So how long has it been, really? Like many women, you’re probably growing your hair out because you miss those long, feminine locks, but you should never underestimate the power of a quarterly trim. Unless you’re the hippie type who’s never colored, blown out, curled, permed or straightened your hair, chances are you’ve got more than a few split ends. Although some products promise to fix split ends by “closing the cuticle,” they only work temporarily, and provide more of a quick fix than a solution. Ultimately, if you want “shampoo commercial hair,” you’ll need to keep it healthy. Most experts say you should get a haircut/trim at least every 3 months, but girls with shorter hair should really get it cut every 6-8 weeks to keep the style fresh.

Ladies, don’t let bad hair happen to you…get it cut already.
