The Coronavirus Haircut Thread

[Flukeshot]

I'm getting really close to having to do this. I typically go every 4 weeks. Was lucky enough to go a bit before shutdown. But I'm at about 10 weeks now and my hats don't even fit

Why are so many people against just letting their hair grow? I've learned that people seemingly can't live without a haircut.

I want to look good rather than looking like a goddamn caveman. I usually go every 6-7 weeks.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

my hair is the longest its been in years and I really like it, I look better than i've looked in a long time but theres no one to see

 

[JMCx4]

Has anyone considered buying a Flowbee? THAT'S when you know you're getting desperate.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I haven't gone to a barber in 25 years. I'm good.

I'm at the point where I need one. It's been 8 months. I can only comb my hair back so far. I work in the kind of environment where appearances matter, whether or not I care. Only reason my boss hasn't explicitly asked me to get one, is because of the shutdown.

Just shave it all off, grow a manly but symmetric manly beard, wear a suit, then you won't have to worry about it for another couple months at least, and your boss won't have anything to whine about. Problem solved, unless you're one of those that looks weirdly awful without hair, or wearing a classy suit.

This statement applies to all men in this thread. If you don't need to worry about your hair, then wait for barber shops to open and then let the professionals worry about the amazonian rainforest on your head, use machetes to trim the excess hair, but if your hair makes you look like a caveman and work requires you to NOT look like you haven't groomed yourself in years, then just shave it all away.

It'll be 10 times better than if you tried cutting your own hair, or got your significant other to do it for you based on my personal experience.

Anyways, I wish you well in the hairy adventures that await you in the near future.

Ha, I'd look awful bald. I can't grow a beard, believe me, I'm trying. I wear suits/sweaters - I've just some wicked flow to go with it. I live alone, so no one to cut my hair. Don't trust myself.

A wise choice. Overconfidence and thoughtlessness can lead to necessary baldness, believe me.

I legit debated driving to an adjacent town the other day, seeing as I live in one of two cities in Alberta that didn't open. Probably kind of unnecessary and immoral though.

Is it from the 90's??? If it can survive the Y2K, it must be good

Finally got a haircut on Thursday. Felt like I lost a pound of hair off of my head.

This thread has taught me more about men's haircuts than I ever cared to know.

It really isn't that hard.

You are obviously a dexterous fellow. I, on the other hand, am not.

I don’t have an option in the hair department (don’t know any hairdressers and trust my friends to cut my hair about as much as I would Sweeney Todd), so that is getting absolutely long and bordering on ridiculous. Def the longest it’s been since my school years.

My beard, I hit a breaking point today. Always had trouble growing in a complete one. Patchy and thin in some areas. But when grown out those spots were hard to locate and looked decent. So with all of this going on and outside of work zooms, I barely had to see anyone and I let my beard go. “Wouldn’t be surprised if someone mistakes me for a homeless person” let it go. But like stated above, I just can’t do it.

Growing a beard is just as much mental as physical. I couldn’t eat another mustache hair or itch anymore. Unfortunately, we lost the beard.

Are you sinister like me?

 

[82Ninety42011]

Just got an appointment for Monday feel like I've won a lottery . Usually go every 10-14 days like it short on sides.

Only tough part is straightening the back. That requires holding a mirror in one hand while looking in a second mirror and remembering that what you are seeing vs your hand movement is reversed. It's kind of like backing a trailer or flying a plane.....certain things are counterintuitive at first.

Beards usually only itch for a 2 or 3 day period. No good if you can't grow a proper full one though.

I normally HATE my hair when it gets too long, but I gave myself the Anakin Attack of the Clones mini ponytail and so far I like the feeling. I might try growing it out into a longer ponytail. If your hair is as long as Revenge of the Sith Anakin you can give yourself the Attack of the Clones Anakin. The youtube tutorials don't take too long to figure out.

I found someone off kijiji and I and got a haircut

I'm in California and my hair is the longest it's been since high school (many decades ago). I refuse to get a "black market" haircut though and will only give my business to my regular hair guy when he is able to give me a haircut legally. And I'll give him an extra large tip as well.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Drove 3 hours each way to get a haircut out of state on Saturday, totally worth it.
