Cut
Dear teacher,
Could you tell me the difference among the following?
1. I have my hair cut.
2. I had my hair cut
3. I have had my hair cut.
4. I had had my hair cut.
They are already the present perfect and the past perfect tenses for No 1. & 2. How come there are more perfect tenses in No 3. and 4.?

Mr Wordy is absolutely right![Y] I would just like to point out that I have my hair cut and I have cut my hair don't mean the same thing. You can use the first sentence if you go to the barber's and the barber cuts your hair for you: I have my hair cut once a month.
If you say: I have cut my hair, you have cut it yourself.

Thank you to all of you.
Could I say "get your hair cut"? Is it the same as "had your hair cut"? because I have heard it frequently.
