Summer is finally on its way, and we couldn’t be happier! Longer days, sunshine, holidays, swimming pools, beach trips, garden parties and outdoor adventures are all just around the corner.
While we all love the warmer weather, summer can be one of the most challenging seasons for our hair. Scorching sunshine, UV exposure, chlorine from swimming pools, salt water, humidity and increased washing can all take their toll, leaving hair feeling dry, brittle, faded and lacking its usual shine.
The good news? Our talented team at The Salon Company are here to help keep your hair healthy, strong and beautiful all summer long with expert hairdressing, hair colouring, balayage, hair extensions and professional beauty treatments. Find out more about our hair services.
How Often Should You Get Your Hair Cut?
One of the most common questions we hear in the salon is:
“How often should I get my hair cut?”
The answer depends on your hair type, style, hair colour and personal hair goals. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all schedule, regular trims are one of the best ways to keep your hair healthy, manageable and looking its very best, whether you wear your hair short, long, coloured or enhanced with hair extensions.
Why Regular Haircuts Matter
Many people wait until their hair starts looking untidy before booking an appointment, but regular trims offer so much more than maintaining your style.
Regular haircuts help:
- Prevent split ends from travelling up the hair shaft
- Reduce breakage and damage
- Keep your hairstyle looking fresh and polished
- Improve manageability
- Support healthier-looking hair growth
Leaving appointments too long can result in dry ends, increased tangling and a hairstyle that becomes more difficult to maintain.
Recommended Haircut Schedule
Short Hairstyles
Pixie cuts, crops and shorter styles generally benefit from a haircut every 4-6 weeks.
Medium-Length Hair
For shoulder-length styles, we usually recommend a trim every 6-8 weeks.
Long Hair
Long hair can often go 8-12 weeks between trims, particularly if you are growing it. However, regular maintenance is still essential to prevent split ends and maintain healthy-looking lengths.
Growing Your Hair?
Many people avoid haircuts when they are trying to grow their hair longer. In reality, regular trims every 8-12 weeks help remove damaged ends before they lead to breakage, allowing hair to grow stronger and healthier over time.
Curly and Textured Hair
Curly hair often benefits from appointments every 8-12 weeks. Because curls can disguise split ends and uneven growth, regular professional assessments help maintain healthy, beautifully shaped curls.
Colour-Treated Hair
If your hair is coloured, highlighted, treated with balayage or chemically treated, regular trims become even more important. A haircut every 6-8 weeks helps maintain healthy-looking ends and keeps your colour looking fresh and vibrant.
Signs It’s Time For A Haircut
Your hair is usually very good at telling you when it needs some attention:
- Split ends
- Increased tangling
- Dry or frizzy ends
- Loss of shape
- Difficulty styling
- Increased breakage
Support Your Hair From Within This Summer
Whilst regular trims are one of the best ways to maintain healthy hair, what you put into your body is just as important as how you care for it on the outside.
