Skip the trim: Give yourself some time in between each trim instead of going with the typical 6-8 weeks. Hair begins to split around the 3-4 month mark, which is when you’ll actually need a trim. 3. Layer accordingly: When cutting your hair, you should layer it according to your hair texture. Tighter curls work best with layers that aren’t perfectly even, while straighter hair works best with more even layers. 4. Skip the shampoo: Before cutting hair, skip the shampoo. You will be having your hair washed anyway, so there’s no need to dry out the cuticle twice. 5. It’s best to trim natural hair when dry: For girls with natural hair, it’s important to know that hair should be cut when dry.
