How frequently should a client normally trim their hair for optimal hair health?

Every 3 to 4 weeks
Every 5 to 7 weeks
Every 6 to 8 weeks
Every 9 to 11 weeks

The correct answer is: Every 6 to 8 weeks

For optimal hair health, clients are typically advised to trim their hair every 6 to 8 weeks. This frequency helps to eliminate split ends and promotes healthier hair growth. Regular trims within this timeframe can maintain the shape of a haircut and prevent the hair from becoming too damaged. Waiting longer between trims can lead to increased breakage and a requirement for more significant cuts later on. This approach balances maintaining style while ensuring the overall integrity of the hair remains intact.
