A healthy head of hair reflects the way you treat and style it, as well as how often you get a haircut. Simply cutting off the ends of your hair can do wonders for your style and texture, but how often should your hair get trimmed? The hairstylist professionals at 151 Hair Company reveal to their clients that it’s all about your hair care choices and texture. Here’s how to know when it’s time for a hair trim.

Is There a Right Time to Trim Your Hair?

Through straightening irons, blow dryers, exposure to UVB rays, and sticky products, there is a lot of stress put on your hair every day, and eventually, it will split and break. On average, your hair grows about a half an inch per month, and frequent trimming of the ends ensure the rest of your hair is nourished and moisturized. In addition to moisturizing masks and protective sprays, hair experts recommend getting your hair cut based on your hair texture.

Wavy Hair

Daily ironing to straighten out those unbalanced waves or curling to add more volume can quickly cause damage to the ends of your hair. To trim off those dry, damaged ends, visit your hairstylist every six weeks. In the meantime, add a texturizing mousse and sea salt spray to naturally develop those summer beach waves, and if you use a heat styler, remember to use your heat protection spray.

Curly Hair

If it isn’t straightened, curly hair creates knots at the ends. The more split ends you have, the more knots you will have after every shower. You should get your hair cut every eight weeks or when you notice unmanageable frizz or knots. In between visits, try using a detangler spray and hair masks to keep your hair from becoming tangled.

Fine Hair

If you have fine hair, schedule visits to your hairstylist every five weeks. Breakage and split ends are quicker to develop and more noticeable in fine hair. The main culprit for this breakage is from elastic hair ties tightly gripping and pulling at your hair. Experts recommend using ribbon or coil hairs ties in between cuts.

Color Treated Hair

Overprocessed hair is highly susceptible to split ends and damage. The only way to ensure your hair is healthy is to schedule a trim with every color treatment. This can be every four to eight weeks depending on your hair growth and treatment.
