No Stupid Questions

I shave it off once it starts looking like shit

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.

Quarterly

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.

No

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.

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.

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.

I cut my hair when it bothers me. I don't keep track of the interval.

Around 2004 for my last hairdresser haircut, and about twice a year I take a hand span off the end myself. I have my hair long and I eat a lot of protein so it grows quickly.

Beard on the other hand is weekly or thereabouts.

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.

I shaved my head every day or so

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every six weeks. Don't trim the beard though. Business up top... zz top down low

Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.

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.

I trim my beard about once a month.

I haven’t had a haircut in about a decade.

TIL most dudes on Lemmy grow long hair

haven't cut my hair in years, long hair supremacy.

When my wife states I'm looking too much like a murderhobo which can be from three months to a year depending.

Once a year. I look like an animal all the time

like every couple of years, but I'm thinking about moving to yearly

About once a week. I'm bald though.

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.

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.

whenever my family nags me about it too much lol

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

I retired in January. lol
