Choose a Low-Maintenance Hairstyle
Buzz cuts and natural styles with soft borders grow out more evenly, reducing upkeep. Fades or tapers require more frequent clean-ups to look sharp.
Clean Up the Neck, Ears & Eyebrows
Use a detail trimmer every few days to touch up your neckline and sideburns. Keep ear and eyebrow hair neat to preserve a fresh-cut look.
Touch Up Sideburns & Edges at Home
With a hand mirror and clippers, you can lightly shape your sideburns and edges between visits. Just be careful not to change the original shape of your cut.
Use Styling Products to Control Growth
Pomades, pastes, and gels help hold your style and smooth regrowth. Great for fades, textured crops, and longer tops.
Trim Your Neckline Carefully
A defined neckline keeps your haircut looking crisp. Use a second mirror or ask someone to help you trim below your natural hairline.
Shampoo Less & Moisturize
Washing your hair 2–3x a week is enough. Daily shampooing can dry out your scalp and hair, making it harder to style and manage between trims.
