About every 6 weeks. I have pretty curly hair and if it gets too long it starts looking pouffy. I actually grew it out for over 3 months recently and it got past the pouffy into rings. Kinda looked good. I got it cut back short again last week though. Too much of a pain in the butt futzing with gel or pomade in the morning. I might grow it out again sometime, but not that soon.

Ten years ago I started letting my hair grow long. Kept it that way until a couple of months ago, it was getting pretty nasty and all. I haven’t been back since, but I know I need to. Before it was once or twice a year.

I could tell you the last few times I had a haircut.

Once in August 2006, once in mid-March or so, then the previous August, and before that, around April 2005.

How do I know that so specifically? Because those are the show dates for my previous plays. I let me hair grow between shows, so when it’s time to get it cut, I can cut it to the style the director wants.

Whenever my wife tells me to; usually every six weeks or so, I think. It costs about $12.
