Short hair shows growth sooner, so the shorter the style, the more often it needs a tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A rough guide by style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Skin fades and very short sides:<\/strong> every 2 to 3 weeks if you like the fade crisp. After that the blend starts to soften.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Tapers and classic short cuts:<\/strong> every 3 to 5 weeks.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Scissor cuts and textured crops:<\/strong> every 4 to 6 weeks.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Longer styles you are growing out:<\/strong> every 6 to 10 weeks, mainly to keep the ends and the neckline tidy.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Beards:<\/strong> a shape every 2 to 4 weeks, with a little trimming at home in between.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs you are due a visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your hair no longer sits the way it did on day one, even with product.<\/li>\n\n<li>The hair over your ears or on your neck feels fuzzy.<\/li>\n\n<li>The fade has grown into a solid line rather than a blend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stretching the time between cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your barber for a slightly longer blend or a taper rather than a skin fade, and book a quick neckline and line-up tidy between full cuts. Many shops offer a short tidy for a lower price than a full cut, so ask what yours does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure what suits your routine?
