I usually have one once a month, and the longest interval is 5 weeks, and my last one was just over 5 weeks ago!

November. I need a cut, but I have long hair and trimmed it myself. Hubby needs a cut...I will probably do it for him.

For many years I've been self buzzcuting.
It's quick and easy with my professional Oster clipper.
Cheaper clippers could not cut the thick undercoat of our doggies, but the Oster went through it like warm butter.

My last haircut was about a week ago.

The clipper was pricey, around $160, and additional heads are $30, but I've probably saved a trillion dollars cutting my own hair.

Now I buzzcut my SO's hair too.
Again, I love doing this work as I find it relaxing and rewarding to do many things myself others pay others to do for them.
I feel no obligation to support the barber industr.
As an introvert I HATED subjecting myself to that time in the chair, with the strained faux small talk. :knockout:

Another benefit, I can jump into the shower immediately to clean off all those itchy bits of hair that get in your collar.
Also, naked haircuts can lead to some :Up_to_something:.

I honestly can't remember... I've been growing my pixie out for ages now, and just a few weeks ago I realized it's long enough to put in a ponytail. I cut my own bangs anyway, and I don't color, so I'm just sitting here letting it grow down around me, LOL. My hair is completely straight and grows VERY fast. If this SIP goes on too long I'll end up looking like Cousin It!

December 2018. I usually grow it all year and donate it but this past Christmas got hectic. Well now it probably won't be until December 2020 if that.

Almost 2 months ago. February 15 when I got from the USA. Badly need a haircut. Quarantine is for another month so that’s another month of hair growth.

Oh, I suspect a client wearing a relatively large sparkly rock would just come across as bragging to the 'help'.

I cut my hubby's hair last weekend with clippers from Costco! We've been doing this for a while to save money. I get my hair cut 1 to 2 times per year.

My husband has had the same clippers for like 15 years. The dog's clippers stopped working and I had to groom him because he was going to the vet so figured I'll just use the husband's and he can get new ones.

Except now you can't find them anywhere, they are like the new toilet paper....oops!

It's been about 6 weeks but I'm growing the length so I hadn't Intended to get another cut for quite a while.
@Daisys and Diamonds ...when my hair was long and all one length I would cut it myself. Also when it was shorter and layered I could do it because I could hide variances with the styling. . But mid length with long layers is not as easy because my hair shows every little bit of layering that is off and there is no way to hide it. I do not like spending time or money at a salon so try to keep a low maintenance length and style...I feel like I'm 6-8 months away from the length I want and then I will get maybe 2 haircuts a year. I need some layers as otherwise it is just a bit too frumpy anymore.

It's weird. Here the hairdressers are open for hair cuts but not for colouring (or other treatments). My greys are beginning to show!:eek-2:

The beginning of February. I usually have short hair but it’s now almost chin length. The length doesn’t bother me but I need highlights.

The week before Christmas. I go every 11 weeks & was due when we were put into lockdown, so it got cancelled. It's naturally curly, so it can take going a while between cuts as it always just looks a bit unruly. I have been having it taken shorter the last few years, to my jaw, as I've had bouts of hair loss. But that has stabilised over the last 8 months, so I was thinking over the idea or growing it longer again.

I guess the decision has been made for me - it's at my shoulders already! The ends are feeling very dry though, so I am planning to tidy it up as best as I can. Nobody will know if it's uneven, as it's just a nest of snakes :lol:

The beginning of January. There are years I only manage to get my hair cut once and rarely do I get it cut more than once every 6 months in a good year.

January 9th. Last haircut. And my haircut previous to that one was January 2019. So a year between haircuts is not unusual. Of course we were stranded at the Jersey shore for 8 months and that is why I went a year between my 2019 and 2020 haircut. Life gets in the way. A lot. :wink2:

Coming up to 5 weeks, and I get my hair cut and coloured every 5 weeks :shock: It’s not a style I can do myself, so I’m just having to let it grow, although I did touch up my parting, hairline and by my ears last week. I’ve got plenty of dye as I usually touch up my parting at 3 weeks anyway, so at least I won’t be grey when I finally get a hair cut.

My DH gets his hair cut every 6 weeks (it's dirt cheap too) by the local hair guy in our neighborhood and he has been due for a hair cut since March. He is just letting it grow until he can go get one because he said he isn't going to try cutting his own hair and for some reason he doesn't want me to try... :lol: I did offer.:halo:

We are all growing our hair out. I've gone 6 months between trims so not an issue for me. I think my last trim might be last year?

I'm getting weekly emails from my local salon BEGGING...all in caps....for clients not to try and box color their hair at home. I think business will be good when they open up...lots of roots and color corrections to do. :eek2:
When I was growing out my natural color I used spray on temporary color just at the part line when I was out with people...until it was grown out enough to highlight everywhere and start blending it in. It works great. most of us aren't out and about enough to worry about it much but if you feel desperate about your roots you can try the spray.

HI:

Just before lockdown. Dropped in on a lark--good timing for me and he cut quite a lot off. Shape is still OK and I don't do full lites anymore anyway. Meant to be this way!

cheers--Sharon
