How often do you get a haircut?

trim, highlights, or dye job..... whatever you do

 

I drag it out as long as I can... usually about 2x a year.   I'm trying to bump it up so I'm going later in the week and it's been 4 months. hah  Though I'm just getting a cut no highlights because I just don't have the patience to be there for hours on end. so I'll end up having to go back in a few weeks before the summer probably.

Re: How often do you get a haircut?

  • before my new 'do i'd go once a year.  now i need a trim asap and it's been about 2 months since i chopped off hair.

     i actually have embraced the fact i don't straighten hair so my cut is pretty much wash and go or 5 minutes with a diffuser.  

     

     

    sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
  • I don't really have a "schedule", but I go 3-4 times a year to get a cut.

    My hairdresser is always trying to get me to embrace the curly but I can never get it to look as good as he does.  I do not have this thing called a diffuser... maybe I need one.

  • I go 3 to 4 times a year.  I've done Pantene Beautiful lengths twice, and I'm trying to get up to 6 donations. That's how I get some variety in my "style." I am really bad at doing my hair; I'd get a huge fine from the girl police.

  • 2-3 times a year.  Luckily I only need a haircut as I don't color my hair at all. 
  • I get it cut 3-4 x per year.  I refuse to pay to get color at a salon.  I do it at home like every 8 wks, with a root touchup at about 4 wks.

  • God it had been forever since my last one, but I got it cut on Saturday. My hair was practically down to my butt! Usually though I get it cut 4 times a year unless I'm growing it out. My hair tends to grow very quickly. I wear it wavy most of the time which is an easy wash, curl serum, and go routine. If I use a diffuser it gets curly vs wavy (I usually only use it in winter months).

    Straightening takes me a long time and involves both blow drying AND flat ironing it, so I usually don't do it. I've actually never colored my hair, but will when I get greys. Luckily my mom got grey pretty late so I hope I've got her genes.

  • I get it cut and highlighted every 3-4 months or so.  I blow dry it straight almost every day and use the straightener on frizzy/rainy days or when I'm going out.  My hair isn't too thick so I'm able to dry it in about 10 minutes so it's not bad.
  • I amaze myself because I am so freaking superficial and YET I still only go once a year. Actually, I'm due to go this month. It's been that long. Dayumm.

  • i drag it as long as i can but when i'm blonde usually every 3 months <3

  • I try to drag it out as long as I can too...maybe every 3 months. I would LOVE to color my hair myself but I'm too afraid. I had a really bad experience in college with that, and now I won't do it again.

    I also try to stretch it out as long as possible but I see more grey.  :(

    I usually go about 4 times a year but will probably have to bump that to 5 or 6 (freakin genes). 

    And I now relish that time of two hours as my "mom break"

  • 4-5x a year

    i'm going next week to see kendra316's recommendation and still need to figure out what i'm doing....

    a few years ago, i was going every 6 weeks for highlights and trims and whatever needed to be done. sh!t - it looked fabulous. but was too expensive to maintain. i chose grad school over the maintenance. and then kids. one day i'd like to take a vacation. i miss the fabulous highlights.

  • When I am blond or highlighten every 2 months.

    Hair cut 3 months.  

    Or I get bored and call friend for "girls night" and we do my hair and go out.  

    Since I am in the going blond phase every month right now.  I got on the 25th for next set of highlights.

  • I go 3-4 times a year.  I usually only get a short trim and highlights or lowlights.  I wait until I can cut 10-12 inches and then donate it.  I am actually due to go this month.

  • Not often enough.  I just do cuts, no processing (yet - pesky sneaky greys!) and get them 2-3 times a year. The bad thing about that is by the time I go to the stylist, I usually end up having them take off more than I really want because I've just had it. 

    I got a cut this week and it is too short.  Blah.  Oh well, hair grows back.

    me too,  pony tail it is.

    I usually go 2x a year for a cut and color - when my color grows out it isnt too different from my natural so it doesn't look terrible.
