Vogue Experts on Haircut Frequency: No One-Size-Fits-All Answer

A Vogue article featuring five celebrity hairstylists explains that haircut frequency depends on hair texture, length, damage, and style goals. Irinel de León, Dyson Beauty global ambassador, says trims improve growth and thickness. For short hair, trims every six weeks are recommended; medium hair every six to 12 weeks; long healthy hair every 10 to 12 weeks. Fine hair needs more frequent trims (every four to six weeks for short lengths), while thick hair can go eight to 12 weeks. Curly hair should be trimmed every six to eight weeks to maintain shape. Damaged hair requires a cut rather than a trim. Experts advise against DIY trims, citing professional tools and perspective, but acknowledge small bang trims can be done at home if done dry and sparingly. Skipping trims leads to breakage and split ends that cannot be reversed.
