How Often Should You Cut Your Hair?

Expert Advice from a Fleet Hairdresser

If you’re wondering how often you should cut your hair, you’re not alone. As a professional hairdresser in Fleet, Hampshire, this is one of the most common questions I’m asked in the salon. The truth is, your ideal haircut schedule depends on your hair type, style and long-term hair goals.

For short hairstyles, maintaining shape is key. If you wear a bob or pixie cut, a trim every 4 to

6 weeks keeps your haircut looking sharp and polished. For mid-length to long hair, booking a professional trim every 8–12 weeks helps prevent split ends, breakage and thinning through the ends.

Regular haircuts are essential for healthy hair growth. While trimming doesn’t make your hair grow faster, it does remove damaged ends, helping your hair look thicker, smoother and healthier. If you colour your hair, especially with balayage or blonde tones, routine trims also keep your style looking fresh between colour appointments.

At my Fleet salon, I always tailor haircut and haircare advice to suit your lifestyle and maintenance preferences. Whether you’re based in Fleet, Hampshire or nearby Surrey, consistent professional haircuts will keep your hair strong, glossy and beautifully shaped all year round.

If you’re unsure when to book your next trim, I’m always happy to offer personalized advice during your appointment.
