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 will be trimming my bangs in the next day or two. The rest of it will just keep growing... 👩

You're lucky. As long as you go only a little at a time, cutting bangs is safe, and having the rest long, that's easy peasy.

Let's face it - hair styles are changing! 😉

Everything is closed, including barber shops, restaurants except for take outs. My local YMCA is closed for I don't know how long. I hope this pandemic is over soon so that things get back to normal.

I’ve been shaving my head since I was a teenager. Nothing has changed for me on the haircut front.

Considering I spend my day in bed,I have what some call bed hair. It's standing straight up in the back. Lovely (my sarcasm)

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 years ago

Hey, bed hair is stylin' now, right?

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Mine does this if I go to bed with it damp. And sometimes for no other reason than just because.

Bed heads unite! ✊

I've been cutting and coloring my own for years

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

How long and what kind of cut? I coloured my hair once upon a time. Henna mostly.

[–] Squiffydoodle (170) 5 years ago

I wear it short and layered, I use a razor. I used to use chemical dyes but they were burning my scalp so now I only use henna and indigo

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Don't you have a tough time razoring the back? I think the back is hard with clippers, a razor seems like it'd be even harder.

[–] Squiffydoodle (170) 5 years ago

Not really, I just grab some hair and cut it, check it in the mirror and continue

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Well I guess since you're basically layering it, it doesn't matter like a blunt cut does.

True

I'm just letting everything grow. Hair and beard both.
