How Often Should You Get a Haircut? An Expert Weighs In

Want extra-long hair? Toth recommends only visiting your hairstylist twice a year for maximum growth. "Don't color your hair and deep condition it once a week," Toth says. "[While] you're actually supposed to get it cut more often, if your stylist is even a tiny bit scissor-happy then this plan won't work out." That said, you can stick to the every-three-month schedule if your hairstylist only gives your hair a dusting, which involves removing a very small amount of length.
