I’m a guy and I have one every 2 or 3 months. But at work I think some guys have one more than once a month because they look groomed all the time.
PS: I trim my beard once a week. I’m talking about haircuts specifically.

I only get my hair cut like 2 to 3 times a year. Basically when it starts getting in my eyes and becoming a nuisance. I rarely trim my facial hair too. Just once it starts becoming annoying to eat messier foods.
for me if it reaches past the top of my ear it becomes super annoying.
Every few months, for short cuts, but it would be more if I wanted to keep the shape.
Lemmy is not a good source for the average man’s grooming habits
5 weeks is my sweet spot, i wear it short-ish and ‘messy’ (using wax/pomade) and at about 5 weeks it gets a little bit long to spruik up and starts floppi g over and getting long at the back.
anything more than 4 months is too long. since asians hair grows much faster, reach 3-5inches will start to irritate my skin(have atopic dermatitis)
Curly hair, so it often looks shorter than it is. I let it grow until it gets heavy enough to be annoying. 6 months to a year, maybe.
Haven’t had a haircut since COVID. Now I just keep it long, I’ll cut off a few inches every few months.
Companies I work for ignore it because I’ve become a valuable greybeard, so I get away with stuff like that
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)
3-6 months, just self cut for the first time. Longer hair, don’t know what to call the style. Like a bob with the back 80% heavily layered and the front hair being the longest (a bit past my chin).
For both men and women, the type of hair style matters. Long flowing can go 6 months between cuts. The shorter the cut and the more detail the more often it needs to be cut. 6 weeks is often the case for short cuts. If shaved parts, every week might be necessary. In warm weather more often than in cold weather.
I’m a long hair but I still go once a month or so to get a trim.
Not often enough. It looks pretty ratty by the time I force myself to go. Maybe 4-6 months?
I’ve always been annoyed by haircuts so it’s difficult to motivate myself to go. However by the time I settle on a new location to regularly use, they close down. Then it’s that much more annoying o find a new place I don’t hate
I do trim my beard weekly though. Since I have the tools and know how to use them. Currently I have a full beard but cut very short, and shave my neck - shaving a straight line is tough to do
Annoyed by haircuts? Interesting. And the places you like often close? I’m very curious about this because I just go to super cuts or whatever but corporate chain and it’s always super relaxing to me. I get to tell them to do the same thing they always have done (since it’s saved in my profile based on phone number), then just sit, relax and close my eyes for like 15 minutes while someone cuts my hair for me and then leave looking better than when I arrived.
Certainly some of it is on me: I don’t like to plan ahead enough for an appointment but also don’t want to wait. I prefer a place that does walk-ins and I learn when they’re unlikely to have a line.
Supercuts is a great example. My town had two of them so I went to each several times before learning that one was consistently better, so I started going there regularly. Then they closed. So now I’m going to the other but they’re a mess: employees consistently do noticeably worse job and are not attentive to incoming customers. I don’t think I set a high bar but they’re not achieving it. And specifically they insist on giving me a combover even when I say no: I know my hair is thinning but it’s past the point where a combover is anything but sad. I also don’t comb my hair to the side so a combover just looks uneven and sad. Why can’t they just accept when I say no?
My town has been going through a generational and demographic shift so all the old places are being replaced with shiny new ones. While I’m sure those new ones will do a basic haircut, they put so much effort into being shiny and modern with modern hairstyles for young adults or hairstyles traditionally associated with various demographics. Great but why can’t we keep it simple? Why can’t I walk in, ask for a haircut, give my preferences And just get it done?
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.
I shave my head 2-3 times a week.
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.
