How fast does your hair grow / how often do you get it cut?

[ParcelP]

The getting it cut bit will probably relate to your style too but I find that mine grows super fast. I got it cut about 6 months ago to just below my shoulders and it's probably grown nearly 15cm since then.

Before that I hadn't cut it for about two years and it'd grown past my bum.
I don't want to get it all the time but it just gets too long! How often do you cut your hair?

[DesertOrDessert]

About once every 9 months. I probably get 4-6 inches taken off at a time.

[BackforGood]

Mine is in a shorter style so probably about every 10 weeks or so.
Yours sounds like my dds - she has it cut as short as it will go and still be long enough to put in a ponytail, then before you can turn round it's off down her back again.

[Enjolrass]

Every four weeks because I have a very short style and it grows really quick. I have decided to grow it as it's costing a fortune.

Dd can grow her hair from a bob to her waist in a year. Luckily she likes the hair long now, so she has 3 trims a year.

[PollyPerky]

Supposedly, hair grows around 1cm a month- so 1 inch and a bit in 12 weeks.

I get mine cut about every 8-10 weeks depending on how much was chopped off before. I always ask for around 2cms, and my hair is mid-length. I can go for longer between cuts but suddenly it starts looking a it tatty and loses shape (long layers).

[SkibadeeDoodle]

Its long and I haven't had it cut for a record 16 months, although I colour it at home. It does need a god 2-3 inches lobbed off the end if I'm honest, but have got 'the hairdresser fear' at the moment.

Usually, I would go 2-3 times a year. My hair grows fast, but it doesn't need a trim every 6 weeks. No way.

When I had a short bob, I had it done every 8 weeks with monthly fringe trims.

[WitchWay]

Since stopping having it cut & coloured every 6 weeks I've been getting trims every 8-10 weeks while the dye has grown out.

[Eigg]

I have very fast growing hair.

I've grown it from ear length to waist length in a year previously.

I get it cut every six weeks just now but the style is designed to accomodate my fast growing hair so that it looks nice even between cuts.

[Karcheer]

I get mine highlighted every 8 weeks but only cut twice a year it's currently just below my shoulders as I had it cut in dec, won't be cut now till June or July. It grows about a cm a month on ave but more some months and less others.

[Youvegottobekidding]

I wish mine was fast growing! I've tried to grow mine unsuccessfully back to mid-back length for the last, 6 years but my stupid hair colouring obsession put a stop to that & I keep having to to get regular 'chop offs!' Don't think mine will ever grow long again now, it changed in texture as soon as I hit my 40's...and I've tried the hair growth shampoos, which don't work, not on me anyway! No, it's time to down tools as they say, well hair colours should I say & see if I can get this crowning glory to grow! Oh, I usually cut it myself, or I might go to a local salon every 6 months & get a proper cut!

[CremeEggThief]

Mine is very curly and rarely looks longer than shoulder length. I had it cut to collarbone length 2 and a half years ago and it's now about 2 or 3 inches past my shoulders, but only looks just shoulder length.

So jealous of people whose hair grows so long, so quickly!

[Judydreamsofhorses]

Fast - about an inch and a half every six weeks. Mine is in a Louise Brooks type bob so the fringe looks shaggy towards the end. My hairdresser says she's never seen such speedily growing hair.

[MrsPear]

Shoulder length that should be cut every two months because it goes out rather than down.

[Savagebeauty]

Mine is cut every six weeks....short choppy bob. I don't suit long hair at all so it never gets past jaw length.
I had flowing locks about 40 years ago but short hair since I was 19.

[suzannecaravaggio]

Does the rate of hair growth really vary from person to person?

All very well saying it took x amount of time to get to waist length, the actual length will depend on how tall you are

[Cocolepew]

Cut it myself evey 4-6 weeks, its very short atm because I'm cutting the dye out so
sniping at it every week now.
It depends on my health to whether it grows well or not.

[TSSDNCOP]

Like stink, and it goes postal in the sun. It doesn't just need cutting every 6 weeks (it's a very short style) but radically thinning out too.

[PennyPants]

Mine is bra strap length. This time last year it was about 4" shorter so pollyperky is about right in my case.
I have it trimmed about 4 times a year just the ends and nip off any straggly bits in between myself.
