How much do you spend on your hair a year?

[badbaduncle]

We were doing a family budget and my biggest and really only personal expense is my hair. I think I am well within the national average for a 47 year old woman, DH thinks it's ludicrous (even though he spends equally on trainers and clothes). So how much a year does your crowning glory set you back?

£100 (2 haircuts x £50ish).

And then maybe another £25 or so on shampoo for a year.

Do you not buy clothes OP? Have any hobbies?

But anyway, I hope you come to agreement with your DH, but if you both get an equal amount of personal money, that's affordable within your budget, it shouldn't really matter how you spend it.

Our local top salon has a training day once a week so I can get a free cut and blow dry - I leave a £5 tip ... but get at least a couple of decent coffees or cold drinks so that's a bargain. I go four times a year. I used to go a training college but the last time the experience was not good .. no supervision at all and a 'couldn't care less' attitude.

Shampoo - £1 a month averaged over the year, don't bother with conditioner - never colour my hair - embrace the grey. .

I only get mine cut every 3 months so £120 a year. I couldn't really justify more on our budget, it's why I stopped dying it!

Around £190 including shampoo and product. I go to a barber and have it cut about every 6 weeks.

Around £400

Haircut £30 every 6 weeks = £250 ish per year
shampoos and conditioner £9/month = £108pr year
moroccanoil curl creme and shine products approx £200 per year

grand total £560 ish

About £100.

£45 for a cut & blow 2 or 3 times a year. Aldi / supermarket shampoo and conditioner.

I have my hair cut maybe 3 times a year by a mobile hairdresser at £15 a time, and then maybe 3 times a year she just cuts my fringe for £5, so £60 total

About £160 - I pay £20 for a dry cut every 6/7 weeks

Mid length hair, don't colour, around 6 cuts a year at £40 each, so £240

It will vary wildly, depends on hair length and whether you get a colour in the hairdresser. How much have you budgetted OP?

About £200 a year

I get it cut every 4 months, highlighted twice a year

1 haircut every 12 months plus products, hairties, clips etc....probabli around 75£ per year

Colour every 3 months at £70 a time, £210. Wash, cut and blow dry every 8 weeks at £65 a time, £420. I don’t spend much on products.

I use Faith in Nature shampoo and conditioner which I love and a bottle lasts me a couple of months. I try to buy it when it’s on offer in Holland and Barrett or Waitrose. Probs about £60 on products.

So grand total around £700. Hair is just at shoulder length.

13 x £60 for colour & cut every 4 weeks I’m moving from brunette to grey and I hate it!

Joico hair products bundles £50 every 4 months
£780 + £150 = £930

£1340

I have mine trimmed every three or four years as I like it long, so most is the time it's nothing other than shampoo from Tesco

About £1500. Mostly colour.

Annual haircut, wash and blow dry is £35. Wash every three days with cheap Tresseme shampoo.

I’ve just started getting my hair done again like I used to before I had kids, except I go 8 weeks between appointments now rather than 6. Having just worked it out, it’s £975 a year for full head of highlights, toner, wash cut and blow dry.

about £1200. Shocking really

Are we counting things like replacing straighteners and hairdryers and all that sort of thing ?
colour wise I need to get mind of more often I only paid 150 last year for full head of highlights but in retrospect I look shit for 50% of the year so that needs doing at least once more often.

About £500 a year

Abt £80 per year

Highlights/root touch ups - 6x a year so around £600.
Shampoos and products - £100.
=£700.
