Hair advice needed, how often for a cut

[MintheMiddle]

Hi,

I'm in the middle of booking my hair appointments as my salon gets booked up quickly.

How often do I need to get my hair cut if I'm trying to grow it?
It's currently long Bob, very heavy and thick so when it needs a good cut you can tell as it gets poofy and out of shape.

Just looking for any advice about when I should be aiming for between cuts?

Thank you

Get a growing out style.
A bob is a precision cut and tends to only look good for a few weeks.

Some long layers would probably help

Thank you very much for replying. Just a quick question what is a growing out style?

I'm getting my haircut in two weeks and thought of this which still gives it a bit of shape. I have a fringe too so it tends to look very boring very fast

That’s very Jennifer Anniston 20 years ago. I think just go every 8 weeks for a little trim to keel it in shape. I grew mine from shortish to a bob in lockdown. Growing out is never easy. However the bob is now great. I have it all the same length but it took forever to grow out the layers. So I don’t think there is a growing out style. You just have to persevere.,

The Jen. Aniston one is nice but a bit 90s, and she was growing out a 'Rachel'

I had a bob and despite havingg hair that grows very slowly it always started to look a bit untidy after 5 weeks.

Had it restyled and layers added and it could go about 12 weeks
