1. I trim my own when the split ends merit it.
It's all one length so paying to have it done is a bit of a waste.

2. I cut it when it gets too long
somewhere between past my shoulders and mid-way down my back. It's just too unmanageable after that point.

3. About every six weeks, with my own personal clipper.
I cut it because I like it kinda short. :)

4. I'm pretty much totally bald.....

...so I shave the remnant(s) about once a month.

I've considered letting it grow out and go for the "mad professor" type look but it's more hassle then it's worth. And besides, it's not grey enough for that yet!

5. No bonus points for me, my dear MoseyWalker!
I get my hair cut about every 6 weeks or so, by a dear friend of mine who is officially retired......

But still cuts the hair of a few of her faithful customers for a little extra money, and to keep her hand in!

She is the best! I love her........:hug:

6. Since I am bald on top, I have cut my own hair for ten years now.
What little hair I have grows pretty slow. I would say about every 5 weeks or so I get my Wahl trimmer out and stand in front of the mirror.

10. Every two years I go mental and get it cut, then slip into a deep
depression and swear off getting it cut for another two years. I just had it cut 2 weeks ago, so.....

12. Last hair cut was beginning of June. I'll probably
get it cut again before the Jewish High Holy Days. The curls just get OUT OF CONTROL!!!

Generally about every three or four months, depending on how short it was previously cut.

16. I have a fool proof method to know when to get mine cut
Whenever I have three consecutive days running where my hair looks like the boss in the "Dilbert" cartoon, I know it is time to get a haircut.

17. I just got one today, actually.
As of right now, about three times a year: before school starts in the early fall, when I'm home on winter break, and at the beginning of summer break, mid-Mayish.

Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 08:59 PM by izzybeans
for a short snip; that is the point when my "Euro" (the white guy fro) gets a little too 70s.
