How often do you have your hair cut and coloured?

[hollisatze]

I think I'll have a higher frequency response by posting in style and beauty than if I posted elsewhere but still, how often do you get your hair cut and coloured?

I used to be on a 10-12 week cycle of foils and cut which has reduced to 6-8 week cycle but due to increasing costs I'm thinking of stretching it out again.

Wondering what the norm is around here?

Every 6 months. Just the balayage though.

10-12 weeks. It depends on the colour though, I have balayage with a root smudge close to my natural colour and no greys so can get away with it. I have balayage done every other appointment and just a root touch up in between.

I stopped colouring this year and growing out my grey. I used to do every 6 weeks when my hair was a very coppery red. Then I went brunette and had it done every 4 weeks. It was also quite short then so needed regular trims.

My hair is longer now (shoulder length) and I just have it trimmed as and when. I am having it done on Saturday. Then the next time I get it done will be to cut the rest of the colour out, so will wait maybe 3/4 months.

One of the reasons I decided to grow the grey out was the cost and time it was taking to keep up to it. Personally, I would try and drag it out as long as I could between visits.

Posted too soon- however a very light colour if you're naturally dark, or a dark colour if you have a lot of greys will need touching up more frequently

[CandyflossKid]

I have short hair which grows out of style quickly so have it cut every 6 weeks.
I colour my own hair with a box dye (can't afford salon prices) which is getting more frequent as the greys are appearing at an alarming rate (and I'm not ready to embrace grey hair just yet)

[NoDairyNoProblem]

I used to be every six weeks but I have stretched it to every seven weeks. I also alternate foils.

1. foils, roots colour, toner and cut
2. root colour, toner and cut

[HelloBunny]

Haircut every six months or once a year. Depends on how long it gets.

Colour, none. I don’t have any grey hair, and haven’t done highlights since my 20s. My hair is in good nick.

[TheOGCCL]

I go to the hairdresser about 5 times a year. I get quite a lot cut off so I don’t have to go back within ten minutes and don’t usually have the same style so I’m not maintaining anything in particular. I do my own colour at home, with mixed results but again that doesn’t stay the same each time.

[Lookingformymarbles]

About 3 times a year, maybe 4!

I have dark hair and the greys are starting to show though, not enough to go cold turkey though (tried during lockdown)I so my amazing hairdresser has given me various highlights/lowlights that blend really well with the grey and my natural colour so there is no obvious line of regrowth - I did point out she's doing herself out of more custom from me but as I said, she's lovely

[Auntieobem]

Stopped colouring my hair years ago. Get it cut maybe every 6 months?

[OverTheHillAndDownTotherSide]

I have a mobile hairdresser for foils every 3 months. I then apply crazy colour over the top, and repeat monthly (topping up my dark brown roots as needed).

I visit a different hairdresser for the cut, around half way between foils.

My hair is my thing. :)

[kitcat15]

Every 3 to 4 months….used to go 2 monthly pre covid

[Ballsaque]

Whole head of foils every 8 weeks (blonde). Cut maybe twice a year,my hair is longish.

I have a mobile hairdresser so it’s cheaper.

[mondaytosunday]

Cut about every three to four months. Colour I do at home around three months or when the roots look appalling. I have wavy thick hair just above my shoulders.

[spanieleyes]

Cut every 6-8 weeks
Foils every 3/4 months, depending on special events!

[Yarrawonga]

I get it cut, but not coloured, every three months or so. Thick, blonde, very wavy/curly hair. Shoulder length.

[NewToWoo]

Coloured - never. Cut 2-3 times a year.

[cathyandclare]

I've stretched out to 10 weeks and I buy the professional colour and do my roots once in between.

[sandgrown]

Used to have roots every 5 weeks but had to stretch to 6 weeks due to cost . In Covid started to grow out the grey but not ready to go fully grey. I am a much lighter colour and have foils , to blend in the grey , about every 8 weeks but will stretch this if I can’t afford it .

[DoubleYolker]

Get mine trimmed every 2 months.

I decided a year ago to stop getting mine coloured. I’ve had greys since my 20’s and 20 years of a trip to the hairdresser every 8 weeks (plus the cost) was getting really tedious.

I looked around and realised that men don’t have to bother with it so why should I? I’ve had a few wobbles, but now like it. Its more grey around the front than the sides and back. I wish more women would embrace their grey so that I don’t feel like such a freak show!

Sorry, missing the point of the thread, but please let’s have more grey women 😁

[InTheFutilityRoomEatingBiscuits]

Coloured, never. Cut approx once every four years. My last hair cut was in late 2017 and it could do with doing again.

[ChristmasCakeAndStilton]

This came up in active, rather than me searching style and beauty.
Hair cut every 4-5 months.
Never coloured.

[ChristmasCakeAndStilton]

@DoubleYolker I'm going grey. Currently sporting a great white streak over one temple... hope that one evens out soon!

[PeloFondo]

Don't colour it
Cut every 6-9 months but I dust the ends regularly at home

[DearStranger]

I get it cut every 8 weeks, I used to get it coloured (highlights) every 8 weeks too, but try and get the colour done a bit less often now because it was affecting the condition of my hair - which is crappy fine hair that breaks easily. I have highlights that are only slightly lighter than my natural hair colour (I'm quite fair anyway).
