Longest you ever went without a haircut?

[underpants]

Come on you longhairs out there. Let your freak flag fly.
:patriot:

[Book Lover]

1. Since 1988 and still counting!

Wait, I do trim the ends off when I braid my hair. Does that count?

[underpants]

3. Mmmm that's a cut

so I am sorry but we DO have some wonderful parting gifts

[no name no slogan]

2. I went nearly five years once (I'm a guy)

from the fall of 1999 to February 2004. It was halfway down my back. I cut almost all of it off and donated the ponytail to Locks of Love.

[AlCzervik]

4. 2 years, i was growing out my hair color so i could get a really good look at

my actual color, so after 2 years i got it cut and went natural, that lasted for about 2 months. Now i'm back to the triple processing 4 hour salon appointments.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Gawd, I hear ya. Don't those appointments suck?

I HATE them. The wasted hours in that damned chair, not to mention the ridiculous price.

[AlCzervik]

17. oh yes and my next "Touch up" is next week, you the worst thing besides the

ass numbingly long appt. is the fact that we have a pool that i avoid so it doesn't suck the color out my hair. I am the pool cleaner, not the pool user.

[Drum]

5. 2.5 years

a few years ago. Then was shorn, and now am growing it back again...month 5 and counting...

[LSK]

6. 4 months probably

[Richard Steele]

7. Coming up on 13 years next month.

[underpants]

8. Ya langhair!

I got mine cut just a few hours ago. Regular thing for me otherwise I would have a hideous whiteguy 'fro (think Napoleon Dynamite but with straight hair)

[Richard Steele]

9. Not so long as it might have been, though

I never have the split ends trimmed, so it kinda
got to shoulder-blade length in about 2 years, then
just stayed there.

It's so thin these days, my only real haircut option
would be to shave it completely. Any sort of "normal"
haircut would make me look like I have mange.
You know, those guys who's hair looks OK from 15 feet
way, but then up close you can see their whole head
through it? *shudder*

[Joe Fields]

37. "mange" I love it, and I can relate.

I had to cut mine and keep it short several years ago. I was losing it too quickly.

[eyepaddle]

10. A year and a half.

Then I had the ends trimmed. It was close to three years between serious haircuts.

'twas long ago, tho'.

[Joe Fields]

11. I went four years, once, back in the '70's. My son did not get his

cut for seven years. (from 5th grade to senior in h.s.)

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. In the late 80s, I let my hair grow very long.

:hi: I think it was a year between haircuts at that point. I eventually HAD to get it cut because the split ends were horrible.

[BarenakedLady]

13. A couple years?

It was getting rather long.

[AllegroRondo]

14. maybe 8-9 weeks, tops

a couple years in the Army will do that to you.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. maybe 8-9 years, tops

a couple years in the Army will do that also.

:hi:

Anyway, it's short now. Not short enough for any Sergeant, but short.

[Rob H.]

16. 16 months

No reason--just because. :)

[stuntcat]

19. 3+ years :blush:

I was seeing how long I could grow it, which wasn't as pretty at 36 as it was at 16 :( So I got it cut but it's still long, now I'm gonna cut it 2 or 3 times a year.
I want to get my bangs cut like Feist's to hang over my eyes but I have to wait until after her concert because I'm scared to show up with my hair done just like in her videos, that would look SO DUMB

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

20. Over three years

Long hair complimented by big, bushy chops. I remember the day I shaved off the chops, it was my Dad's wedding day. My step-mom gave me an ultimatum, shave the side-burns or I'm out of the wedding photos. I relented and they haven't appeared since. The shag went away a few years later when I started workin' for the man. God, I miss my long hair. Head bangin' just isn't the same without it. *sigh

[Beausoleil]

21. about 12 years

and counting. I cut the ends from time to time, but apparently that's cheating. It is falling out nicely all by itself, though.

[tjwmason]

22. 18 months.

I'm tempted to grow it long again from time-to-time as well.

[NMDemDist2]

23. years and years, decades even

and then I often just wack off my bangs myself

[In_The_Wind]

24. about 10 years

[Guava Jelly]

25. Over a year i suppose

I had a ponytail and my hair was all one length.
Until I sold out and went short hair

[Inchworm]

26. Define wash

I once hitchhiked for a 3-4 month stretch and some of the washings were, umm, superficial.

:patriot:

[Inchworm]

27. Haircut.. hairwash.. same thing?

Wrong thread. My reading comprehension suffers a lapse.

:yoiks:

[BarenakedLady]

33. Doh!

[Inchworm]

35. oh dear - you again :)

Picking on the newbie! Careful, I may have to upgrade my crush on you to infatuation or better :loveya:

so, umm.. how long since you had a hairwash..err..cut? :D

:blush:

[BarenakedLady]

36. Who me?

[Inchworm]

38. Please tell me

that is not a beard :)

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

40. Yes, it's a combover actually

I'm rather hairy on my face and very sensitive about it.



;)

[Nikia]

28. It has been over a year at this point

I'd like to get it trimmed soon, but not much more at this point. I'm 29 and this is my time to really try to have long beautiful hair. When I was a child, my mother kept making me have it chopped when it got below shoulder length and since then, I have taken the advice of people who knew nothing about my hair and had it cut more than I would have liked.

[some guy]

29. about 18 months n/t

[u4ic]

31. Hippie!

:P

[some guy]

34. yep.

:D

:hi: sweetie

I'm growing it again. It's been September since I got it cut, and it's starting to get long. It gets kind of messy, because it's wavy/curly, which also makes it seem not as long as it is.

[u4ic]

39. I may need to hand over my triangle to you

because ALL great musicians have wild hair. :D :thumbsup:



:hug: :hi:

[some guy]

42. or not

While it may be true that ALL great musicians have wild hair, that doesn't necessarily mean all people with wild hair are great musicians. :P

:hug:

a classic triangle for you, a 'Stradivarius'...

[MrSlayer]

30. I can't remember the last time I got an actual haircut at a barber shop.

Might have been 1987. I've kept my hair halfway down my back for nearly 20 years now.

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. I haven't even had a trim since last July.

I'm really over due, but oh well. My hair doesn't look bad. :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

41. Over 2 years

I was trying to piss off my school faculty.

[Rhythm]

43. a few months at the most...

i start looking like a shaggy dog by that point, and although i may leave the back alone (per Oktoberain's wishes usually), i have to keep the front out of my eyes.

I'm weird about my hair, and can't stand to use clips, bobby pins, barrettes, etc... in it, though i do use those elastic pony-tail ties all the time.

[Broken_Hero]

44. hmm, 14 months,

and then the Sacramento summer came a rolling in...and I cut that hair lickety split.

[mopinko]

45. my son-

hasn't cut his hair in about 6 years. it is about 4' long. i keep trying to get him to sell it. it would be one form of work that agrees with him.
