Some haircut advice gets passed around so many times that it starts to sound like fact. Cut it more and it grows faster. Leave it till it looks bad. The salon is the only place to get a proper one.

A few of these are plain wrong, and a few are half true. Let's sort them out, and then get to a schedule you can actually follow.

Four Things Men Believe About Haircuts

"Cutting it makes it grow faster"

It doesn't. Hair grows from the root, and trimming the ends has no say in how quickly that happens. What a regular cut does do is keep the shape tidy, so the growth never looks messy. That's probably where the myth comes from.

"I'll go when it looks bad"

This one costs the most. By the time it looks bad, the shape has been gone for a week or two. So the haircut you book is a rescue job, not a refresh, and the barber has a lot more to fix.

"Waiting longer saves money"

It really doesn't. You pay the same for the haircut either way. All you save is a couple of visits a year, and you pay for that in the weeks in between, when you're fussing with hair that has lost its shape.

"A proper haircut only happens in a salon"

A salon is one place to get a good cut. It isn't the only one. What matters is a clean haircut at a time you can actually keep, and plenty of men would go more often if getting there wasn't such a bother.

So, How Often?

For most men it's every three to four weeks. Hair grows about a centimetre a month, and a month is roughly when a cut starts to lose its line. Here's how it changes with your style.

Your style

Haircut every

Why

Skin fade or sharp fade

2 to 3 weeks

The blend softens fast

Short back and sides

3 to 4 weeks

The neckline goes first

Classic short cut

4 weeks

The length creeps up

Medium length

5 to 6 weeks

A light trim keeps the layers in place

Long hair

8 weeks or more

Mostly trimming ends and tidying the outline

Beard trim

1 to 2 weeks

The edges grow out quicker than you'd think

 

Why Men Put It Off

It's almost never because they don't care. It's because one haircut asks for a lot more than a haircut.

You have to get there, and in Lahore that can mean a long ride and a hunt for parking. You have to wait your turn, and the queue is never as short as you hope. You have to fit all that into hours that suit the salon, not you. Put those together and a thirty minute job turns into most of an evening.

So you push it to next week. Then the week after. Nobody decides to skip a haircut. It just keeps losing out to everything else.
