Havent had a hair cut since..never???(african american hair)?

i have never had a hair cut since someone failed to tell me that you should have a hair cut. im 13 yrs old and my hair is about 4-6 inches long all around. if your african american, how many times do you cut your? what are the effects of not cutting/cuting your hair regularly? and since my hair is already short, should i even cut it at all?

please give as much info as possible. i want to make the right decision.

( will be giving out 10 points) and thumbs ups to good help.

thank you

To prevent split\dead ends you should have your hair clipped every six to eight weeks, but if your hair is healthy then I'd suggest every three to four months depending on your hair type. But the best advise I could give you would be to go to a recommended salon\beautician and get your hair consulted on. And I mean a professional not someone in the neighborhood who does hair. You want someone who paid to learn how to help your hair. good luck

in 13 years you never had a haircut, and your hair is only 6 inches long? how does that work

you need to get a haircut every couple months to get rid of the split ends and such, go get one! right now!

Having your hair cut is only of benefit if the ends are dry/damaged/split.

If your hair is in good condition %26amp; you are happy with the length/style, then there is no reason at all to get it cut.

Lucky You!! :)

** For the the previous answer;

It is only 4-6 inches long because of the tight curl, if you straightened it out it would be 3-4 times that length!
