Women Try 150 New Hairstyles on Average Between Ages 15 and 65

Research shows the average woman changes her haircut about 150 times between ages 15 and 65.

On average, that's a new style twice a year and a fresh color once annually.

The Urge for Change
Five percent opt for a total makeover with every salon visit, while 47 percent make subtle tweaks. This itch often strikes during life's big moments—like weddings, motherhood, graduations, or milestone birthdays.

Sticking with Classics
Not everyone switches frequently: 15 percent have rocked the same look for five years, and 14 percent for over a decade.
