I get a haircut/Shape up every 1 - 2 weeks. I did for awhile, grow my hair out for 5 months since my hair is curly, but my barber didn't know how to do the hair cut I wanted with a taper in the front, and I had a important event to goto, which limited my time, so I ended up going back to a wave length hair cut ( basically only a few cms). I refuse to grow it back out cause its too much to manage in the growing stage.
