I usually keep mine medium-ish, and I was getting near the point where I'd probably have gotten a haircut soon when everything shut down, so now it's in that awkward in between stage. My texture is naturally thick and wavy, so mousse isn't doing the job of holding it all in place, but the front and sides aren't long enough to sweep it all back into a ponytail, so I'm just kind of messy right now.
The cloth mask isn't to prevent inhalation of aerosolized viruses (questionable if that's a significant path of transmission), it's to prevent transfer of virus to you mucous membranes by touching them with your hands. All the other things, like staying home whenever possible, washing your hands, and maintaining physical distancing, are all good too. The cloth mask is just another tool.
Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. And after a binging a bunch of 'hard' shows (Narcos, Breaking Bad, Chernobyl, Watchmen) something light was really welcome. Enjoy it, and report back!
