Make Your Haircut Last Six Months -- and Still Look FabGetting a trim every six weeks is so passé -- and pricey. Whittle your salon visits to twice a year with these pro tips |
At the Salon: Choose the Right Haircut The first step in making your hair look fab for the next six months is to get a haircut with longevity. That trendy bob you've been eyeing won't make it six months without losing its shape. Hair grows about half an inch each month, so by the end of six months, you'll have three extra inches of hair. "The shorter the hair, the shorter the time [that it looks good]," says Reyman.
A bad cut (one that is blunt and heavy) will grow out quickly. A good haircut with staying power will look great styled a hundred different ways (bonus: you'll never get bored with it). A longer haircut without any razoring is the ideal cut if you're trying to avoid the salon, says Reyman. However, a general rule when considering cuts is, if it looks good straight, it looks good every other way.
