Many women and girls try to avoid the hairdresser when they are growing their hair. According to www.whimn.com.au, the reality is that if your hair is damaged, that damage continues up the shaft and when you finally go to the hairdresser you will need to get more cut off. If you get it cut every 6-12 weeks you will end up with longer, healthier hair.
