How often should I get a haircut if I am growing my hair long?

It's important to know that hair grows on average half an inch every four weeks. If you want to keep your long hair, you need to get regular trims. Long hair is susceptible to breakage and split ends. Split ends ride up your hair shaft and continue to do so until they are cut off.

Your hair will continue to grow at the root of course, but your ends will continue to break. Get a trim every 6-10 weeks, especially if you are growing your hair out. The myth that regular haircuts makes your hair grow faster is not true. It will prevent breakage and split ends, which tend to make your hair feel like it just will not grow.
