Are you missing your hairdresser

My crop hairstyle is turning into a 1970s footballer's mullet cut. Perhaps a little pigtail at the back? Either that or the kitchen scissors!

Nope, my DH does mine and I do his. I bought a "thing" that I can place on my hair and say, "Cut there." It isn't perfect but then neither is the rest of me and as I rarely go anywhere, it does me. I rarely leave a hairdresser fully satisfied, this form of hairstyling is pretty much the same but other people notice it too.

Boots consider hair dye to be a non essential item and won’t sell it apparently.

I do feel for all ladies who cant get to the harirdresser,I feel so lucky. I dont live in the UK and there arent many restrictions here,I had my hair cut a few weeks ago and asked my hairdresser to cut it really short, just in case she had to close down, however I am hoping to get to my next appointment in three weeks, as I always have a cut every four weeks, I do have a short style. I consider myself very lucky having this luxury at this difficult time.
Good luck ladies, who may find a new style before this is over,I am thinking of you.

I was due a cut and colour the day of lockdown. But cancelled before that anyway, my friend who's a hairdresser does it. Didn't want to chance it. It is just long enough to go into a little ponytail. I FaceTime my family and friends they don't look too frightened when they see me?

I was overdue for a haircut just as the lockdown started - mind you, didn't have my hair cut before for nearly 2 years before as my days off were Sunday and Monday, so ended up having to pin it up to sleep as it wrapped round my neck in my sleep and also pin it up in pony tails, or a bun during the day, so being unable to have it cut just when I had the spare cash to have it done is torture!

I haven’t been to a hairdressers since 1964. We had just moved and a hairdresser in the new town made such a bad job that I have always done it myself since. People have often remarked how nice it looks and asked for the name of my hairdresser. Think of all the money I have saved.

I've been trying to disguise the growing out grey bit for a few months by my hairdresser's judicious application of skinny highlights. Was due for a repeat last week <sigh>. Meanwhile the fringe is halfway down my nose.

I cant raise my arms without pain(too many health problems to mention) but sometimes let my daughter's help me colour if cant get in at hairdressers,but of course i cant do that now,so am just using a 'top-up' brush on root colour.and gathering ends of a ponytail& chopping very end off! My youngest son(17 next week) looks like he's got a cliff richard quiff but as he uses hair clay to push it back he's going to look like jedward soon!??older son cuts his own often with hair clippers& doesnt do a bad job,but his brother refuses to let him near his

My hair apt was due the Friday before the official lock down started but as DH is 'vulnerable' thought it best to give it a miss. Silly woman, it would have been a good time to get that really short cut I've wanted to try but haven't dared as by the time this is all over ot would have grown again.

I should have had a cut and colour this week so yesterday I trimmed my fringe and took a couple of inches off the length myself. Using tongs to turn the ends under covers a multitude of sins! A spray on colour covers the regrowth!

Think of all the money you could have made Bijou,doing theirs as well...

One word to the OP.
YES.
I was due a cut and colour on the week of the lockdown, so am disappointed I didn’t get it done the week before. I’m managing with a weekly wash and blow dry, though it’s difficult as I had hand surgery in January and my hand is nowhere near back to normal. My husband washes my hair for me, and I dry it it, with difficulty. I’m convinced I’ll look a witch with long, straggling, greyish hair by the time this is all over.

Boots will be sorry when theyre stuck with all the leftover hair colour stock,and could have made more money selling it,as its not cheap per pack is it?We ladies wont want it when lockdown is over as we'l flock to the hairdressers again.& hairdresser will make the profits!

My sons stopped telling me my 'hairs getting grey' now as i just give him the 'hard stare'...or mention jedward..

my hairdresser was just in process of updating her website, she is on her own and still has rent to pay. She sent me a lovely e mail and has taken a temporary morning job in a supermarket. So far so good re my hait, I did cut my fringe and side bits by following a youtube video. The rest is still short enough not to be bothersome

Not sure where you do live Joesoap but maybe if there WERE more restrictions there we wouldn't all have to do this as the bl**dy virus wouldn't be spreading like wildfire.????

Im gladly missing a haircut,if it means we can help get rid of it by not going out & about.

I bought a wig off Amazon just in case this goes on for 3 months or more

Try get hair colour with shopping order,or try superdrug online maybe?

I am trying hard to imagine where you must live joesoap not to be under isolation and movement restrictions?

YES!

There will soon be a new slogan on Gransnet. “Every head has a silver lining!”
I have never dyed my hair, so that’s not a problem. It’s very grey at the front, and a mix of grey and brown at the back. I’m 80, and wish that it would go to the lovely silver that my mum had from in her sixties.
I have a very short style, and usually just ‘wash and go’ but it was due for a cut when the incarceration began, and is beginning to annoy me already. The idea of cutting it myself is rather scary. Heaven knows what it would look like afterwards.
I wonder how many ladies will find that their hair condition improves after not being regularly doused with chemicals. I sometimes wonder if the body absorbs hair treatments too, and whether they are harmful. People don’t like the idea of our food being sprayed with heaven-knows-what, but are quite happy to do it to themselves.

My hair grows really, really quickly so I have it cut very short every five weeks. It was due to be cut last week and is already getting out of hand. It just gets thicker and thicker . Looks like I’ll have to cut it myself and if it’s a mess then wear a hat for a few weeks until it grows. Long hair is much easier to cut!

I dont miss the hairdresser. My hair is quite long anyway and I embrace the grey which I find no problem with doing. Last time I went to hairdresser for a trim was errrr August last year. I've been trimming it myself since then, great not to have to find time to make appointments!
