How Often Do You Trim?

[esoterica]

My last trim was July 2005 but only at the front of my head. I wear a sew in constantly and i find it reduces the need for trimming. not that i couldn't do with one, but i think it can wait till the end of the year. i'd have to say i trim yearly.

 

[CreoleInDC]

Twice a year.

 

[remnant]

Once a year!

 

[sweetcashew]

Every 8 weeks. I've improved. It use to be once a month.

 

[PacificPurinsesu]

With every relaxer which is 8-10 weeks .

 

[baglady215]

I trim once per year, although I may do two this year.

 

[curlilocs]

Every 12 weeks for me, though now that I'm natural, I can actually go six months. I skipped my 3 month trim in March and my hair seems to be doing fine. I'm a recovering scissor addict and I stand by preventative maintenance.

 

[hairspan]

every 2 months for me

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

I trim twice a year.

 

[ajargon02]

Now that I cut out all the color, I am back on my trimming schedule. I trim once every 3 months. Even if it doesn't "need" a trim, I certainly looks better after I do it, and I feel it's preventative maintence so to speak

 

[lala]

every 6 wks usually

 

[Candy_C]

only when needed... I dusted once this year thus far..

 

[KiSseS03]

Since I stopped using heat in my hair I really don't see the need anymore. I dust when needed, I just recently did it after stretching 7 months. So I'd say twice a year.

 

[Cichelle]

Once a year. But I'm skipping this year.

 

[MelsWifey]

Recently I had been trimming every 4 weeks. I would call it a dusting...but they "dustings" always went too far. My new method is going to be to trim only every 6 months because I don't know when enough is enough once I get those scissors in my hand.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

TOO MUCH!!! I won't even say how many times per year.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I used to trim every 3 months with each touch up, but now I'm going to stretch it to maybe twice a year.

 

[caribeandiva]

once a year cause i'm terrified of a stylist chopping off all my precious progress. so i try to limit my visits as much as possible. the most i'd do it is twice a year.

 

[toinette]

i had my last trim in May 2005. I am gonna trim in May of 2007.

 

[Ntrlmystik]

I haven't been doing any trims...just a major cut twice a year probably because I don't trim so I am going to try doing an every 6- 8 week dust. Will keep you guys posted on how that works for me.

 

[krissyprissy]

I trim 4x per year

 

[thefineprint]

I trim about every 6 weeks or so...but really when I feel that my ends are looking too straggly

 

[PinkPeony]

Every 4 Months even tough I'am a bit SH lately erplexed

 

[HighlyFavored1]

I trim about every 9 weeks. After I get my relaxer, I go by this woman at a super cuts type place. She's the only person I trust to just snip off the stragglies. I have to get regular trims or my ends get tangly and it gets worse. Also, my hair is thin and i like to maintain a more or less blunt cut. I might try dusting this time to see if I can avoid the trim.

 

[rdm]

With every touch up!!!

 

[SerenityBreeze]

I now try to trim twice a year - January & July. I have found that by keeping my ends moisturized as really reduced the need for frequent trims. Perhaps every 3 months I dust 1/8 inch if needed.

I voted never, but in Oct, the home beautician slipped one on me. i didnt want it but she said i needed to get rid o split ends. She really meant cut.
