How often do guys have a haircut?

haven't cut my hair in years, long hair supremacy.

I get mine done about every 1-2 months. Usually when it starts poking me in the ears and getting annoying.

My mate at work who's very fashion conscious gets his done every 3 weeks or so.

Once a year. I look like an animal all the time

TIL most dudes on Lemmy grow long hair

I haven't had a haircut since I was 19 (I am currently 40).

I bought the proper hardware to cut my own hair, learned how to do the fades. It's easy to keep it the same length all the time this way.

Mainly I just got sick of paying so much for a 10 minute cut.

Edit: I'm not gonna say it was smooth sailing from day 1 I should add, I buzz cut my failures off as I was learning a couple times lol.

About every 3-4 weeks.

Well, first let me say that you should go to the barber as often as you want, not as often as an average man does.

I personally go every 3 months because I have long hair and only need to get it into a bit of shape regularly. If I had a short hairstyle I would go more often.

i shave my head twice a week, because i have the fantastic luck to have incredibly thick hair, and since 22, mpb.

I think I had one back in the late 90s. Now-a-days nature takes care of it.

Started dating a girl who liked it when I grew it out... so haven't cut it just about ten years. She's gone, but the hair stayed. I never found a barber who could consistently cut it the way I liked, so the only alternative I could see is regularly buzzing everything off.

My husband has straight hair he keeps in a tight fade, like nearly bald on the sides to very short at the top, and gets his hair cut every 2 weeks. I (lady, curly hair) can go a year between, just get it cut in short layers and let them grow out to long layers. The two of my kids who like theirs short but not crazy short go a month or two between.

Basically the shorter it is, the more you have to cut it - hair grows, on average 1/2 inch (13mm) per month, so mine has a 6 inch tolerance (it doesn't really look like 6 inches of vertical growth since it isn't straight) but my husband, with such straight and short hair, has a quarter inch tolerance.

It's been like 6 months for me. I've gone over a year before. I have thrash metal hair though. lol.

Every 5-10 years as it's to expensive for me to get one and have to be incredibly lucky to get one.

I cut my hair approximately once every three months

I cut my hair when it bothers me. I don't keep track of the interval.

I donate my hair about every 18 months. 😉

I shave it off once it starts looking like shit

whenever my family nags me about it too much lol

3 weeks is my sweet spot. the barber is hot

I cut my own hair every weekend. I'm in the military, though (and no, I don't just shave it). I found that I do it more to my liking (and consistently) than the barbers I've gone to, it only takes 20 minutes, I don't have to pay $30, and I can shower immediately after. I use a 6 (3/4 inch) on top, a 3 (3/8 inch) around the curve transitioning to the sides, and then fade down from there, 2 to 1.5 to 1 and finally .5 (1/16 inch) around my ears, side-burns, and most of the back. Keeps everything clean, I always look good, and I spend about $40 every year or two.

I gave up and just grew it out cos I would need one after like a month

A full haircut once a month with a cleanup 2 weeks in. My hair is thick as fuck and grows pretty quickly, so I need to stay on top of it.

I cut my own hair for years using clippers, but within the last few years started going to get it cut because they do a better job.

Lemmy is not a good source for the average man's grooming habits

Once a month.

It's actually become a bit of a self-care routine because I go to a Turkish barbers who'll also do ear hair burning off (nowhere near as intense as you're imagining), noise hair waxing, and a hot towel cut-throat shave.

I actually like the sensations from them all and I walk out feeling clean and fresh, gives me a monthly little boost of confidence.

I trim my beard about once a month.

I haven’t had a haircut in about a decade.

My spouse goes every 4 weeks. He has an undercut and doesn't trust my shaky hands with the trimmer :D

The last cut was in 1999 to clean up an undercut. It got longer for about 15 years after that. Now it gets shorter, thinner, and balder, every day.

Twice a year. I always go for a short cut and then grow it out until it annoys me.

I never cared about having a consistent look.

I shave my head in the shower every couple of days. Trim my beard once a week.

When my wife states I'm looking too much like a murderhobo which can be from three months to a year depending.

Whenever my wife complains I look homeless and is willing to spend 20 minutes cutting it for me.

Which is roughly every 2-3 months I think. It'd be less often if I didn't have a wife and had to pay someone to do it, that shit gets expensive.

I have long hair but I touch up my undercut every other week or so, i just do it myself

I think once every 2 months is about average. I wait 5 months.

Every 1 or 2 weeks. I buzz the whole thing with #1 guard on the clippers.

I buzz my head about once a month, otherwise I start to look bald.

I cut my hair myself, whenever I want a change :) (once every few months)

Probably between 1-2 months for me.

I would only cut my hair once a month or later if not for the neck hair. I get a cut once that shit becomes too long.

As a woman I get my hair cut every 8 weeks.

Alright since we are on this topic, I am gonna ask how y'all keep a straight face when a mirror is placed in front of you for about 30-45m straight?

I cannot, for the love of god, stop my smile at all. Especially when I'm slowly transitioning to a new look, I just can't stop smiling when a mirror is placed in front of me. Feels extremely awkward when a guy is working on you and you starts smiling for no reason.

That being said, I'm due for a haircut now. Planning to do it by this weekend. Last I got my haircut was in June(!). So, a good 2½ months.

2-3 weeks? By 5 weeks I look a little scraggly (I’m balding, so it’s not great to let it go too long, unless I’m dressing as a mad scientist for something)

My hair grows fast enough that if I wanted it to stay a specific style it’d need cut probably more than once a month. However, I typically just change the way I part it as it grows. It doesn’t look too bad at any stage, though I basically just slowly transition from looking like a fed to looking like the guys in the fourth Harry Potter movie lol.

It takes about 3-4 months for it to go from 2in on top to being annoyingly long. Probably closer to 5 for it to be like getting in my mouth when the wind blows.

And hey you can have long hair and still look “groomed” btw, just got to figure out how to style it right

Edit: I have straight hair btw with some but not a lot of natural volume. If I had curly hair I could likely let it grow longer without feeling the need to cut it.

Every six weeks. Don't trim the beard though. Business up top... zz top down low

I shave my head 2-3 times a week.

6 to 8 weeks. If I allowed it, my vanity would have it closer to every 4 weeks but that's an expensive indulgence so I just look like a need a haircut a lot of the time.

4-6 weeks

I haven’t had my hair cut since ‘08.

I could probably go get it done, but it looks alright and doesn’t seem to grow further than the small of my back.

I’m a 40-year old woman.

3 to 4 months. From short to thick helmet style and it starts getting annoying to style and it starts generating too much heat inside to survive.

Quarterly

Every three to four months and I cut my own hair now too
