7 Signs It's Time for a Haircut - Local Barbershop Advice

For some guys, it can be tough to know when they’re overdue for a fresh cut. They may not notice split ends or unruly growth in time for corrective action.

There are, nonetheless, some clear signs that your hair needs to be cut.

To make it easier for you to know when it is time to make an appointment with the barber, we list the strongest ones:

1. Split Ends

Take a close look at your ends in the mirror. Do you see a lot of frayed, stringy split ends?

That's a surefire sign your hair could use a dusting. Split ends lead to frizz, breakage, and a general unflattering unkempt appearance in men.

2. Shaggy Neckline

When you start to notice hair creeping down over your collar or curling up at the nape of your neck – it's a clear signal you've outgrown your last cut. Polished looks are incomplete without a clean neckline.

3. Overgrown Bangs

If your bangs are constantly flopping into your eyes or hanging past your eyebrows, it's time to get them trimmed and reshaped. Overgrown bangs can be annoying and off-putting.

4. Undefined Shape

As the weeks go by, your haircut loses its intended shape and style. If your hair just looks amorphous and shapeless, a cut can bring back its intended look.

5. Excessive Frizz

The more damaged your ends become, the more prone your hair is to frizzing out of control. A trim gets rid of those fried ends causing the frizz.

6. Thinning Pieces

Take note if certain pieces or sections of your hair seem thinner or sparser than usual.

This can be a sign of excessive breakage from damage that needs to be trimmed right away.

7. Haircut Just Feels Off

Sometimes you just get a gut feeling that your hair doesn't look or feel its best anymore. If your usual style isn't working, a reset with a fresh cut may be in order.

Don’t let your hair get too shaggy or wild. Knowing these signs will help you keep your hair looking sharp and healthy by getting trims on a regular basis. A haircut every 2 to 4 weeks is good for most men; but the freshest of the fresh stay on a weekly or biweekly schedule to Stay Frosty.
