How Often Should You Cut Your Hair?

How often you should cut your hair really depends on your style and your budget. While you may love the look and feel of a fresh cut, weekly visits to the barber can really do a number on your bank account.

However, the biggest factor to consider in how often you should cut your hair is your hair length. In general, men with short haircuts will want to visit the barber at least once a month to keep their hair looking neat and trimmed. Men with medium-length styles can usually go a little longer before they look like they need a trim, about every one to two months. And men with longer hairstyles usually can get away with going a few months between cuts.

However, if you have lifestyle factors like poor diet, smoking or high stress, your hair may be more prone to thinning or breakage. And this can prevent it from reaching longer lengths, and make it seem to grow more slowly. While slow-growing hair doesn’t need to be cut as often (a bonus for your wallet), it’s more likely to become thin since your follicles aren’t growing hair quickly enough to replace the hair that’s naturally been shed.

So how do you promote existing hair growth?

You are not alone if you are wondering how to stimulate hair growth. The average person loses about 70 to 100 strands of hair every day. However, this is typically not noticeable because they fall out over the course of the day and are replaced by new hair growth.

Here are some tips to promote hair growth naturally:

  1. Massage your scalp with essential oils, several of which are natural remedies for hair regrowth. Try this recipe: One tablespoon of almond oil, three to four drops of rosemary essential oil and peppermint essential oil. Mix them together and then rub into your scalp to stimulate hair growth.
  2. Take a vitamin B supplement. The B vitamin biotin is especially important for hair growth and is one of the natural ingredients for hair growth in many natural hair health supplements.
  3. Use lemon juice. When applied to the scalp, lemon juice stimulates circulation and prevents hair loss. You can mix it with oil and rub it into your scalp for half an hour before washing it out.
  4. Balance out your hormones. Cortisol is one of the hormones often identified with hair loss. Cortisol can spike due to stress on the body. It needs to be regulated in order for us to function daily and for hair growth to happen.
