I only get my hair cut like 2 to 3 times a year. Basically when it starts getting in my eyes and becoming a nuisance. I rarely trim my facial hair too. Just once it starts becoming annoying to eat messier foods.

for me if it reaches past the top of my ear it becomes super annoying.
When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don't ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.
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.
used to go once a month or so, but then covid lockdowns happened and the barber I liked actually complied with the regulations (which is a good thing), which made it more inconvenient than I though it was worth to get a haircut. At first I figured I'd go back once things started returning to normal, but then that took a while and I never did. So, I haven't gotten an actual haircut in almost six years.
I did start getting the ends cleaned up every six months or so about a year ago though.
I let it all grow in winter for warmth. Once it starts to warm up I start shaving my head twice a week. When the heat of summer arrives I shave my beard off and it gets added to the bi-weekly shaving.
I'm a long hair but I still go once a month or so to get a trim.
I really don't keep track of the interval. I cut it when ever it starts to intrude into my field of vision.
My last haircut was in October 2019 when I decided I wanted to, starting then, go to an every-six-months haircut schedule
I think same as you 3 months or even 4 months
anything more than 4 months is too long. since asians hair grows much faster, reach 3-5inches will start to irritate my skin(have atopic dermatitis)
When I need too much of the shampoo :)
I cut my hair every decade or so, whether it needs it or not.
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 few months, for short cuts, but it would be more if I wanted to keep the shape.
Around 2004 for my last hairdresser haircut, and about twice a year I take a hand span off the end myself. I have my hair long and I eat a lot of protein so it grows quickly.
Beard on the other hand is weekly or thereabouts.
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.
No
Haven't had a haircut since COVID. Now I just keep it long, I'll cut off a few inches every few months.
Companies I work for ignore it because I've become a valuable greybeard, so I get away with stuff like that
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.
like every couple of years, but I'm thinking about moving to yearly
Every month if you want to look sharp. I do every 2 since I care less.
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.
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 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.
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.

Every 6 weeks but my hair grows quite fast.
Every 5-6 weeks for me, once it starts growing over my ears on the sides
Curly hair, so it often looks shorter than it is. I let it grow until it gets heavy enough to be annoying. 6 months to a year, maybe.
Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.
