    I just got my hair cut 4 hours ago. I schedule for 7 weeks and that seems to work out nice.

    Until about 5-6 years ago I'd go without a haircut until my banges were so long I couldn't stand it any longer. Then I'd forget to call for an appointment for another 2-4 weeks. Once I'd remember to call, I'd have to wait another week or two until there was an opening. Scheduling ahead 7 weeks before I walk out of the place works out much nicer.

    I voted wrong, I should have put the last one because I only get a haircut, like, 3 times a year, it would be ok but my hair doesn't grow down it grows sideways.

    Once every 2+ months. Some day I'll just let it grow and grow...

    Once a month by my woman.

    Used to get it done every two or three weeks when I was a security guard in Montreal way back when. Always by this Italian guy with perfect hair. Then I treated myself to an excellent ice cream cone at the place near the barber shop. It was a nice routine.

    When I was finished with that job, I moved to the woods and let the beard and the hair grow until I looked like Rasputin.

    Every 4 - 6 weeks, unless I want to grow a mop and it's uncut and unclean for 2-4 months.

    Up until 3-4 years ago, I used to get my hair cut every 8-10 weeks. I had a lot more hair back then, so I let get all "fro-ey" on me.

    Now, though, I keep my head buzzed as close to bald as possible -- it's wonderfully low-maintenance. My roommate shaves my scalp every 2 weeks or so. If for some reason she's not around to do it, I'll go to the nearest barber shop.

    I head down to the old village barber, Kaz, at least once a month. We have to maintain a military buzz-cut, along with the spit-shined shoes, belt, collar brass, and military creases in the uniform at the Shock Camp I work, and I love a fresh haircut.
    Kaz is getting up there in age, close to 80, but he's sharp as a tack and lots of fun to talk to. He only charges $7, but I always give him a ten-spot and tell him to keep the change. His stories and friendly banter are well worth the money. I tell him the tip is for the entertainment.

    The last time I was there he accidentally nicked my ear with the straight razor. While applying the styptic pencil he remarks to the room, "Yep, looks like I'm going to have to notch the other one to even it up."

    Like this, with the balding?

    What's all this about cutting hair? I either burn mine in the campfire or rip it out if it gets annoying. Just don't ask me how often I bathe.

    So Tamur, I was sitting here drinking my tea and I got to wondering, how often do you bathe?
