I used to get a haircut every three months, but since I got married it’s probably more like every two months. ---

About every 6 weeks or so, I go in and get a “#2 all over.” In between, I do a little touch-up of my sideburns and goatee. ---

Every day. I shave my head and I like to keep it clean and short. I don’t, however, use a razor; I use electric clippers without a guard (I’m not a fan of shaved-to-the-skin bald. At least not on myself). ---

Today, in fact! Usually every couple of months, whenever it becomes a pain in the ass to control. ---

Once every 30 days. ---

I get my head shaved once every 3 months or so, maybe 4 months. I either get a raw blade or a #2 or #4 depending on the season. ---

Maybe once every couple of months. I’ve never been a fan or really short hair. I haven’t cut it since October 2011 though. It’s the longest it’s ever been. I don’t know if I want to keep going or completely shave it. I’ve never shaved my head before. ---

Every 6 weeks. A friend of mine has her own ‘salon’. It’s actually kind of a nice visit and I have a beer while she cuts my hair. ---

Probably about once a month I use the electric clippers with the length attachments. ---

About 4 or 5 times a year. I’m over-due now - but I’m pushing it a little. I kind of like the way it looks long right now, though I’m catching some shit from my boss about it. Eh. Whaddayagonnado? ---

About every 6 months for me. But I don’t mind my hair getting a bit long. ---

With more things being how I like them I’d choose to get a haircut every 8 weeks or so. Since it’s currently a luxury, not a necessity I skip it. I got a haircut last week for the first time since November 2011. My business is next door to a barber shop. I’ve gotten to know by sight many of their regulars. I’m only aware of one guy who is there every single week and I don’t think he gets his hair cut every time. I’m pretty sure that many weeks he just gets a shave and really just goes to argue politics with his barber. ---

I try to go every five weeks. On a side note; am I the only one who was thinking the OP needs to learn how to use punctuation? ---

Every 2-4 weeks, depending upon the timer of year and how smart I need to look. I cut it myself. #2 all over. ---

I have not had a hair cut or a beard trim or anything since about 1996. I do not smoke or drink I do have lots of money for motorcycles… WIN WIN !!! ---

Once every 3-4 weeks. As soon as I feel my hair touching my ears, time to get a cut. 1490yen (US$19.08) for a regular cut and quick head massage. An extra 200yen (US$2.56) for shampoo/rinse and another for 200yen for a very nice close shave.
