A great haircut can transform how you look and feel — but keeping it looking sharp between visits takes a little know-how. Our stylists at Bigoudee Coiffure in Mount Lawley share their top tips for making your cut last as long as possible.
1. Use the Right Products for Your Hair Type
The products you use every day have a significant impact on how your cut holds up over time. Heavy products can weigh down fine hair, causing it to lose shape quickly. Lightweight styling products give structure without buildup. Ask your stylist to recommend the right product for your specific cut and hair type — it makes a much bigger difference than most people realise.
2. Blow-Dry with Intention
How you dry your hair dramatically affects how your style sits. Use a round brush to direct the hair in the way it was cut to fall — this activates the shape your stylist created. A diffuser is essential for curly or wavy cuts to enhance natural movement without frizz. Air drying without any technique tends to fight against your haircut’s shape.
3. Protect Your Hair at Night
Cotton pillowcases create friction that causes frizz, breakage, and shape disruption overnight — especially for curly or fine hair. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase is one of the easiest changes you can make. If your hair is longer, loosely braiding or tucking it before bed preserves your style and reduces tangles in the morning.
4. Refresh, Don’t Rewash
Washing your hair every day strips it of natural oils and causes your cut’s shape to reset constantly. Instead, learn to refresh your style on non-wash days. A small amount of the right styling product worked through dry hair, or a light spritz of water followed by your go-to product, can revive your cut beautifully without starting from scratch.
5. Keep Your Fringe Fresh
If you have a fringe, it grows faster than you think — and an overgrown fringe makes the whole cut look outdated. Many salons, including Bigoudee, offer a complimentary fringe trim between appointments. Do not wait until your full appointment to address it. A quick 10-minute trim keeps the entire look current.
6. Avoid Over-Handling
The more you touch and manipulate your hair throughout the day, the faster it loses shape. Try to style once and leave it. For cuts with texture or movement, less is often more — too much product or too much handling creates a heavy, flattened result rather than the effortless look your cut was designed for.
7. Stay on Schedule
The best way to extend the life of every haircut is to stay on a consistent trim schedule. Regular small trims remove damage before it travels up the shaft, keeping your hair healthy and your shape intact. A small trim every 6 to 8 weeks actually means you cut less hair overall than if you wait until things are completely overgrown.
