How often you should trim your hair depends on your hair length, type, and style goals:

• Short hair : Trim every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain shape and freshness, especially for styles like pixie cuts or bobs

. Short hair grows about half an inch per month, so frequent trims keep the style sharp

• Medium-length hair : Trim every 6 to 8 weeks if you want to maintain the length and style. If growing it out, you can extend trims to every 8 to 12 weeks

• Long hair : You can go longer between trims, typically every 8 to 12 weeks, or even up to 3 to 6 months if your hair is healthy and you are growing it out

. Pay attention to signs like split ends or dryness to decide when to trim.

• Fine or damaged hair : May require more frequent trims to avoid looking stringy or damaged, roughly every 4 to 12 weeks depending on length

• Bangs : Often need trimming every 2 to 4 weeks to keep them looking neat

General advice is to trim hair every 6 to 8 weeks as a starting point, then adjust based on your hair's condition and style preferences

. If you are growing your hair out and it looks healthy, you can wait longer between trims, around 3 to 6 months

. Signs you need a trim include dry, brittle ends, split ends, tangling, or difficulty styling

. In summary:

Hair Length| Recommended Trim Frequency
---|---
Very short| Every 1 to 3 weeks
Short| Every 4 to 6 weeks
Medium| Every 6 to 8 weeks (up to 12 if growing out)
Long| Every 8 to 12 weeks (up to 3-6 months if healthy and growing out)
Bangs| Every 2 to 4 weeks

Adjust based on hair health, damage, and personal style goals
