What are you doing about a haircut?


Do you live with someone who can give you a trim? Toughing it out and letting it do whatever? DIY?

About a week before all heck broke loose in California, I got a haircut in case ... well in case all hell broke loose and I wouldn't be able to get one for a while and because I seriously needed one. Glad I did that, but now it's getting to the point where I need another. I have short hair, so it shows more than if it were long.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours on Amazon looking for a decent pair of clippers with the right guards (at least 1", and shorter) until I gave up in frustration. I'm up for attempting a DIY cut, but all the clippers I saw were either out of stock, or didn't have a 1" guard (only much shorter), or was an obviously cheapo off or no-brand.

I'm thinking a haircutter or barber who could rig up a room where they're on the other side of a plastic wall of some sort and could use scissors, clippers, and whatnot through the other side, and sterilise the client side between cuttings would make a killing about now.


Granted, how our hair looks is one of the least of our worries, but still.

I shave my head (I would be bald on top anyway).

I've always wondered what I'd look like with rock star hair so I'm letting it grow

reply

I’m just letting it grow - I’m going for a full beard too.

Live like cavemen; look like cavemen.

do you guys think barber shops will open soon

reply

Who knows? My guess is not soon enough.

I hardly ever cut my hair.

curly locks

Yep. Just the dead ends. And never when wet.

reply

Are you one of those curly-haired blondes ? If so....

reply

Well, that depends, sweetie!😘

And if you have green eyes, that cinches the deal! You won't even have to concern yourself with that whip and I've been the most obstinate one here when it comes to your basement.

I guess they could be considered turquoise with a little imagination.πŸ€”

Sorry, I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me!😬

reply

Turquoise is my gemstone. I'm a Sagittarius, a very imaginative one and currently butter in your hands.

πŸ˜† I still have an opening for you tomorrow night, sweetie!πŸ˜‰

I'm starting to look like "who done it and ran." 😨 😲

If I didn't have arthritis in my shoulders, I'd try a buzz cut with my beard trimmer. I just don't have the mobility anymore. 😟

reply

Amazon delivers Medium Ash Blonde, so I'm good.

reply

But what about cutting it. Can you do your own?

reply

No its really long.. Bugging me.. But girls have it easier, its just past my shoulders now.

reply

You can go longer between cuts or trims when your hair's that long. When it's as short as mine is, no can do.

There are some very good Corona Hair Chic DIY cut videos on YouTube. You could probably find one that'd work for you. I found a few I've saved and will rewatch as soon as I can locate clippers and guards to buy.

My ex came over and said to me i have to use your clippers to shave my head.. He did..i said man you look so much better, like the rock or vin deisel..His comment..Its nice you compare me to Vin Deisel.

reply

It's refreshing to hear about the relationship you have with your ex.

reply

Well you don't stay married for 24 years if you don't love someone, and like them as friend/person as well. At least I hope you don't.
