How often do you get your haircut ?


I used to get a number 1 or 0.5 clipper cut every 4 to 5 weeks then I moved to a self-administered head shave during lock down.

But about 5 months ago I started getting little red bumps on my scalp, visited a pharmacist who recommended a medicated shampoo that made it worse and required a doctors appointment to, initially, rid myself of the infection via antibiotics… then 3 months of another sort of antibiotic to deal with the actual condition which is folliculitis (“ common skin condition that happens when hair follicles become inflamed”) plus creams and lotions to speed up the infection busting process.

I’m ready for another haircut now, I think, because it’s recommended not to touch your bonce while treatment progresses. I’m finished the antibiotics next week and although there appears to be scarring, it’s looking ok, from what I can see. So I’m booking an appointment and hoping that the process doesn’t render me with a scalp looking like a relief map of the surface of Mars again.
 
Every 6 weeks or so.

I will often go a week or 2 earlier/later depending on if I have a reason to look a bit tidier (Night out or important meeting etc.)
 
Probably once a month for me, beard trim ,shape up , and skin fade, can't afford to do it more regularly than that , disgusting prices these days.

Yourselves ?

Surely you're too old for a skin fade fatty?
Once a month for me, but two months since my last one.

In: Long hair
 
Normally every two weeks, but our lass is a hairdresser so in the summer it seems to grow a lot faster, so I get her to do the sides once a week.
 
Normally once a month, but can someone’s be 6 or 7 weeks if I’m only free on Fridays cos i refuse to wait in those queues whilst orange blokes get the works done.
I might have to switch my regular barber for this reason. There's a gaggle of young lads always seem to be in who are ridiculously OTT seeking perfection. Hate barber queues (unless am hungry)
 
Every four/five weeks. Our lass has been cutting it since the arrival of Covid and my purchase of clippers. Gets cut in the kitchen in the Winter and on the patio in the Summer.
