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.

How long is it when you next get it cut?

Duvetdweller · 16/10/2022 17:57

About 4 times a year but I get it blow dried a lot

AriettyHomily · 16/10/2022 17:59

Two or three times a year, I do get it styled if I'm going somewhere worth it. My hair is long and low maintenance in terms of cutting.

AnApparitionQuipped · 16/10/2022 18:00

Never. I trim off my own split ends. My hair doesn't naturally grow very long, so it stays at the same length by itself.

Depends on the style, tbh.

when it was short, it was every 4 to 5 weeks.

At the moment I am growing my grey out (my hair is to my shoulders) so only having a trim when it’s looking untidy. Had it cut in august and planning another for December.

then probably leave it til my birthday in April and have go back short which will cut the colour out and leave me with just grey. Then grow it again.

Probably every 3-4 months. In my lounge, by my son who is not a hairdresser. But he can cut a straight line.

Trinity69 · 16/10/2022 18:02

Twice a year if I'm lucky. My mum usually treats me as a birthday and Christmas present.

IDidntWearASmileToday · 16/10/2022 18:04

Once or twice a year, I wish I could afford it more often as I love going to the hairdresser's.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 16/10/2022 18:06

Every 10 weeks but could go longer if necessary.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 16/10/2022 18:07

Twice a year

PeloFondo · 16/10/2022 21:14

Should add I have hairdressing scissors and dust the ends of my hair every so often if it needs it

Justdancinginthedark · 16/10/2022 21:33

A trim every 4 weeks when I get my roots dyed.

Rubyupbeat · 16/10/2022 22:37

Every 6 to 8 weeks.

AffIt · 16/10/2022 22:40

Twice a year.

It's naturally curly (Type 3B/C ringlets), so I just get it trimmed to stop the ends looking ratty.

@pocketvenuss sorry, I missed this yesterday. I reckon my hair grows about 3 inches in 6 months, so not too much really. It’s the layers that bug me most because my hair becomes quite heavy and lank when they are too long.

ShakeYourFeathers · 17/10/2022 20:51

Every 4 months ish. For cut blow dry and colour. Have shortish hair

Everyone’s hair grows around 1cm a month.

No it doesn’t people’s hair grows at different rates and can be affected by loads of factors like genetics, age etc

Sundayisworst · 19/10/2022 09:10

No it doesn’t really vary. It’s science. It’s cells reproducing.

MassiveSalad22 · 19/10/2022 09:13

Haven’t been to a salon in about a decade because I have lots of cysts on my scalp I’m really embarrassed about 😬😬 anyone any thoughts on that? So chop my own whenever I feel like it - would like a nice proper cut but now I’ve been cutting it myself so long a hairdresser would be able to tell and tut at me?

QueenWenceslas · 19/10/2022 09:21

I have my colour done every five weeks, I have my balayage refreshed every ten weeks with a root regrowth appointment in between. I have the ends trimmed at most appointments but occasionally my hairdresser will decide it doesn’t need it at that time.

thelobsterquadrille · 19/10/2022 09:23

About twice a year/when I remember.

I do it myself though 🤷🏻‍♀️

exLtEveDallas · 19/10/2022 19:09

@Sundayisworst

…and ‘about’ 3 inches is ‘about’ 6cm - so ‘about’ 1cm a month.

issue?

NCFT0922 · 19/10/2022 19:10

Every 7 weeks for a trim and my highlights.

OhNoOhDearOh · 19/10/2022 19:15

6-9 months.
