Once or twice a year just for a trim , I have mid length hair that doesn’t grow any longer .

nokitchen · 16/10/2022 15:02

When it's long about twice a year. Now it's short every two months

PeloFondo · 16/10/2022 15:06

Once or twice a year. Long wavy hair and it holds the shape

Every 2 years or so, I get 9-12 inches cut off my hair and donate it to the Little Princess trust to make wigs for young cancer patients.

About every 3-5 years.
I let it grow until it irritates me, then I have a lot chopped off. I don't know why I do it that way; I always enjoy having it cut and wish I'd done it sooner.

Around every 8 weeks. Mobile hairdresser comes and does all of us. Mine could go longer as could dd's but the boys look disfunction distinctly shaggy and have their hair in their eyes by 8 weeks.

JamSandle · 16/10/2022 15:51

Once a year (long hair)

I love getting my hair cut. Usually between 7-10 weeks by which time it needs it. I have thick wavy hair so it needs it regularly.

pilates · 16/10/2022 16:01

2/3 times a year

emmathedilemma · 16/10/2022 14:20

Twice a year, maybe three times

Same

Cece92 · 16/10/2022 16:09

Once every year or 2. I'm really bad I let it grow to my bum then go in for the cut. My hair grows so fast. I was just thinking about getting booked in for a cut actually xx

I do it myself once every 6 months or so and visit a salon probably once every couple of years or before any special event for which I need to look somewhat decent.

Partypoooooper · 16/10/2022 16:19

Twice a year max.

RosesAndHellebores · 16/10/2022 16:21

Once every 6/7 weeks because it combines with colour.

TroysMammy · 16/10/2022 16:24

Annually.

Same!

yerdaindicatesonbends · 16/10/2022 16:28

Roughly once every five years and I’m due soon lol. I’ve been cutting my own hair most of my adult life. Although there was a time I would go religiously every 6 weeks!

MrsDThomas · 16/10/2022 17:09

Annually. Its enough

Axlcat · 16/10/2022 17:13

About every 5 months but I have curly hair. Could go longer but prefer not to have it too long!

mondaytosunday · 16/10/2022 17:28

About four times a year. I have thick wavy hair and it looks fine until suddenly it doesn't.

AutumnLea · 16/10/2022 17:33

Twice a year. Christmas and summer.

Sundayisworst · 16/10/2022 17:34

Twice since 2019. Both times for special occasions and both times absolutely dreadful.

popandchoc · 16/10/2022 17:37

About twice a year, it's pretty long so just have a few inches off each time.

Ponderingwindow · 16/10/2022 17:39

I cut it myself now. Started during Covid out of necessity and realized that for my hair it was ridiculously easy. I started with just a straight cut with hair cutting scissors and then upped my game with the scissors with teeth that soften up the ends. Whenever I look in the mirror and get frustrated with it. Tends to be about every 6 months.

exLtEveDallas · 16/10/2022 17:39

Twice a year, Dec and July. I have it cut in a simple Bob style so it just sits on my shoulders. I cut my fringe myself (and apologise to the hairdresser!) and box colour it every 6-8 weeks.
