I've had a few bad experiences with not making my appt., waiting too long, getting frustrated, going somewhere else and ending up with a haircut I didn't like at all. </p> <p>So now that I've found a stylist that I like again, I go every six weeks, and I make sure I book my next appt. as I'm checking out/paying for the cut. </p> <p>Also - when my hair was longer, I could go about eight weeks - but I have bangs (fringe), and these need trimming a lot sooner than eight weeks. At the time, I was lucky to have a stylist who offered free bang trims in between my regular appointments. I could just whip in, get the bangs done and out the door. I'd give her a good tip of course, but the bang trim was "gratis". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964918 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:57:06 +0000 MNsara 964918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorter hair = more frequent haircuts if you want it to keep its style.</p> <p>I usually go 7 weeks (at 6 it hasn't begun to annoy me yet, at 8 it has annoyed me for too long)</p> <p>I agree with Krish about the midpoint phenomenom, then comes the bit of extra product or round brush drying, etc. til the appointment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964906 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:46:21 +0000 kkards 964906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>at my current lenght (at the shoulder), every 6 weeks, like clock work. i book at least 2 appts in advance. when i go to chin lenght, then every 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964796 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:39:32 +0000 ruthe 964796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get my hair cut every 3 weeks, but I wear my hair short. To keep my hair looking neat I find it requires frequent trims. Your proposed cut sounds nice. I think it takes time for a new stylist to get really comfortable with your hair. The texture, thick/thin, how fast it grows. I also think one can fall into the trap of getting too comfortable over a long period of time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964787 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:31:29 +0000 lucyt90 964787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I have fairly long hair, I only chop it every 6 months and then let it grow back long again. Hairdressers have become expensive today so I can hardly afford it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964781 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:21:29 +0000 Glory 964781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorter mine is, the more frequently I go because it requires that for any type of shape. I was getting away with much longer in between but will now be back to every 6 weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964733 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 11:47:05 +0000 Deborah 964733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mine cut every 4 to 6 weeks, but I am a neat freak and my hair&nbsp;<b>must</b> sit exactly right otherwise it drives me nuts. &nbsp;I think shorter styles generally require more regular attention. &nbsp;I like the sound of what you are suggesting for your hair. &nbsp;Are you thinking a very short 'french fringe'? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964727 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 11:43:02 +0000 missvee 964727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My short hair needs to be cut every 4 weeks. It's thick and grows like a weed, so it tends to lose its shape fairly quickly. When it was longer I could go 6 weeks between cuts no problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964719 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 11:33:43 +0000 krishnidoux 964719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, that happens with a new, shorter haircut, but you could also stretch it to 6-8 weeks. I find with shorter do's that I get this "bump" about one month into it, where I seem to have a couple too many bad hair days, but then, one week later, it "blooms" into something even nicer. I find that after 4 weeks, even after 3 weeks, I must use more product, or use the products differently. I play around with different kinds (pastes, waxes, shines etc) until I get a new, satisfying style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964714 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 11:22:30 +0000 Suz 964714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks for me, depending on how it grows out and my needs -- but usually somewhere between 5-7 weeks. But of course, mine is super short. It grows quicker in summer so I tend to cut more often.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-time-again#post-964689 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 10:06:28 +0000 Hil 964689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How often do you go to have a haircut? I normally go anytime between every 2 or 3 months, but I am so ready for a haircut again that I have just made an appointment for tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking back at my posts - my last cut was only about a month ago! I tried a new stylist last time, and overall I was quite happy with the style, but it feels like it has grown out of it's style very quickly!&nbsp;I am thinking that&nbsp;may be because my hair is&nbsp;pretty short at the moment, or could it be the quality of the cut? My usual stylist is amazing, but she is inconveniently situated and quite pricey and I felt like we needed some time out from each other. This new one is very well priced and just up the road and because she is new in her premises I don't battle to get an appointment with her. </p> <p>I am thinking of maybe going a touch shorter at the back but keeping the length in the front and shortening the fringe a lot!&nbsp; </p>
