Whenever you see Hollywood celebrities with their perfectly cut, styled, and dried coifs, do you often wonder how often they get their haircuts? Do stylists visit their house for regular trims, or are they accustomed to barber shop walk-ins?
Not to worry, gents. We’ll explore how often you should get a haircut for the complete look. This article will get into the following factors: hair growth, hair length, and head shape.
Hair Growth
Before you set foot in any barber shop, your hair must be a certain length to warrant a trim. But before you even note how long your hair is, you need to observe how fast your hair grows.
This is easier to note coming from a skinhead cut. Your hair will grow about a quarter of an inch after a specific time, making it easy to calculate how fast your hair turns long and flowy from short and fuzzy.
If your hair:
- Grows a quarter of an inch every week, visit a barber shop every month as it’ll grow long after four weeks. Alternatively, you can also get a trim twice a month to maintain even hair length.
- Grows a quarter of an inch in two weeks or longer; you can get a trim from your barber once every two months. You may also choose to get haircuts once a month to retain an even length.
Pay attention to how fast or steadily your hair grows. You’ll know it’s time for a cut when the shaved or trimmed portions start looking filled out.
Hair Length
Maintenance is also a factor for well-groomed coifs. It keeps everything looking smooth and polished without the feeling of a brand-new cut. Follow these guidelines for various hair lengths:
- Short Hair: The minimum is once a month, but this depends on how fast your hair grows. More rapid growth means taking a trip to the barber shop twice a month at most to keep looking fresh.
- Medium-Length Hair: Cuts for medium-length hair are more for maintenance than cleanliness. These intermittent trims keep everything in place as if customers woke up with their hairstyle like that. Therefore, regular barber shop visits every month or a month and a half are a must.
- Long Hair: Much like medium-length hair, trimming long locks maintains the same look with a twist. Regular cuts increase the volume of long hair, regulate the length, and keep them healthy. One or one month and a half is the general rule for keeping long hair.
Head Shape
Your face structure and head shape are vital factors to haircut consistency. These ensure the correct lengths in each area to amplify your natural features without looking like your hairstyle was simply glued onto your head!
The six head shapes include:
- Round: Visit your barber when your hair makes your face look even rounder.
- Oval: Those with oval-shaped faces can determine for themselves when they need a haircut based on the two factors mentioned above since this shape fits well with virtually any hairstyle or length.
- Square: Follow the same advice as those with round-shaped faces.
- Diamond: Follow the same advice as those with oval-shaped faces.
- Rectangle: Follow the same advice as those with square-shaped faces.
- Heart: Follow the same advice as oval-shaped faces.
The purpose of following these face shape principles is for your hair to accentuate or improve your overall head aesthetic.
