how are you coping without visits to hairdresser

Apparently Alice bands are back in style again so....
I like the sound of long and silver Blinko. Think I will go with that. ;)

Very we thanks to my husband and an online colour from ESalon.
I’m really thrilled although I was terrified never having done it at home before.

I have to have mine done every 6 weeks . It is very thick and wavy and I keep it short. I am due to have it done next week and it is already showing signs of wildness! I wouldn't dream of tackling it myself. I dread to think what I'll look like in a few weeks! A minor problem I know considering whats going on. Stay safe all x
.

Ha ha - I didn't have any hair until a month ago and I am hoping it will grow back before the end of lockdown!!

Fortunately about a year ago I embraced the grey so no more worries about my roots needing retouching! I have a couple of hair bands I might need to practice with should my short style become unruly!

In 18 months when we're allowed out to play again, mine will be long and silver. I'll try an updo...

I have just had a text to say that the Alice bands I ordered online are to be delivered! I expect I'll still look like a sheep, as my grandson remarked on Skype recently.

I'm not at all bothered. Had a much shorter cut in December, which I have since realised was too short for me so happy for it to grow our a bit. More concerned about the colour. Now I have run out of tinted shampoo it is looking way too white. Ah, well, no biggie in the scheme of things.

I was due for a cut and colour on the 27th March but it was cancelled. I have trimmed fringe - I twisted it and snipped off a bit and it has come out ok - my hair is really long now well over my shoulders but I kinda like it

At home I resist looking in the mirror; for the odd food shop I shall be wearing a hat soon.

My husband has very thick curly hair and was due to get it cut just as lock down happened. Needless to say he very quickly got to look like the mad Professor. Asked me to have a go at it (I can’t even blow dry my own, so was reluctant) but gave it a go with a comb and a pair of kitchen scissors! He has been showing it off with a very smug grin on FaceTime with the family so he must be happy with it. Might be different next time as I have more confidence now and plan to do a more thorough job. ?

Should have gone last week. Trimmed my fringe, but the rest can look after itself, colour included! May have to find a way of hiding my roots.

Lockdown only started three weeks ago so surely most people's hair can't have grown that much yet?

I'd not been since December. Kept putting it off. It's not my favourite activity!

Finally made an appointment but then got the message that they'd closed

So I've been 4 months without a 'do'

Getting my hair cut is very low on my list of priorities.

Ditto

That's true JS. I would LIKE to think I'll let my grey grow in, get all the died hair grow out and go au-natural. I won't though. I get BORED with hair and muck about with it.

I feel so guilty when I read this thread, because hairdressers havent closed down here (not UK)

They've closed in my area

My hair is longer than it has been for years and my roots are proving I'm far greyer than I thought!

But it matters not in the greater scheme of things

Hate going to hairdressers,always cut and colour my own

I feel so guilty when I read this thread, because hairdressers havent closed down here (not UK) and I have been to the hairdresser a month ago as usual, and my next appointment is next week. I am sure I wouldnt be able to cope if there was a lock down like in the UK. I admire you all, and I am sure you will have some new styles in the end,could be the begining of new styles for many.

Very easily as I don’t go there but once in a blue moon. Hate the places.

My hair had its first cut in Feb after growing back after chemo.
Before chemo I had quite plentiful, dead straight fine hair cut in a a mid length bob. It was light brown - frosting a bit at the temples.
Now I have plentiful short dark grey hair that has a kink to it and body for the first time ever. I should wash it every day, otherwise it sticks straight up as if I have had an electric shock. In these days of lockdown I don't always bother. It needs a cut again now to tame it. I will take the scissors to the back of it myself to control the mullet look.
I call my style Mad Scientist and the colour Frosted Donkey.

Hair becoming heavy so that it lies too flat. Put heated rollers in to give it some bounce. Have a plan to use clips to pin the sides up loosely, but enough that I can see around corners!

My hair is quite thin due to an under-active thyroid so I keep it very short and spiky, which makes it look thicker. Should have been at the hairdresser's today and am trying not to look in the mirror at all as my head now resembles a dandelion clock .... or that mad professor from the "Back To The Future" films.

My stylist is fantastic and as she has her own business I have paid upfront for 2 visits , this helps to keep her business viable even at this moment. She cuts my hair so beautifully and because of this the style grows out really well. I am luckily going white naturally so the colour edging out will hopefully look natural enough.

was due at the hairdressers when the lockdown happened. always have short hair and when my fringe starts to need being pushed away i know i am ready for a haircut. i coloured my hair a few weeks ago but am now desperate for a cut but am hopeless at trimming so maybe will have to wait

Mine was all shoulder length so I could tie it up out of my eyes in windy weather, now I'm catching any flyaway bits and hacking them off with kitchen scissors, developing a bit of a mullet but only at the front. DH and son much easier, have clippers for the cockapoo and just use those. All three get lined up for buzz cuts now.
