Once a year. I look like an animal all the time
Hey, me too! I love that my appearance progresses with the seasons. I like growing through different styles, and the ritual of the yearly cut.
I haven't had a haircut since I was 19 (I am currently 40).
Because of hair loss or do you have one hell of a mane?
One hell of a mane 😎
I am not jealous at all 😐
TIL most dudes on Lemmy grow long hair
Naturally
I bought the proper hardware to cut my own hair, learned how to do the fades. It's easy to keep it the same length all the time this way.
Mainly I just got sick of paying so much for a 10 minute cut.
Edit: I'm not gonna say it was smooth sailing from day 1 I should add, I buzz cut my failures off as I was learning a couple times lol.
Well, first let me say that you should go to the barber as often as you want, not as often as an average man does.
I personally go every 3 months because I have long hair and only need to get it into a bit of shape regularly. If I had a short hairstyle I would go more often.
About every 3-4 weeks.
Yeah, I used to go to a place where they'd schedule me out based on three weeks, which I liked better, but now this new place leaves it to me to remember and schedule myself. I don't remember, so it's closer to 4-5 weeks.
i shave my head twice a week, because i have the fantastic luck to have incredibly thick hair, and since 22, mpb.
But you prefer the bald look?
put it this way, i'm no patrick stewart. i did not pull the look off.
I think I had one back in the late 90s. Now-a-days nature takes care of it.
Started dating a girl who liked it when I grew it out... so haven't cut it just about ten years. She's gone, but the hair stayed. I never found a barber who could consistently cut it the way I liked, so the only alternative I could see is regularly buzzing everything off.
It's been like 6 months for me. I've gone over a year before. I have thrash metal hair though. lol.
🤘
Every 5-10 years as it's to expensive for me to get one and have to be incredibly lucky to get one.
I cut my hair approximately once every three months
I donate my hair about every 18 months. 😉
I gave up and just grew it out cos I would need one after like a month
3 weeks is my sweet spot. the barber is hot
A full haircut once a month with a cleanup 2 weeks in. My hair is thick as fuck and grows pretty quickly, so I need to stay on top of it.
I cut my own hair for years using clippers, but within the last few years started going to get it cut because they do a better job.
My husband has straight hair he keeps in a tight fade, like nearly bald on the sides to very short at the top, and gets his hair cut every 2 weeks. I (lady, curly hair) can go a year between, just get it cut in short layers and let them grow out to long layers. The two of my kids who like theirs short but not crazy short go a month or two between.
Basically the shorter it is, the more you have to cut it - hair grows, on average 1/2 inch (13mm) per month, so mine has a 6 inch tolerance (it doesn't really look like 6 inches of vertical growth since it isn't straight) but my husband, with such straight and short hair, has a quarter inch tolerance.
I cut my hair when it bothers me. I don't keep track of the interval.
I trim my beard about once a month.
I haven’t had a haircut in about a decade.
I shave my head in the shower every couple of days. Trim my beard once a week.
The last cut was in 1999 to clean up an undercut. It got longer for about 15 years after that. Now it gets shorter, thinner, and balder, every day.
Once a month.
It's actually become a bit of a self-care routine because I go to a Turkish barbers who'll also do ear hair burning off (nowhere near as intense as you're imagining), noise hair waxing, and a hot towel cut-throat shave.
I actually like the sensations from them all and I walk out feeling clean and fresh, gives me a monthly little boost of confidence.
Twice a year. I always go for a short cut and then grow it out until it annoys me.
I never cared about having a consistent look.
My spouse goes every 4 weeks. He has an undercut and doesn't trust my shaky hands with the trimmer :D
When my wife states I'm looking too much like a murderhobo which can be from three months to a year depending.
Every six weeks. Don't trim the beard though. Business up top... zz top down low
I cut my hair myself, whenever I want a change :) (once every few months)
I think once every 2 months is about average. I wait 5 months.
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.
Probably between 1-2 months for me.
