RE: How often do you trim/cut your hair?

Lilykind · Hermes

When I was getting highlights, I went ever 8 - 10 weeks. Yeah my hair was very...uh..."rooty" for a week, but so is every other girl in LA. If I'm not coloring my hair, it's more like every 4 - 6 months. I'd LOVE to go to the salon all the time, but my income doesn't allow for it. To be fair, I do deep condition twice a week now and use gentler shampoos and conditioners so I don't get as many split ends and dry hair.

My hair is fairly long so I usually only go every 3 months or so (when I get my highlights). Too much after that and my hair starts getting really unruly. Even though I color it, I try to take pretty good care of my hair- it's really dry so I can get away with washing every three days and I only heat style twice a week max. I've also found using sulfate-free shampoos has helped my hair condition tremendously.

I'm actually at the 3-month mark now though and I'm going in for new color and cut tomorrow!

well I try to go about every 6 weeks to get it re colored and trimmed but sometime I have to wait a little longer after 8 weeks I cant stand it any longer and have to go get it done.

I live in a small town too and my hair dresser does mine for 61.00 cut- color and style. I get my brows done when I go so its 66.00 .

Over the past two years, I've had three haircuts. I have really long, really thick, really strong hair, so I can get away with not cutting as often. I think my last haircut was in the beginning of the the summer. Before that, it was the previous fall and before that, it was in early spring. So, I guess that would be about every 6 months. Right now, I think I'm about due for a cut.

I've also stopped dying my hair (permanent hair dye anyway) and have let it grow out to it's natural color. I put semipermanent on it once in a while, but I don't have roots or anything to touch up, so it's not a big deal for me to not go to a salon.
