How frequently should a client receive a trim to maintain healthy hair?

Every 4-6 weeks
Every 6-8 weeks
Every 8-10 weeks
Every 12 weeks

The correct answer is: Every 6-8 weeks

To maintain healthy hair and to prevent split ends, a trim every 6-8 weeks is often recommended. This timeframe ensures that any damaged ends are addressed before they can travel further up the hair shaft, which can lead to more significant damage. Regular trims help keep hair looking its best and can contribute to its overall health by allowing for more consistent growth and maintaining shape. While some hair types or styles may require trimming more frequently, the 6-8 week guideline is a suitable standard for most clients to ensure their hair remains vibrant and manageable.
