This is my haircut: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/365917538450457617/
It's a little shorter and I don't have that pattern on my neck tho. How often should I get it cut to keep it looking nice?

In the military, I got mine cut about once a month (had to keep it off the ears, "whitewalls"...the person in the link has them, but also has sideburns). Once out, I still got "buzz" cuts, but they were about 3 months apart.

There were guys who got 2 cuts per month, and others who could squeak by with every other month.

Of the pompadour I have no experience.

Even though I'm not biologically male, I get my haircut every 3-4 weeks, but it's not as fancy as that. My friends get theirs cut every month or so as well. I would think with a haircut as precise as that, and depending on how fast your hair grows, maybe around a month for you too? My hair grows really fast, so it's different.

Same here. My hair grows faster than average so I get it cut every month. But it varies per person. Just go when you feel like it's getting too sloppy.

Thanks yall. I got mine cut almost a month ago and am now noticing that I need a haircut, but I didn't know if I was just being high maintenence bc most guys in my family don't get haircuts that often (then again they all kinda grow their hair until they look like surfer dudes).

Nice hair style! Way cool!

I think for a special style like that talk to your hairdresser explaining how you like to look and take it from there.

I have to cut mine around once a month to keep it looking decent, but since we have different hairstyles I don't know whether it'd be the same for you or not. Maybe ask a hairdresser for their opinion.

Honestly as much as I can afford. I work in a casual space so hair getting scraggly isn't an issue. Sometimes I let it go into mini ( somtimes not so mini) fro.

Also, going to depend on how fast your hair grows. Mine is like a chia so if I wanted to keep my hair fresh I'd say minimum once a month.

I think a lot of guys try to adhere to their company appearance policy, but for me, for the longest time, it was every time I looked in the mirror and thought "Oh hell, I'm gonna hear about looking girly again"...until I fell into the goth crowd in high school. Having long hair made me feel more attractive, and when my parents saw the confidence boost, they kinda let off. I've only cut my hair recently to try to find work.
To strive to reach the apex of evolution is folly, for to achieve the pinnacle is to birth a god.

When the Stryker fires, all turn to dust in its wake.

Before I transitioned, I had my hair cut every 5-6 weeks to keep it neat and trim..

The moment neckhair appears

Some of my friends don't
Some do it every few months
Friends dating hairdressers do it ever so often

I used to grow it out all year and then shave it to 3mm.

It depends on the hair style and how fast your hair grows.  Assuming you go to the same hair stylist regularly, ask them.  If you don't go to the same hairstylist, start doing that so that they know your head.   ;D  That's a great hair style and I suspect in order to keep those nice lines in the back (the top part), you will have to go every 3 weeks (4 at most).

I get mine cut every 3 weeks to keep it clean cut.  I like the way it looks and work in a professional setting.  My hair grows faster on testosterone I have noticed.  I used to get it cut every 4 weeks, but it was also a bit longer, so I could get away with it.

If you need to setup appointments well in advance for your barber, then about 4 weeks (unnecessary at most places that cater primarily to men). Otherwise, just wait until it is no longer "looking nice" in your opinion and drop by for a haircut.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I'm keeping my hair only slightly shorter than it was pre-transition (longer on top, in fact), but I find I'm having it cut about twice as often: about once a month instead every two months, or even longer. Funny -- I seem to care more about my appearance now that I actually like who I am.

The answer is, "it varies."

I used to get one every 3 months but that was because I was extremely terrible about it. I hated grooming myself as a guy.

I have a colleague who would get a touch up every 2-3 weeks, but he's a pretty boy and spends a lot of money on grooming, lol.

Its kinda hard to tell. I used to cut my every month, but if I wanted my hair to look always good, I needed to cut 2 times per month. Some people's hair grows very quickly, but others dont, so, depends... guess you will have to try by your own to know.

A factor not mentioned is the type of image you need to project. A man in sales may have their hair cut more often in order to maintain the perfect image. An assembly like worker may get it cut when it starts looking shaggy. It really comes down to what image you will tolerate. With the style you are wearing the short hair on the side is going to require trimming often to maintain that look. If you went with something longer, you would find it required cutting less often. As a child, I had a Flat Top and that required regular cutting.

I still get mines cut since I don't like long hair but like everyone says, it all depends. I use to get mines cut every other week

I tend to cut mine 2-3 months apart because I'm cheap. If I cared for making sure my hair always looked awesome I'd cut it once every month. My hair grows pretty quickly.
