When I moved, I shaved my head. And when I went to grow it out, I became hypervigilant about how often I cut my hair (every two weeks) until I reached the proper length to be comfortable about growing it out. Now, I cut my hair evrey three months. I'd like to push it out, but I'm still not comfortable enough to extend it, and many articles online say that hair grows more quickly if cut every three months. I am wanting to really let me hair grow out, and I thought it'd be fun to see when everyone else cuts their hair.

My hair gets cut every 6 weeks (well pre covid) that is. I could go longer without it. I get my hair coloured every 12 weeks.

Pre-COVID, I used to get my hair cut every 3-4 months.

Now I haven't had it cut since before last March. Ir hasn't been this long since I graduated from university 30+ years ago.

During the pandemic I've been pretty lax about it. I have only cut it twice throughout the whole pandemic.

I cut my own. No set time to cut it. I trim it when it gets scruffy looking.

I used to get it cut about every 6 weeks. Since March I’ve had two hair cut appointments, the second was the other day. My mom has been doing what she can with my hair the rest of the time. She’s cut it about every 1.5 months. I need to wear a hat most places I go to.

I used to get it cut about twice a year, but I haven't got it cut since last March before Covid.

Yes, I had to scroll through my Google Calendar and Facebook, but it is looking like since March I've only had my hair cut in August and November. Crazy! My hair is very healthy. I could possible go longer without a haircut, but that seems so crazy to me. I can't tolerate not having my hair get messed with for very long. I am also planning on getting my hair fixed for my brother's wedding in the next few months. I mostly get my hair cut for the sake of pampering. I have always felt sooooooo pampered when I get my hair cut. It makes me feel so good to get a haircut. So I just don't know if I can hold out until the wedding.

Normally every 2-3 months. But not during covid, I work in person wearing a mask all day every day and my mask would get tangled in my hair so I am wearing my hair pulled bad in a pony tail so no I haven’t been to a hair dresser since September. Thankfully I have no grey hair and don’t need to dye my hair otherwise it be a different story

I used to do it like every 3-4 months most of my life. But recently I've had it done more often and I like the result. Actually I'm going to call my hairdresser to my home tomorrow. In my area, it's allowed that hairdressers visit clients at home. It's going to be after about 6-7 weeks.

My hair is short and extremely weak and thin. Fun fact, I'm a female and go to a cheap men's barber. Female hairdressers are much more expensive and often do worse job than the one for men. And a massive plus - no gossip! Absolute, peaceful silence the entire time 😁

Numbers 1-4 We learned them quickly @ a year ago. I think we might start a "So Wanna Get A Cheap Clip" No, we have been just doing it at home.

Usually a few times a year but I haven't cut it in a while.

I am usually the 3 months of the 3 to 12 month span. Thought I would mention that since that is a huge time range.

During the pandemic, I have had even fewer cuts, for obvious reasons. I have resorted to trimming my own bangs, but still wait for the hair salon to color my stray gray roots and trim the rest.
