How often should I get my child's hair cut?

---

 As a parent, maintaining your child's hair can sometimes feel like a juggling act, one of the most common questions we hear at Bertie and Belles Children's Hair Salon is, "How often should I get my child's hair cut?", the answer varies depending on several factors, including hair type, style, and personal preference. 

Several elements can affect the optimal frequency for haircuts, ranging from hair type to lifestyle needs by understanding these factors can help you maintain your child's hair in the best possible condition.

Straight hair tends to show growth more noticeably and quickly needing regular trims every 6-8 weeks can keep it looking neat and healthy. Styles like bobs and straight cuts may require more frequent trims to maintain their shape and prevent split ends.

Curly hair grows at the same rate as straight hair, but the curls can make growth less noticeable therefore every 8-10 weeks is typically sufficient. Curls can hide uneven growth, so trims can be less frequent, focusing on keeping the curls bouncy and defined.

Wavy hair sits between straight and curly hair in terms of growth visibility by trimming every 6-10 weeks helps maintain wave definition. Regular trims help manage frizz and keep the waves looking their best.

Thick hair, regardless of texture, can become heavy and unmanageable if not trimmed regularly at intervals of 6-8 weeks ideally, regular trims help manage bulk and keep the hair looking stylish and healthy.

Fine hair can become stringy and prone to breakage therefore regular trims every 4-6 weeks can help maintain a fuller appearance. Frequent trims prevent split ends and keep fine hair looking fresh and voluminous.

At Bertie and Belles, we offer practical advice and flexible scheduling options to help you keep your child's hair looking its best.

Schedule regular appointments based on your child's hair type and style which ensures their hair remains healthy and well-maintained. Consider adjusting the haircut schedule based on the seasons, for example, more frequent trims during the summer can help manage growth and keep your child cool.

Between salon visits, maintain your child's hair with regular brushing, conditioning, and using the right hair care products which helps extend the time between cuts and keeps their hair in top condition. Our experienced stylists at Bertie and Belles can provide personalized recommendations based on your child's specific needs. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice on the ideal haircut frequency for your child.

Pay attention to how quickly your child's hair grows and how it looks between cuts if it starts to look unkempt or difficult to manage, it may be time for a trim.
