I’m a guy and I have one every 2 or 3 months. But at work I think some guys have one more than once a month because they look groomed all the time.
PS: I trim my beard once a week. I’m talking about haircuts specifically.
Every 1 or 2 weeks. I buzz the whole thing with #1 guard on the clippers.
I buzz my head about once a month, otherwise I start to look bald.
As a woman I get my hair cut every 8 weeks.
I would only cut my hair once a month or later if not for the neck hair. I get a cut once that shit becomes too long.
Whenever my wife complains I look homeless and is willing to spend 20 minutes cutting it for me.
Which is roughly every 2-3 months I think. It’d be less often if I didn’t have a wife and had to pay someone to do it, that shit gets expensive.
Every six weeks. Don’t trim the beard though. Business up top… zz top down low
6 to 8 weeks. If I allowed it, my vanity would have it closer to every 4 weeks but that’s an expensive indulgence so I just look like a need a haircut a lot of the time.
4-6 weeks
Alright since we are on this topic, I am gonna ask how y’all keep a straight face when a mirror is placed in front of you for about 30-45m straight?
I cannot, for the love of god, stop my smile at all. Especially when I’m slowly transitioning to a new look, I just can’t stop smiling when a mirror is placed in front of me. Feels extremely awkward when a guy is working on you and you starts smiling for no reason.
That being said, I’m due for a haircut now. Planning to do it by this weekend. Last I got my haircut was in June(!). So, a good 2½ months.
Why would you want to stop yourself from smiling? Getting a fresh haircut and seeing it take shape sounds like a very good reason to smile.
You… smile… in front of a mirror? Why?
Umm… idk I am just too smiley ig. When I’m actively doing something infront of mirror I do not smile like a maniac tho. It only happens when I’m just sitting idle and seeing my face.
I have long hair but I touch up my undercut every other week or so, i just do it myself
I think once every 2 months is about average. I wait 5 months.
I think you’re technically supposed to every two weeks. I have very short hair and that’s how often I cut mine to keep its style. I taught myself to cut my own hair though, for most people this would be very expensive.
why would you be supposed to cut your hair in any specific way? are you in the army or something?
no lol, my hair is really short on the sides, like a couple centimeters. If you have super short hair then you’re supposed to cut it every 2 weeks to keep it short. It’s longer on top.
I don’t get my hair cut that frequently, but to each their own. This was downvoted to zero when I found it, I like to imagine one of the “six months” or “never” guys were responsible.
My spouse goes every 4 weeks. He has an undercut and doesn’t trust my shaky hands with the trimmer :D
My hair grows fast enough that if I wanted it to stay a specific style it’d need cut probably more than once a month. However, I typically just change the way I part it as it grows. It doesn’t look too bad at any stage, though I basically just slowly transition from looking like a fed to looking like the guys in the fourth Harry Potter movie lol.
It takes about 3-4 months for it to go from 2in on top to being annoyingly long. Probably closer to 5 for it to be like getting in my mouth when the wind blows.
And hey you can have long hair and still look “groomed” btw, just got to figure out how to style it right
to looking like the guys in the fourth Harry Potter movie
I think it’s called the “wolf’s mane” look. Pretty awesome.
And hey you can have long hair and still look “groomed” btw
I want to go for this look but i need an ungodly amount of shampoo since my hair gets sweaty. Let’s see
I cut my hair myself, whenever I want a change :) (once every few months)
Same, except I kinda just cut off a bit here and there as adjustments every now and then. So I never really have a new haircut, it stays somewhat stable.
Probably between 1-2 months for me.
3-6 months, just self cut for the first time. Longer hair, don’t know what to call the style. Like a bob with the back 80% heavily layered and the front hair being the longest (a bit past my chin).
For both men and women, the type of hair style matters. Long flowing can go 6 months between cuts. The shorter the cut and the more detail the more often it needs to be cut. 6 weeks is often the case for short cuts. If shaved parts, every week might be necessary. In warm weather more often than in cold weather.
Not often enough. It looks pretty ratty but the time I force myself to go. Maybe 4-6 months?
I’ve always been annoyed by haircuts so it’s difficult to motivate myself to go. However by the time I settle on a new location to regularly use, they close down. Then it’s that much more annoying o find a new place I don’t hate
Annoyed by haircuts? Interesting. And the places you like often close? I’m very curious about this because I just go to super cuts or whatever but corporate chain and it’s always super relaxing to me. I get to tell them to do the same thing they always have done (since it’s saved in my profile based on phone number), then just sit, relax and close my eyes for like 15 minutes while someone cuts my hair for me and then leave looking better than when I arrived.
Certainly some of it is on me: I don’t like to plan ahead enough for an appointment but also don’t want to wait. I prefer a place that does walk-ins and I learn when they’re unlikely to have a line.
Supercuts is a great example. My town had two of them so I went to each several times before learning that one was consistently better, so I started going there regularly. Then they closed. So now I’m going to the other but they’re a mess: employees consistently do noticeably worse job and are not attentive to incoming customers. Imi don’t think I set a high bar but they’re not achieving it.
My town has been going through a generational and demographic shift so all the old places are being replaced with shiny new ones. While I’m sure those new ones will do a basic haircut, they put so much effort into being shiny and modern with modern hairstyles or hairstyles traditionally associated with various demographics. Great but why can’t we keep it simple? Why can’t I walk in, ask for a haircut, give my preferences And just get it done?
3 to 4 months. From short to thick helmet style and it starts getting annoying to style and it starts generating too much heat inside to survive.
Quarterly
Almost never. I had long hair in high school and chopped it senior year due to this thing I was doing yearbook picture wise. Took years for it to grow out and this is where I made the big mistake. For versatility I went with a mullet because of I could throw a pony tail into my collard shirt and look all conformy. As I aged my hair grew slower and slower and it never grew all that fast to begin with. At this point my wife will clean me up before an inteview or such but otherwise I don't get it cut.
Our male apprentices, especially when they are eager to “score,” have a haircut 2-3 times a month.
Then again, they also take their cars to the big car wash every single week, and meticulously vacuum the interior afterwards.
I go with a ponytail, and haven’t had even a trim in 2 years.
If I had my preference I’d go in about once every few months to have more vivid hair dye applied, and get a trim then.
About once a week. I’m bald though.
I haven’t had my hair cut since ‘08.
I could probably go get it done, but it looks alright and doesn’t seem to grow further than the small of my back.
I’m a 40-year old woman.
You should probably trim the ends! 17 years is…kind of way too long to go without a trim. You might have split ends.
Every three to four months and I cut my own hair now too
I only get my hair cut like 2 to 3 times a year. Basically when it starts getting in my eyes and becoming a nuisance. I rarely trim my facial hair too. Just once it starts becoming annoying to eat messier foods.
for me if it reaches past the top of my ear it becomes super annoying.
I’m a long hair but I still go once a month or so to get a trim.

I shave my head 2-3 times a week.
