How often should a client typically get a haircut for maintaining healthy hair?

Every 2 weeks
Every 6-8 weeks
Every 3 months
Once a year

The correct answer is: Every 6-8 weeks

Getting a haircut every 6 to 8 weeks is widely recognized as ideal for maintaining healthy hair. This frequency helps to prevent split ends and promotes hair growth by removing damaged or unhealthy tips without sacrificing too much length. Regular trims can keep the hair looking fresh and manageable, and for most hair types, this schedule strikes a balance between allowing the hair to grow and maintaining its overall health and appearance. While some individuals may benefit from more frequent trims due to their hair type or styling preferences, the 6 to 8-week guideline is generally suitable for most people. It allows enough time for the hair to grow while still keeping it healthy. The other options suggest either a haircut too frequently or too infrequently, which can lead to either over-trimming or an excessive buildup of damage if not trimmed regularly.
