How often do you trim/cut your hair?

Elle · Hermes

6 weeks just seems so ..... often. I guess if you had a really short haircut it might be necessary. I kept mine at about my collarbone for the last 2 years, and had to get it cut every 8-10 weeks I'd say - that's about when it would start misbehaving .

As of right now, I've not had a hair cut in 8 months

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I used to abide by the 6 week rule because I thought it would really benefit by hair, but it really didn't so I decided to give my wallet a break. I now only go once every 4 months and I get my hair colored/highlighted at the same time. It usually costs me about $180 for all of this so it's about $540 a year. That's really not bad and my hair hasn't suffered at all.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Every 6 weeks I get my hair trimmed and colored.

Christine · Coach

I get my hair cut once every 3 months. Any longer than that, and split ends start to take over, and my layers disappear (hey, just like they're doing right now! lol)

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I was going every 7-8 weeks, but I'm going to start every 6 weeks. The reason is is that my hair is fine and dries out way to easily, no matter what I try, so I get split ends a lot quicker. 6 weeks helps keep them at bay much better..

Right now, I go about every 4 - 6 months. I don't really get split ends, so I usually wait until the layers need a lot of help.

When I had short hair, I actually got it cut every 3 weeks. That was expensive.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I'm really anal about my color.. so I definately do that every 6 weeks.

And when my hair is shorter, I will get it trimmed then as well.

Right now, I'm trying to grow it out.. so I will get it trimmed every 12 weeks or so to try to speed up with the growing process!

TexasGal · Kenneth Cole

I used to be really bad about this and only went when I couldn't stand my hair anymore. But now..I'd say about every 2-3 months. My problem is...my hair looooves to start looking GREAT right when I start thinking it's time for a cut...so then I postpone cutting it.

avery · Nine West

I have to get my hair colored every 6-8 weeks.. that's when the grays start peeking out... grrr!!

I get my hair trimmed every other time, so about every 3-4 months.. trying to grow it out!

theotherjess · Chanel

4-6 months. I hate getting my haircut, it always looks weird.

relrel · Marc Jacobs

well, right now im looking at almost a full year since it's been cut by anyone except the bf (and i do NOT recoomend that to anyone, it was quite a job he did!) because im trying to grow it out and i haven't figured out yet how im gonna get it to look. i can't cut my hair without deciding what it's gonna look like. but normally, when it was short, it was every four weeks or so. my hair was super super short so i had to keep getting it cut otherwise it just looked shaggy.

laken1 · Hermes

Every 3 months maybe? Basically when I can't do anything with it or if I have to look especially cute for a special occassion. I need a color SOOOO bad right now but I'm broke....

bluediamond · Dooney & Bourke

I cut mine every 6-8 weeks.

erin · Chanel

every 2-3 months...and when i do get it trimmed, i get the slightest dusting possible (1/4 inch). i think as long as someone takes good care of their hair, they can go longer between cuts. when i was coloring my hair all the time, i got it cut probably once a month (again as a baby trim).

janey831 · Kate Spade

not as often as i should!! which reminds me..i need to make an appt this weekend!

halleybird · Hermes

I usually can't go more than 8 weeks. My hair has light highlights, and it's fine, so it damages easily. It's just about 8 weeks now, and I keep forgetting to make the appt. My hair is so desperately in need of a cut it's not even funny.

I totally agree with you, Jess. My hair looks great at the salon but as soon as I'm outside it loses it. I cut it as little as possible.

I do have to dye every 6 weeks but I do that at home.

subwolley · Kate Spade

Every 3 months. That's when I notice my hair starts to be a pain!

I need a haircut now.

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I've cut back recently from every 6 weeks to every 8 weeks (when I get my color done) and the only thing that bugs me about that is that my bangs grow way too fast so around 4 weeks they are too long to do anything so I think I'm going to start going in for bang trims every 4 weeks since they are cheap.
