[Misc] Will you Grow your Hair Out or Will You Do it Yourself?

[marlowe]

Now that hairdressers and barbers have shut down and mobile hairdressers visiting you at home is also a no no, how do you plan to deal with your growing locks?

Are you fortunate enough to live with a trained hairdresser or do you yourself possess hairdressing skills? I know some on here are already hair cutting diy-ers and simply run the electric clippers over their already thinning scalp but there are those who might be taking the plunge of diy hairdressing for the very first time.
This could either be for themselves or for their partner.

For those taking the plunge for the first time please feel free to post the results for us to give an honest assessment of your efforts...

Have you volunteered to trim it?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I've been doing my own for years......so to speak!

Do you think I'm that stupid
Anyway I heard you're very good at trimming ladies box hedges........

Really should have seen this coming and got my hair cut, by the time we are allowed out I will look like Mick Miller.

I think the paucity of your tresses has already been well established on here. Does your wife usually go to a professional to attend to her thatch?

I cut my own hair from age 17 to 34 (till a student told me I should get down to the barber immediately, and I don't mean Paul). So I guess I could do it again...and as I'll be stuck in doors, I can experiment with styles! This one's a little pony

Rather fortunately had mine done 10 days ago by those bloody good Turkish chaps down in Kemptown :thumbsup@

 

[Swansman]

I usually let my hair grow uncontrolled for about a year, then I shave it all off and let it grow another year. Lockdown seems VERY far away here but if/when it happens I'll be fine unless it drags out six months or so..

Not necessarily... you do have options..

 

[Deadly Danson]

Done my own since 1995 - just use clippers numbers 6 down to 1. Easy.

Mines growing out. Afro is coming back for the first time in over 15 years, I'm not looking forward to it.

Back to the 80’s we go. For the record I was “I AM MAN”
