change it.
