No Stupid Questions

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

whenever my family nags me about it too much lol

I shave it off once it starts looking like shit

3 weeks is my sweet spot. the barber is hot

I donate my hair about every 18 months. 😉

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 trim my beard about once a month.

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

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.
