5 Signs It's Time for a Haircut (And Why You Shouldn't Wait)

We get it—life gets busy, and haircuts can slide down the priority list. But at Welcome & Wanted Hair Bar in Canton, we see the difference a timely cut makes. Here are five signs your hair is telling you it's time to book an appointment.
1. Your Ends Look Different from Your Roots
If your ends appear lighter, more frizzy, or have a different texture than the rest of your hair, those are damaged ends. Split ends don't heal—they travel up your hair shaft if left unchecked. A trim removes damage before it spreads, keeping your hair healthier overall.
2. Your Style Won't Hold
When your hair won't hold a curl, won't stay straight, or just feels limp no matter what products you use, it might not be a product problem—it's often a cut problem. Dead ends lack structure, and without structure, styling becomes frustrating. A fresh cut restores shape and makes styling actually work again.
3. It's Been More Than 8-12 Weeks
Even if your hair "looks fine," most hair types benefit from a trim every 8-12 weeks. This prevents damage from accumulating and keeps your style looking intentional rather than grown-out. If you have a pixie cut or short style, you might need more frequent trims to maintain the shape—every 4-6 weeks.
4. Your Hair Tangles More Than Usual
Increased tangling, especially at the ends, signals damage. Healthy hair has a smooth cuticle that glides over itself. Damaged hair has a rough, raised cuticle that catches and tangles. If you're spending more time detangling than usual, it's time for a trim.
5. You're Bored with Your Look
Sometimes the sign isn't damage—it's just wanting something new. Life's too short for boring hair. Whether you want a subtle change or a dramatic transformation, we're here for it. Our stylists specialize in creating cuts that fit your lifestyle, hair texture, and maintenance preferences.
