Your hair, how often to you cut or have it cut?

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

My hair and I have a love-hate relationship. I have stick-straight hair from my ears forward, slightly wavy hair behind my ears and the lower half of the back of my head. I get it cut whenever I hate it. Which is about once every fourth month, a trim. Is shoulder length now as I just cut off about a foot when it got to the point I was avoiding washing it due to the time it takes to do it when it is really long.

I go to a salon for layering my long hair in the spring or summer, but I haven't gone in a long time so it's kinda out of control.

Do those of you with long hair know that when you get it cut you can donate it for wigs for cancer patients? Back when my son had long hair and got it chopped off he did that.

When I was ready during Covid Locks for Love did not accept donations.

I get a postcard in the mail every month for a $10.99 cut at Great Clips and I have a lady I like so that’s what I do. Just an inch off the bottom every time.

About every 6-8 weeks. No2 all over. Had it done yesterday

I cut my own when it gets about 8 inches long. I am not going to be in any beauty contests anyway. If I goof, it will eventually grow out. I remember when I first started doing it, I gave myself a Cyndi Lauper. Believe me, it takes practice.

My wife gives me a buzz cut about every 2 months. I have a full head of hair & hate it when it sticks out over my ears. Never been vane about my hair. My mother wouldn't let me buzz my father's before he passed.

I owned a Flowbee (pd $30 used / sold for $50) for years and liked that I could cut my own with it. Gave it to my DD in AZ, she sold it at her yard sale without my approval. Was going to buy a new one but my wife balked at the idea, she liked the clippers just as well.

I mostly wear my hair up so, get it trimmed when I think the ends need it or, sometimes, for a change I have it cut to between chin and shoulder length and wear it loose for a while.

I cut my own hair when it gets too long for me.

For those of you who cut their own remember not to cut your hair when drinking wine

I cut my husband's hair with clippers every 2 months. I tend to wait too long in between hair cuts for myself. I'm usually desperate after I have butchered my hair a few times trimming the ends.

My hair's maximum growth is about mid-back, I'm amazed that Dusty and Patty can still grow hair so long!

I cut my own just below the shoulder, hubs cuts it "straight" across the back. He has a slight astigmatism that gives it a bit of a slant, but I don't care. Like Pendle I have enough curl to cover up mistakes.

I have a fear of shampoo sinks with that hard edge cutting into the back of the neck. My healthy mother came home from having her hair done and had a fatal stroke the next morning.

Excatly why I don't get my hair washed at salon. BTW same thing with my mother..she was very healthy!

I used to clip my husbands hair every couple of months but now he shaves his entire head every day. He uses a 5 blade razor. It really suites him to.

 

[RedAlert76]

Every 2.5 to 3 months. In fact we both get ours done this Friday. Due to arm and hand issues,can no longer cut my own

I go to a local old school mens barber shop every four to six weeks. He just raised the price of a haircut by $5 but I don't mind because he does a good job and I enjoy the masculine environment.

Sorry for the loss of your mother. Ive never heard of this sort of thing happening before.

 

[OregonGuy]

I cut my own. Don't remember last ti,e.

There is nothing on top so I treasure what us left.

 

[Jules]

It’ll nearly three weeks since I had it cut. I made sure she cut it shorter and thinned it more. After I was thinking that maybe I overdid it. It’s already losing shape and my next appointment isn’t for another three weeks.

It was over 20 years ago. I do have neck issues also another reason I wash my own. I read an article years later that it was more common to happen than known.
