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.

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Every three to four months and I cut my own hair now too
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
Once a year, sometimes once in two years. But I'm also not working in a job where my haircut matters.
Every 6-8 weeks. 2 weeks before my next appointment my hair starts to look like shit, only to look great 3 days before.
2 weeks before my next appointment
Is your local barber quite busy?
I always make a new appointment directly after my haircut, else I will get an appointment way too late. They are a bit busy and need a week in advance, but more importantly, I hate calling people.
4-6 months. It's frankly too long, but I just don't want to bother...
I really don't keep track of the interval. I cut it when ever it starts to intrude into my field of vision.
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.
Every 3 to 4 months I'd say. This is despite the fact that it's free because both my mom and sister are hairdressers.
Every month if you want to look sharp. I do every 2 since I care less.
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.

I am usually on a 6 month rhythm. Cut short and then slowly transition to longer hair and then cutting when it gets annoying. Currently I am letting it grow even longer, just to check how it looks. But I have curly hair, so my rhythm definitely wouldn't work on everybody
I have an electric cutter with a set length and just run it through my hair about once a week at the same time I'm doing my beard.
My scalp gets really itchy if my hair is too long and doing it weekly means it takes no time at all.
When I need too much of the shampoo :)
Every 5-6 weeks for me, once it starts growing over my ears on the sides
Every 6 weeks but my hair grows quite fast.
