    Whenever I think about it. There is no set time. If I notice it needs cut, and I have time, I go get it cut.

    I voted every 3 months, but it depends on my hair length. I need to do it more often (ever 2-3 months) when I have a shorter style, like I do now. When my hair was longer (like around boob length), I easily went around 6 months between cuts.

    I usuallly go around 4-5 months. I always have it cut around the Holidays and then I get it cut before summer and at the end of summer. I hate when my hair gets past by boobs and it can never be shorter than my shoulders.

    Depends on the style. With my shorter hair, it was every 6 weeks - 2 months.  With longer hair I usually go 4-6 months.

    Every 8 weeks, so I guess that works out to every other month.

    Every 4-6 weeks.  Mine is short and once the back starts getting a bit long I go crazy.

    I usually go every 6 weeks but I am growing it out for my wedding, so I haven't been since the end of June. I do still get my roots touched up though...

    Not often enough.

    It is such a PIA to take the time- it takes forever and I dislike small talk.  If I had less hair I think I wouldn't mind so much.  Maybe.

    Until very recently, my hair was down to my waist. Then I got it cut to my tops of my shoulders and now Im growing it back out a bit. Not to my waist, but longer than it is now.

    Im lazy. I easily go 6 months to a year. I only go when I want a change. Even when it's bad, I am lazy...I had my mom give me a blunt trim in the spring bc I didn't want to pay to have it cut! I will be going soon though bc I want a change.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    All of this, exactly. Also, sitting in front of a mirror for extended periods of time is not my idea of fun.

    My hair is pretty short so I try and get it cut around every 6 weeks or else it starts to feel shaggy.

    I get my hair cut about twice a year maybe, maybe just once.  My hair is long and thick and doesn't require much attention so I only get it cut when I notice it really breaking down when I brush it and then I go get a trim and sometimes a few layers put in.

    I could have written both of these replies, lol. The main reason I grew my hair out was because I did not like going to the hair place every 6 weeks to maintain a short 'do. FTN.

    I voted SS. For the last 8 years, I've been growing/cutting my hair for charity. I usually just trim off random split ends that I find and get an "official" haircut every 2-ish years.

    My sister does my hair so I'm always at her mercy. I think I average somewhere between 4-6 months. I don't pay so I cant complain. We'll just go out instead. It's gotten super long so I think I'm letting it go thru the spring and then donating it.
