I’m going on 3 months now, I’m normally every 3 weeks.
I was lucky. I booked my regular hair cut the second week of March. A bit shaggy now, but still presentable for Zooming at work.
My goofy hair is still doing it’s own thing. I would kill for some hair bleach. My crazy grey is oddly darker than my very light blond. I want white hair. Two of my sisters have nice silvery grey. Of course mine’s gonna be gross. Story of my life.
Leaffan, your hair was nice. I’m worried as to what you have done to yourself.
~VOW, be careful with those clippers. I can just see you with a mohawk.
I found a Platex Hair Cutter in the basement. Weird looking thing in perfect shape, all stainless, here’s a representation:
Nobody NEEDS a haircut. These are just arbitrary societal preferences. We are living in a new world now. It’s time to forget our prior cultural assumptions, especially ultimately meaningless ones like what a person’s hair should look like.
Well, until society completely breaks down I’m still gonna wash and brush my hair. I can live w/o cutting it. I did so for 20years, until my girls talked me into cutting a hunk off, last year.
I’m not ready for caveman hair, yet. :eek:
When I was a precious little girl with beautiful long blonde hair, I combed the back of my luscious glory with one of those recessed-razor combs. My mother called her parents in hysterics. At first, all she could choke out was my name. Grandma and Papa thought I’d been killed.
My buddy Chris ordinarily gets his hair cut every three weeks. He has a phone reminder and is OCD about it, making his next appointment when he gets a haircut.
So, he convinced his gf to watch some YouTube videos and give his hair a try. He got drunk, they went out on their porch, and she did her best. think maybe she did it with her eyes closed.
Looking in the mirror, drunk, he was so impressed. He took a selfie and posted it on Facebook. He looks like a picture for a barbershop ad, “we can even fix a total screw-up like this!”
Just wait. The “Quarantine Hack” will be all the rage once this is over.
It’s not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead…
I’ve got very curly hair, and I usually get it cut every 5 weeks. My last cut was 10+ weeks ago, so now I’ve got a very full Jew-fro. I probably had this much hair at times during HS, college, and/or grad school, but not anytime in the past 30 years.
For awhile I was eager to get a haircut as soon as I could, but now I’m in a mood to keep letting it grow, to see how long it can get before becoming totally unmanageable.
Sounds righteous!
Here’s the result.

Damn, that’s really good.
I made a flowbee and cut it abut 3/4 long all the way around. It’s better than it was and it will give the next person cutting my hair something to laugh at.
How does one make a Flowbee™?
That’s funny. I won’t use it since I’d probably cut off my own earlobe and contract a disease that’s been considered globally eradicated since 1970.
I also found a set of electric clippers in the basement,probably from the late 80s-early 90s. (My house came with a lot of stuff when I bought it.) The set seems to have at least a majority of the guards. I’m not desperate enough yet but just might do it. I don’t recall when my last cut was but I was overdue when I went on vacation the second week of March.
My brother couldn’t staaaaand his locks not being just right, and paid his stylist to come over and cut his hair. Great, give her (and the people she interacts with) some germs and get some in exchange, just because you’re uncomfortable (or maybe just vain).
I haven’t been shorn since February, and it’s driving me bonkers, but I’m embracing my Homeless Werewolf Look, to celebrate “sacrificing for the common good”.
I made a simpler version of this. using a tin can. Took me about 60 seconds to make it.
I kind of like this all ( just this aspect of it, other than aloofness being officially sanctioned )
I can make efforts to trim the front/front sides but then I don’t want to end up with a mullet. Maybe I should just allow nature to take its course and now wonder if I can get to the point of having ‘Big Lebowski’ hair before barber shops reopen.
