How often do you trim your hair?

[perlanga]

I've been trying to get my hair all one length again from layers and have trimming it monthly. I usually trim the growth off, 1/2 an inch.

About every 3 months, i go to the hairdresser as i don't trust myself to cut my own ends in a straight line. I don't trim much, just the damaged ends so about 1/2 an inch too.

I cut my own hair, about an inch every 3 months.

I like the length and style it has become so its easy to do a quick maintenance trim.

There are lots of decent utube hair videos that help, if one wants to learn how to trim their own hair.

Every 4-5 months or so. I don't get split ends as often anymore, so I can stand to go longer between trims! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It depends on how healthy I've been.  Whenever I get sick for a week or more, I'll notice a jump in split ends a month later.  If I haven't been sick, usually my hair stays pretty healthy, and even after a year, if I look at the ends of my hair, I really won't see split ends.  I don't think there's really a reason to cut it if you don't have split ends, unless you just want to maintain a certain length.

When that's the case, I don't tend to trim my hair at all (I'll go a year or three without cutting), and my hair goes from chin length to waist length before I cut it again.  It works out for me though because I like both shorter and longer hair styles on me, and I don't like to go to the hair dressers that often.  (Right now I probably have 10-12 inches or so I can cut off)  I think it's been almost 2 years since I last cut it.

edit: actually I just looked it up, and average is around 6 inches/year hair growth, so yeah that's probably about right then.

I trim when ever my hair needs one.  It also depends on how short my hair style is at the time.  I'm currently trying to grow it out so I've not cut it in 4 months so far.

Every 5-6 weeks. By the time my roots have come in, my bangs are falling in my eyes. So, two birds with one stone?
