Haircut this week, hurrah!

I have grown out my colour and have been cutting it myself. It looks much better than I had expected. So next Tuesday I will be having a good haircut but no more four-weekly £50+ colours(including cut and blow dry) which I would have been doing for at least the next ten years(God willing). Apparently my haircut ,shampoo and blow dry will cost £33.00 so long term I will be saving at least £250.00 per year.

I’ve just had my first cut in 4 months, I’ve also decided no more colours for me and to embrace the grey, and I absolutely love it. Underneath the dye and the highlights the natural colour is fabulous, and I feel quite trendy for the first time ever!

This Thursday, thank goodness. DH and I have a double appt in a 'private room'. I'm trying to embrace the grey but not happy with my dull mop at the moment.

My appointment is for next week but I have to say that my hair has not looked too bad as it's been growing out (I usually keep it very short). However, I am reminded of the Duchess of Cornwall sometimes when I look in the mirror now!

My appointment is on Saturday, but not until the evening. I haven't had my hair cut since 5th February and my hair grows quickly so it's really long, but shapeless!
When I decided to stop colouring GillT57, I went for a shorter style and the two-tone look only lasted for the 6 weeks between cuts. I now have natural highlights - 50 shades of grey - and some white streaks. This time I'm thinking of having a much longer style to show them off.

180 minutes until mine !!

Can I also recommend you invest in some shampoo/conditioner/mousse for silver hair? I was worried when I went grey that my hair would become coarse and dry, but needn't have worried. I also use a brightening shampoo once a fortnight.

I am having a haircut tomorrow. He is coming to my home.
I had it cut back in early Feb -first haircut since chemo ended.
I am keeping it short - no bother style - wash and leave. It has thickened up considerably, is now growing very quickly, and I am happy with it for the first time in my life. Am so looking forward to tomorrow.

I’m quite envious of you ladies all going for hair cuts, as I’m high risk I won’t be going as I’m high risk so I’m going to have to put up with mine for many more weeks ??

Had mine done yesterday. My lovely lady comes to my house. She wore a visor, sanitised instruments before and after and used disposable apron. Feel amazing! I keep my hair short as it is very thick and wavy and the waves at the back of my head were forming little tiny 'shelves' as my son put it!

I'm certainly not in any rush!! I'm still sheilding till the end of the month and even then I'm going to be so careful. I've quite liked mine as it's grown. Unsure whether to embrace the grey or not but bought a colour which Mr BA will do for me if and when

I've got my mobile hairdresser coming tomorrow morning - and like everybody else on here, there's 5 months worth of chopping, as opposed to the usual 6 weeks. It's currently too long for me to attempt to blow-dry and too heavy to hold any kind of 'shape' even with a good dose of hairspray to try to hold it in place.

I normally keep my hair VERY short and manageable, but at the moment I look like something the cat dragged through a hedge backwards.

Tomorrow, I'll be a happy, smiley Ollie :-).

I'm going at 2:30 this afternoon. Yipee, I'll be back to my normal cropped pixie cut, instead of having to wear a side parting to keep my hair off my face, and very straggly sides and back.

I did cut my fringe myself some weeks ago.

I have to wear a mask, and take nothing with me.

My hairdresser is mobile and I've had no word yet of when he will be allowed to come. He has about 100 clients waiting to be done so I'll have to wait my turn no doubt. I do hope its not too long though.

I went to the hairdressers yesterday and had decided to carry on growing out my colour. Was told that people with salt and pepper grey with curly hair looked like a little old lady Didn’t make me feel good. Didn’t really enjoy the experience - mine cost £37 for a cut and blow. X

Off topic here as I colour my hair myself and the trim can wait but I'm looking forward to the dentist on Friday!

I have to wait until nearly August for my cut and blow dry despite having an appointment for lock down week. Really looking forward to it, just a small surcharge of £1.50 to cover PPE and alterations to the salon which is OK by me. I'm really pleased I stop dyeing my hair two years ago. Its saved me a fortune.

I too have an appointment booked with normal hairdresser at her home. I've been using her for the last 6 years and do like her doing my hair. However she has decided to increase all her prices by a whopping 30% for some reason. I have to say I'm not too happy with that amount of an increase and I can honestly say not sure how she has measured the increase. Her normal annual rise is around 10% which has already taken place this year. I have decided to go as scheduled on 17th July and I shall make up my mind then if I should start going back to a salon and at least feel I'm being given a lit bit of pampering. Interested to see if anyone else has had this large increase.

Ah Joanmac so glad you found out how lovely your own hair colour is, one benefit to lockdown at least. Unfortunately I can't even wear grey clothes as they 'wash me out' so looking forward to a colour soon. But, yes, I'm waiting until Aug when I can resume real life. I'm a bit puzzled about nail bars though - our lovely ladies are kitted out with screens to poke your hands through, sanitizer, visors, masks and gloves but they aren't allowed to open yet, what's that about?

My daughter has a salon and cuts and colours mine every 4 weeks.
Unfortunately we’re in the Leicester Lockdown so mine will have to wait.
It’s never looked this bad but I’ve no choice.
My daughter was so upset she can’t reopen, she’s worked so hard making sure everything is just right, new screens and signs plus of course all the PPE.
Fingers crossed we don’t have lockdown extended again.

I have longish curly hair so have let it grow with the occasional trim I’ve done myself. I’m going to leave it and see if hairdresser salons cause virus spikes. If they don’t I will have it done before going on holiday in August ( in the U.K.)

What a shame that a visit to the hairdresser is now more like a hospital appointment. Never liked going anyhow but have found one I like who is very busy and doesn’t take much notice of me, which I like. Don’t like fuss. Would like to leave my head behind and pick it up later?
In the meantime am growing it and like it, with root spray until I get round to a visit. Don’t fancy doing my own highlights!
DONT GO GREY GALS ? There are too many snow caps around and we all end up looking the same, no offence. For most women it’s extremely ageing.
If the salon is too expensive, grab a box of colour.??

My hat off to all ladies who during this long lock down have been so patient,I cant imagine not having a hair cut for so long.The country where we live have not closed much thank goodness, so I have had my hair cut three times during your lock down, I havent dared mention this earlier,thought I might get beheaded.
Enjoy your hairdressers everyone,and feel like humans again.

31 July. How will I survive ?

Thanks for the tips tabbycat, I shall have a good chat with my hairdresser and gradually work in my grey. Don't worry hollysteers I don't intend to end up as what my late DM called 'cauliflower heads', all white and curled
