How is every one dealing with their hair my man friend looks scary like a cave man it sure will be good to get the hair salons back . I told him I would cut it he says no I might mess it up really have you looked in the mirror lately .

Some of us guys are enjoying this excuse and opportunity to backslide into our true Neanderthal selves.  
 
And talking about the lack of hair care - I've heard that by the end of this Covid thing three quarters of the worlds blondes will no longer be blonde ….

Uggg. It's hard with this hairstyle but what can you do?  
 
I faithfully get a cut every 6 weeks. It's getting time to do it and I am going to fight cutting it myself for as long as I can. I would not worry but the ends are splitting so it tangles . I might just have a bottle of wine and go for it. Lol  
 
But if i were a guy i would just buy clippers/shears (or whatever you call them) and buzz cut it for now. That is super easy for anyone to do.

My SO was finding his too hot so he borrowed some clippers and got me to do it...and was shocked when I didn’t mess it up LOL. It was a buzz cut tho and really, anyone can do it if I can! I hate hair and it falling on me was the worst! He looks fine haha  
 
I haven’t got to the point yet of cutting my own...and prob won’t lol. My nails on the other hand...yikes!

I started with a ridiculous mullet and a biker goatee. Life is going smoothly here lol.

I ordered some clippers online..should be interesting and hilarious

If u buy clippers, they usually come with different size feet, mine did. I use the longer foot, so leaves my hair about an inch and a half long. My son doesn't use his feet that fit the clippers so he has a bald-ish look. Looks gr8. Love my haircut.  
We both cut our hair outside, less mess inside, brought a larger mirror out side.  
 
Oh Planewatcher the other quarter of peeps will have grey/white hair.  
 
In response to ur note, didn't answer, cuz topic needs to be a new topic. It's not about birds. Will answer when u start a new topic about our trades and kindness  
 
 
Oh and remember those cutting their own hair, careful not to cut it too short, if u cut ur hair wet it will be much shorter when it drys. Wet hair stretches, big time on some peeps

Got some clippers from Canadian Tire and watch how to videos. Best hair cut for a long time. Will be doing it always. No need to pay $22 for a hair cut again.

Sammy, I'm worried about waxing my own eyebrows! I bought the stuff to do it.  
 
Luckily I'm not really going anywhere because I may end up with 1 eyebrow!!

I'm laughin'. I'm pretty low-maintenance - no coloured hair, no fake nails, just a long straight cut. All I'm doing is letting it grow longer. Sure I may end up with some split ends, but my "au naturel" look is perfect for the garden where the slugs and moths won't judge me!

I have curls....they are getting heavy...lol

Oooo you’re brave!! Let’s see pics!!!! Lol

No need for pics. If I recall we both live in the same area.  
 
I like to go for walks alone. You will spot me. I will be the girl with one eye brow and a crooked Bob cut.

40 plus years ago we wouldn't be having this discussion - Wife would simply go to the cupboard, pull out an appropriate size bowl, put it over hubby head and with a pair of scissors cut around it. After hubby - all the kids would be propped up on the kitchen table and have their hair cut. Don't be so picky and dramatic - most wives know where the bowls are kept and how to use a pair of scissors. Lets go back to the old fashion bowl cut trend.

Curls hide a lot of mistakes. Don't be afraid to try cutting it. Once you do it, you'll wonder why you were so scared in the first place. There are plenty of good, easy to follow tutorials online. Just try something simple at first.  
 
If you do think you made a mistake, relax & have some humor about it. Call it your Covid Cut. You are in style because you won't be the only one! Hair does grow back fairly quickly, just have fun with experimenting. You might really like it!  
 
I cut my family's hair, girls & boys...and mine. I have done so for many years. I have no formal training. It is really easy & nobody here ever looks strange. You would never know we don't go to a hairdresser.  
 
One of my girls recently cut the boys hair. She did well! A little tweaking & it was good to go.  
 
Girls in our family generally just get a simple trim. Short buzzes happen for the boys sometimes because they want it. Btw, it's super easy to check for woodticks when someone is almost bald.

you get the good clippers they come with mirror covers for your house! Solves any unforeseen problems.

Happy hour....I’ll be on the lookout for one eyebrow!! LOL. I’ll be the one sitting on the deck with a book in my lap with intentions to read it but my phone probably in my hand lmao  
 
Ram...hahaha, next hair cut I do for him, I’ll get the bowl and scissors out!

Wifey has been cutting my hair since we got married. I won't lie, it was not always a pretty outcome ! Haha! But after the amount of years we've been married, she is awesome at it now! Does the kids and I whenever a clean-up is needed! Wish I could return her the favour! But I don't think she'd let me HAHA

I have super thick hair that needs to be thinned out constantly so, a few years back I invested in a pair of thinning sheers. Glad I did, my mom took out a basketball sized glob of hair out and it feels so much better (I only have shoulder length hair).  
 
This weekend I get to help her with hair <3  
 
She has a lot less than me and a lot less thick but still needs some attention.  
 
I am so glad I made that purchase, salon grade

What do you think about having a professional hairdresser wearing PPE and local (for years) providing services in your home?

I would not want the hairdresser coming into my home. I don’t have a good spot for it and I have little kids and a dog.
