How Much Do You Trim In A Year?

[NikStarrr]

About 2-2.5. This past year because of BCing I cut a lot to even up the layers as they grow, but aside from that. I normally only trim once a year and it's usually about 2-3 inches.

 

[doll-baby]

About 2 inches, I trim every 6 months.

 

[Saffirejuiliet]

I trim about one inch every 6 months. Trimming helps me get rid of single strands knots and split ends. I am planning on not trimming as much in the future.

 

[Junonia]

I trim about 2 inches a year. If I have damage, I'll trim more.

 

[skegeesmb]

I usually have 2 inches cut off, but since I had damaged hair this year I cut off at least all of my progress.

 

[Bulletproof]

I used to cut about 3 times a year. Sometimes 2 when I went really long without a relaxer. My trims would happen like once or 2x a month as I love, love, love sharp edges on a haircut. Now that I am transitioning I have not trimmed since end of June and I tell you it has definitely been withdrawal not seeing fresh shiny blunt edges all the time.

 

[lovenharmony]

I don't trim I only do so when absolutely necessary.

 

[Ramya]

2-4 inches per year. I dust and then get my hair reshaped often. Whatever it takes for my hair to look nice.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

I'm transitioning to natural so in the last year I probably cut off 6-8 inches of relaxed hair.

My hair grows 4 - 4.5 inches per year so I don't plan to trim often once I am fully natural.

First trim was 11/22/08

Second trim was 4/23/09

I'm not really trimming anymore, but dusting. I had my ends dusted today at the salon.

I guees it depends. Last year, i believe i trim 1 inch every month, as i wanted to keep my style (the shorter in the back, long in the front) and the hair wanted to grow. I have to say i cut more than a 5 inches a year, cause i really like to change style during the year.

I guess this is the first year i'm gonna try no to cut my hair at all.

 

[Lanea87]

No more than 2" if that.

 

[purplepeace79]

I this past year I think I averaged about 1/4 inch a month of trimming.

 

[my-my]

I usually trim .5-1" every year. I just trim off what is needed.

 

[Mimi22]

2-3".

I really need to cut back, I've been trimming all my progress away. I dust every so often, so major trims shouldnt be as often as mine (2/3 times a year )

 

[SouthernStunner]

I religiously measure m hair and I got 1 in cut this year.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

1.5-2 inches per year.

 

[Renovating]

I voted I don't trim at all. Is it necessary if you wear your hair curly 98% of the time? Has anyone received any damage from not trimming? (TIA) I want to get my hair straightened around the holidays. I guess I will find out if not trimming is damaging at that time.

 

[zzirvingj]

1-2 inches

 

[Kurlee]

1 inch!!!!

 

[Aggie]

So far, this year alone - I have had 8 inches trimmed off and working on getting the rest of it pretty soon. But typically I trim about 2-2.5 inches a year, maybe 3 inches but that's in the past. I am not trimming unless I really have to moving forward, so that means I'd really have to watch my ends really closely.

 

[southerncitygirl]

1-2 inches for me too!!

 

[BoaterGirlKim]

Generally trim once every 3 mos (4 times a year) aiming for 1/4 inch dusting each trim, so 1 inch per year.
