I haven’t been to the salon since November. The hairdresser said we should go every six weeks Confused but that seems expensive and I’m trying to grow my hair... if I went that often my hair would never grow!

Every two weeks at the minute but I'm currently sporting a buzz cut (grade 0) and I like to keep it so sharp that you can cut your hands on it Blush

Every 6 weeks

Candyflosss · 28/04/2018 20:12

Every 2 years. I trim and colour my own hair. My local hair dresser charged me £52 for haircut, re styled and blow dry. My husband didnt even noticed the difference, definitely no restyling, what a rip off, never again. We won't be taking our son there anymore.

EdWinchester · 28/04/2018 20:12

Every 6-9 months.

Shitshitshitty · 28/04/2018 20:15

Once or twice a year.

Freyanna · 28/04/2018 20:16

About 3 times a year, always before Christmas and holidays.

My hair is all one length.

I colour it myself about every 6 weeks.

Shitshitshitty · 28/04/2018 20:16

I have an undercut and shave it myself.

DairyisClosed · 28/04/2018 20:18

About once a year these days. The water quality where I live is terrible so it is going to look shut regardless.

AliTheMinx · 28/04/2018 20:21

I try to go every 8 weeks, but realistically it's every 3-4 months now I'm back to full-time work and every weekend seems to be consumed with children's parties! Luckily my hair is naturally very blonde, so I don't need colour. It's a vague bob style, but when it gets a bit long and unwieldy I wear it up. I had a sharp bob cut a few weeks ago, so am planning to go back after 8 weeks to keep the shape. That cut cost just over £50, which is more than I usually pay, but it's a better cut from a nice salon, so worth it, I think. I feel lucky that I don't need colour put on, as it seems so expensive!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates going to the hairdresser. I thought I was in the minority of women who hate going.

I have long curly hair and go roughly 3-4 times a year. I'm tempted to cut it short again because I hate how long it takes to blow dry it straight at this length.

Twounder1 · 28/04/2018 20:23

I've been once in my life.

I'm lucky my mom is naturally gifted in hairdressing self taught 😅
But mine isn't cut that often at all. Last and first time I went to Francesco's and they did a messed up job of highlights and cut it so jagged! I was mortified for the price!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 28/04/2018 20:24

Not very often. My hairdresser jokes about my annual haircut Blush I just really don't like having my head touched by other people...

adaline · 28/04/2018 20:24

I do it myself at home - not been to the hairdressers in about four years.

museumum · 28/04/2018 20:29

Every 8 weeks. It’s a naturally curly graduated bib that becomes HUGE if not cut regularly

IamPickleRick · 28/04/2018 20:36

Once a year. Long hair, I don’t use any heat or colour on it, only wash it every 5 days so it stays in good condition. Use Moroccan oil with every wash. I only go when it starts to get knotty.

Bambamber · 28/04/2018 20:41

I trim my own hair. My fringe I do monthly and the rest every other month. I only go to the hairdressers if I would like to change the style

MereDintofPandiculation · 28/04/2018 21:07

I haven't been since 1970.

Katedotness1963 · 28/04/2018 21:09

I haven't had a hair cut since October. Before that it was about four years.

Mum2jenny · 28/04/2018 21:10

Twice a year max

x2boys · 28/04/2018 21:13

I haven't been in about six years I do my own hair cut and colour I hate salons with a passion all that who last cut your hair and you should come every six weeks bollocks if they were less judgemental I might go more often Hmm

HunterHearstHelmsley · 28/04/2018 21:15

Every 8 weeks for a cut. I have fine hair so it needs it otherwise it looks shit.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 28/04/2018 21:16

Colour every 6 week
Cut 12 weekly

rotavixsucks · 28/04/2018 21:16

Probably about once every 18 months, I always intend to grow the highlights out then get fed up and go get it done again.

PurpleTraitor · 28/04/2018 21:18

Five times since my eighteenth birthday so about once every three years on average.

Aquamarine1029 · 28/04/2018 21:19

I haven't been to a salon in 15 years. I absolutely hate it. Luckily, my husband is great at giving me a trim. My hair is long and straight, so "styling" isn't an issue.
