Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.

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.
to looking like the guys in the fourth Harry Potter movie
I think it's called the "wolf's mane" look. Pretty awesome.
And hey you can have long hair and still look “groomed” btw
I want to go for this look but i need an ungodly amount of shampoo since my hair gets sweaty. Let's see
I cut my hair myself, whenever I want a change :) (once every few months)
Same, except I kinda just cut off a bit here and there as adjustments every now and then. So I never really have a new haircut, it stays somewhat stable.
Probably between 1-2 months for me.
About once a month I have more or less all the hairs on my head cut
I think same as you 3 months or even 4 months
My last haircut was in October 2019 when I decided I wanted to, starting then, go to an every-six-months haircut schedule
like every couple of years, but I'm thinking about moving to yearly
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.
You should probably trim the ends! 17 years is...kind of way too long to go without a trim. You might have split ends.
Every three to four months and I cut my own hair now too
Around 8 times a year.
I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.
If it was just myself I wouldn't notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.
I cut my hair every decade or so, whether it needs it or not.
I try to do every 6 weeks
If I'm going to a wedding or something at the 4+ week mark I'll get it done early
If I don't get it done until 8+ weeks it starts to get into an unmanageably scruffy zone
Every 6-8 weeks. 2 weeks before my next appointment my hair starts to look like shit, only to look great 3 days before.
2 weeks before my next appointment
Is your local barber quite busy?
I always make a new appointment directly after my haircut, else I will get an appointment way too late. They are a bit busy and need a week in advance, but more importantly, I hate calling people.
4-6 months. It's frankly too long, but I just don't want to bother...
I really don't keep track of the interval. I cut it when ever it starts to intrude into my field of vision.
every 3 months if possible, if it gets too long my atopic dermatitis will start to act up because of the long hair irritating the skin, plus long hair keeps allergens around longer.
I cut my own hair every once a year for winter solstice. I shave my partner's undercut every week or two tho.
Once a year, sometimes once in two years. But I'm also not working in a job where my haircut matters.
Every 3 to 4 months I'd say. This is despite the fact that it's free because both my mom and sister are hairdressers.
Every month if you want to look sharp. I do every 2 since I care less.
I think you're technically supposed to every two weeks. I have very short hair and that's how often I cut mine to keep its style. I taught myself to cut my own hair though, for most people this would be very expensive.
why would you be supposed to cut your hair in any specific way? are you in the army or something?
no lol, my hair is really short on the sides, like a couple centimeters. If you have super short hair then you're supposed to cut it every 2 weeks to keep it short. It's longer on top.
I don't get my hair cut that frequently, but to each their own. This was downvoted to zero when I found it, I like to imagine one of the "six months" or "never" guys were responsible.
I am usually on a 6 month rhythm. Cut short and then slowly transition to longer hair and then cutting when it gets annoying. Currently I am letting it grow even longer, just to check how it looks. But I have curly hair, so my rhythm definitely wouldn't work on everybody
I have an electric cutter with a set length and just run it through my hair about once a week at the same time I'm doing my beard.
My scalp gets really itchy if my hair is too long and doing it weekly means it takes no time at all.
When I need too much of the shampoo :)
Every 5-6 weeks for me, once it starts growing over my ears on the sides
Every 6 weeks but my hair grows quite fast.
