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.

My ex was cheap frugal (we had three kids, two of whom were boys, plus me). $15/haircut x 3 is a lot of money on a single income...so we bought a home clipper set. She specialized in the easiest to cut style: The Buzz.

She once tried to give one of our sons a Mohawk...turns out that is actually a pretty hard cut to do...the edges were straight (she'd focused on that aspect), but the entire row went from center-forehead to left side neck...wide in front but narrow in back. Son got a buzz instead LOL!
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

I've had long hair since I was 13 so... I cut it myself over a trashcan when I notice split ends. My brother gets his cut when he decides he's tired of the white guy fro or the fire department makes him. My other guy friends all have buzz cuts like my brothers so they all do each others hair just whenever they feel like it. I think its about once a month or so.

Personally I like my hair cut every two weeks. My partner, who is in school to become a barber, told me that two weeks is the closest time one should get a haircut. Like everyone else has said, it's all about personal preference.

I don't think I have a specific time period, I just get mine cut when it starts getting too long, although that's probably every 3 or 4 weeks. It depends on the guy and how fast your hair grows. One of my friends gets his hair cut every week, he's a cis male.

As a kid I went with my dad to the barbershop pretty much every Saturday. It was the only way to maintain that shaved sides look my dad's generation considered as the only proper way to for man to look. Haircut frequency really depends upon the style and your rate of growth, but for an extremely short-sided style like the one in your picture I'd imagine two weeks is about the most you could go.

As an adult, even during my occasional short haired periods, I always chose styles that could easily go a month or more without a cut. Unless you've got lots of money and enjoy sitting around the hair shop why go with a high maintenance look?

If thats your ideal "i just want to upkeep" hairstyle then you should cut it every two to three weeks depending on how fast your hair grows. The reason being that the lower shaved half will immediately show when it grows and it'll change the look.

As far how often i get my cuts it depends on what style i'm in the mood for. If I'm keeping it shorter then once a month or so I cut it. If i feel like growing it out more grungy and long I'll go two to three months in between haircuts.

It varies really depending on the person and length. I usually go to barbers once a month cause I generally like to maintain my sides short.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

I'm growing out the hair on top at the moment, so fading down the sides every 2 weeks. The top gets a very slight trim once a month.

I should be getting mine cut every 2 weeks because my hair grows at the speed of light but I wait until a month goes by usually cause I'm lazy :'^).
I've found you, Beast!

Some guys go to get their hair cut as many times as they go to the doctor each year. Others buzz-cut their hair to accomplish the same thing, not paying someone money.
Guys that care about how their hair looks will have it cut before big events, every 1 to 3 months in general. As well as each time they decide to change its styling/color.
Note: the more you care about how your hair looks the more guys may call you a girl or a ->-bleeped-<- (at least that was my experience). If you don't mind the typical jerks and embrace the label of metro, blithely disregard them and have awesome hair that will draw lots of positive attention from women.

Shorter neater styles every 1-3 months.

Personally I hate going to a hairdresser, the places make me nervous as hell. So I have longer hair and learned how to cut it myself.

Once a month for me, especially when it gets too fluffy!

Usually once a month, maybe twice if I go into Chia pet mode.

I hit the barber every 3 to 4 weeks. My hair is super thick, wavy, and grows fast. If I wait any longer in between cuts it starts irritating the hell out of me.

I think it depends on the person and their personal preference. Personally, I cut my own hair so every few weeks. I have friends who get their hair cut every couple of months and actually have one friend who gets his cut every 2 weeks, so it's completely your choice.

I personally get mine cut every 2-3 weeks or so, but never longer than that.

I have a low fade hair cut and it grows very quickly. It's one of them things that it looks bad if you leave it too long. Some hairstyles you can just cut once a month or maybe even more and it still looks good.

Depends how short your hair is. The shorter it is the more often you need it cut to look neat. I'd argue that every two weeks you'd always look really fresh. Once a month you're probably good.

It really depends on everyone to be honest, my hair grows weirdly it may be a month and a half and the shortest of 4 weeks.
