A fresh-off-the-clippers cut can look a touch too sharp in photos that last forever. You want the cut to have “settled” — a few days of growth so it sits naturally.
The timing rule
- ▸Short / faded styles: cut 3–5 days before. The fade softens just enough.
- ▸Longer / styled looks: cut 5–7 days before so it falls naturally.
- ▸Do a “test cut” a month out if you’re trying a new style — never experiment on the week of.
