Coronavirus Haircuts

[Johnny Doe]

I note that while Spain, somewhat bizarrely, recognized hairdressers as needing to stay open, our Government has failed to meet our needs in this regard.

I have spied the side-eye from the current Mrs Smiles, as she wonders if I can hunt, build a shelter and fight off intruders, wishing I was Bear Grylls or perhaps Ant Middleton (or perhaps not the latter, given recent headlines). Meanwhile, I'm mainly concerned what state the clippers I have upstairs are in, and wish she was Audrey from Corrie.

Who'll be cutting your hair? Or will you be taking to wearing a hat, per chance? Enquiring (hairy) minds need to know!

shaving my bonce to the wood as per usual tbf. I'd offer to do it for other people, but theres a bug going around

Rather smugly I thought this was coming and went a got a number 2 all over couple of weeks ago. Intend to cultivate the wild and unkempt look for a bit as it grows out. After getting bored with that I might just hack at it with kitchen scissors and smear blood over my face for the duration.

Nate got a haircut before this all got serious and he was still working. He needs to look neat for work. His work stopped right after and he no longer needs the haircut that he bought. Can he take it back and get a refund?

my aunt’s, milkman’s sister’s boyfriend says that in some places people have been getting 10 or 20 haircuts at the same time which is why hairdressers are running out.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Was there a WW2 govt haircut like they had a government-approved loaf or whatever it was called?

Y'know, like Kim's

We need to revisit this topic in July if we're all still under lockdown. Have a "best lockdown hair" competition.

Back to the clippers here after a while doing a Jack Nicholson impression

 

[campanula]

I do the family haircuts anyway, apart from for the (vain) youngest. Mine, otoh, is a raggle-taggle mess, so at some point, I will drag it into a ponytail and hack the whole thing off. Lots of hait-wrapping instructions all over the internet, for those of us who fancy the 'rosie the rivetter', soviet realism, factory girl look.

 

[souljacker]

I was pondering growing my hair recently but didn't fancy going through the 'bushy' phase that my hair gets to after a couple of months. But I'm not going out for a while so fuck it. Long hair here I come!

 

[bimble]

Been chopping at it myself for years due to a sort of hairdresser phobia so this isn’t an issue I just always look this way.
Going to be a big deal for some people though isn’t it not being able to have people do things to their hair, and face, and nails presumably.

 

[moomoo]

I’ve just had a text from my hairdresser saying ‘OMG it’s been 11 weeks since we last saw you’ and to make an appointment and get 10% off.

Errrr... No.

Errrr... No.

If it's been 11 weeks you'll need to get more than 10% off, surely? BOOM-TISH!

Maybe ponytails on blokes will make an enforced comeback?

Curtains!

 

[brogdale]

My Lidl hand-held clipper thingy that I use to 'do' what remains on my scalp, decided to break yesterday (mid-cut)....arrrgh..

Such timing!

Anyway...went straight onto Argos & they're apparently going to sell me (from the Sainsburys bit) a replacement on Friday. Hmmm wonder if it really will turn up? Will update thread with news on Friday...otherwise...it could all get a bit Paleolithic-stylee by the 'other side'.

 

[danny la rouge]

This is how we’ll look.

I was ahead of curve, fucked my hair up on weekend, been avoiding video calls all week

 

[blairsh]

Not had one for nearly 7years, so not too worried.

 

[Aladdin]

I cut my own hair . Have done so for years. I also colour it myself.
Grey stripe is now showing and I have no hair dye. I'm seriously thinking of letting the grey grow out for the next whatever number of months this goes on for. And then I will cut the coloured parts off.

 

[hash tag]

A great excuse to continue growing my hair, which was often in a pony when Mrs t was not around. Its getting long enough for me to try plats now

 

[May Kasahara]

I had for once booked my next cut well in advance...for this weekend Will either emerge from quarantine looking like Cousin It, or with a grade 1 Tank Girl job courtesy of bald husband's clippers.

Dooooo it!

.... or perhaps Ant Middleton (or perhaps not the latter, given recent headlines).

So reading this, I though it was Ant (of Ant and Dec) and searched for the headlines to see what shameless shit he was up to.

I'm looking at it and thinking - I always thought that one was Dec and when did he grow a beard?

As I read further it turns out to be someone I've never heard of

As for haircuts. For sure I need one and I have a hair trimmer looking at me from over the other side of the room. Maybe if I get really bored

 

[stavros]

I have a horrible feeling my extremely thick hair is going to get worse and worse over the next few months.

 

[Hollis]

I have this strange idea that now that the barber shops are closed my hair is going to decide to grow back after 25 years.

 

[19sixtysix]

Long gray pony tails are the new black

Stavros, if you had a choice between thick hair or balding like me, which would you chose?

I had a no 2 all over last week while the barbour was still open. Don't know what I am going to do in the coming weeks though, probably just look unkempt !!!

 

[Proper Tidy]

I have thick hair with a growing bald spot and a hairline that starts at about 11 o clock, it's the worst of all worlds

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

I naively entered January more high-maintenance than at any time in my life, with balayaged and double-processed hair and nail extensions. I ripped the nail extensions off when the virus got serious, so I could more effectively wash my hands. I now have sad, peeling nails and long, dry and breaking shaggy hair with dreadful roots.
