How often should I get a shag trimmed?

The answer

It depends on your length, hair type and how crisp you like the shape, but short shags and fringes usually need attention sooner, while longer versions can wait longer. Medium shags typically benefit from a trim every couple of months, though this varies. Watch for layers that have blurred into one length, stringy ends or a fringe in your eyes.
