If you’ve ever wondered how often you should get a haircut, you’re not alone. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—but regular trims are key to healthy, beautiful hair. Whether you’re growing it out, rocking a short cut, or maintaining color-treated strands, your ideal schedule depends on several key factors.
Why Regular Haircuts Matter
Even if you’re not looking for a dramatic change, haircuts are essential to:
- Prevent split ends and breakage
- Maintain your shape and style
- Support hair growth by reducing damage
- Improve the overall health and appearance of your hair
At Beaudee Salon, our stylists recommend haircut schedules based on your hair texture, length, and personal goals.
General Haircut Guidelines by Hair Type and Style
Short Hairstyles (Pixie, Bob, Lobs)
Recommended Trim Schedule: Every 4–6 weeks
Short cuts lose shape quickly. Regular trims keep the lines clean and flattering.

Medium to Long Hair
Recommended Trim Schedule: Every 8–12 weeks
Longer hair doesn’t show growth changes as quickly but still needs trims to avoid split ends and thinning.
Curly or Textured Hair
Recommended Trim Schedule: Every 10–12 weeks
Curly hair is more prone to dryness and tangling. Trims help retain curl definition and reduce frizz.
Styling Tip: Dry cutting or curl-specific trims may extend time between visits while maintaining shape.
Color-Treated or Heat-Styled Hair
Recommended Trim Schedule: Every 6–8 weeks
Frequent heat styling and coloring can weaken hair. Regular cuts remove damaged ends and preserve integrity.

Growing Your Hair Out
Recommended Trim Schedule: Every 10–12 weeks
It may seem counterintuitive, but trims are essential even when growing your hair. Removing split ends helps prevent breakage and maintains healthy growth.
Signs You’re Overdue for a Trim
- Frizzy or dry ends that feel rough
- Split ends that travel up the strand
- Loss of shape or volume
- Hair tangles easily, especially at the ends
- Heat styling isn’t producing the same results
If you’re noticing any of these, it’s time to book your next appointment.

It depends on the style. Short men’s cuts often need refreshing every 3–4 weeks, while longer styles follow the same 6–12 week rhythm.
