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.

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.

[–] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago

As a woman I get my hair cut every 8 weeks.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

I buzz my head about once a month, otherwise I start to look bald.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

Every 1 or 2 weeks. I buzz the whole thing with #1 guard on the clippers.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 hours ago

I shave it off once it starts looking like shit

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] gilokee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You should probably trim the ends! 17 years is...kind of way too long to go without a trim. You might have split ends.

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 3 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I cut my own hair every weekend. I'm in the military, though (and no, I don't just shave it). I found that I do it more to my liking (and consistently) than the barbers I've gone to, it only takes 20 minutes, I don't have to pay $30, and I can shower immediately after. I use a 6 (3/4 inch) on top, a 3 (3/8 inch) around the curve transitioning to the sides, and then fade down from there, 2 to 1.5 to 1 and finally .5 (1/16 inch) around my ears, side-burns, and most of the back. Keeps everything clean, I always look good, and I spend about $40 every year or two.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Every three to four months and I cut my own hair now too

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 20 hours ago

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.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 3 points 22 hours ago

About once a week. I'm bald though.

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.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

I really don't keep track of the interval. I cut it when ever it starts to intrude into my field of vision.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

4-6 months. It's frankly too long, but I just don't want to bother...

I think same as you 3 months or even 4 months

[–] Daedskin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

My last haircut was in October 2019 when I decided I wanted to, starting then, go to an every-six-months haircut schedule

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

I shave my head 2-3 times a week.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

About once a month I have more or less all the hairs on my head cut

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

every 3 months if possible, if it gets too long my atopic dermatitis will start to act up because of the long hair irritating the skin, plus long hair keeps allergens around longer.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

What is it, September? Let’s see, last one was…. February.

I retired in January. lol

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

used to go once a month or so, but then covid lockdowns happened and the barber I liked actually complied with the regulations (which is a good thing), which made it more inconvenient than I though it was worth to get a haircut. At first I figured I'd go back once things started returning to normal, but then that took a while and I never did. So, I haven't gotten an actual haircut in almost six years.

I did start getting the ends cleaned up every six months or so about a year ago though.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

Depends on the style I'm going for, when my depression isn't an issue anyway.

In recent years, every month or every 2-3 weeks if I want to appear more groomed. I'll be getting another mohawk (I used to be a fan of them) this year, which would require shaving the sides every two days.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I let it all grow in winter for warmth. Once it starts to warm up I start shaving my head twice a week. When the heat of summer arrives I shave my beard off and it gets added to the bi-weekly shaving.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 17 hours ago

I shaved my head every day or so

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I try to do every 6 weeks

If I'm going to a wedding or something at the 4+ week mark I'll get it done early

If I don't get it done until 8+ weeks it starts to get into an unmanageably scruffy zone

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don't ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Every 6-8 weeks. 2 weeks before my next appointment my hair starts to look like shit, only to look great 3 days before.
