If you want to grow your hair out, it may even be better to cut it. Not because cutting your hair will make it grow faster, but because it will make it longer, as you will suffer less from split ends. When you have a split end, it runs up into your hair like a ladder in your tights. So if you don't get the tips trimmed, your hair can break off or the split will run further up into your hair. And that means that you have to cut your hair shorter anyway…
There is no universal answer to the question 'how often should you cut your hair?' But you can assume every 6 to 12 (!) weeks. The exact answer depends on several factors and is therefore different from person to person. For example, it depends on how often you use heat on your hair, whether you dye it and what style you cut your hair in. The more you do to your hair, the more often you should get it cut.
Not only how you treat your hair affects how often it should be cut, the texture of your hair also plays a role. For example, fine hair will break faster, but curly hair is often drier, which can also lead to split ends. That is why there are two things that you should pay attention to if you are wondering whether it is necessary to have your hair cut:can you no longer style your hair as easily and do you already see split ends? Is the answer to one or both of these questions 'yes'? Then it's time for a haircut!
