How is your hair doing?

Mine was fine for weeks but is starting to look unkempt. Short hair and now too long but not long enough to do anything with. The side bits are sticking out and so is the bottom of the back and the top is heavy. Too much for me to do anything with now, so it will have to be a 50s cloth hairband very soon.

My hairdresser is re-thinking her life and is enjoying the certainty of working in a supermarket, I hope she comes back but may never, Argh

I have mine trimmed every four weeks and the last one was at the end of February. Bought some hair scissors online and DH gave me a trim. A friend who is a hairdresser looked at it on Zoom and announced 'it would do'! I keep taking a bit off my fringe but had to get DH to cut some off the back length this week and he got a little scissor happy. I'm sure the mistakes will be grown out by the time I'm able to get an appointment again. As others have said, at least we're not going out socially at present.

Mine is usually short and spiky and cut every 4 weeks but is currently still fairly short but completely lacking in style and seems to have developed waves that I don't like. It's a mess tbh.

my Hair is about the only thing I ever looked after well. No matter how little money I’ve had my hair has always been a priority. Mainly because I have a birthmark on my scalp(I’ve just been told has a Basel Cell Carcinoma growing in itshock) that I’ve always wanted to hide, it grows outward rather than down and its thick but fine so a hint of wind and I look as if I’ve got a storks nest on my head. A few weeks ago I bought some thinning scissors, I think from a recommendation from gransnetters. Today I plucked up the courage to use them on my hair. If anyone had told me I’d cut my own hair I’d never have believed them ....never. The result is surprisingly ok. As anyone who has similar hair will know it’s a wonderful feeling of lightness after a haircut. I brushed it and cut it dry. My husband’s opinion......it’s saved money

I took the plunge last night and I now have a short bob again. It does not look too bad although I cannot see the back!!! It will grow.

To answer the OP, it's looking a bit grim!

In anticipation of hairdressers opening in the not too distant future I've just left a friendly voicemail with mine begging asking her to book me in as soon as she opens up!

Also in dire need of an eyebrow wax and pedicure.

Mine is layered, but now the layers are quite long. I had a go at cutting my fringe last week (I should have left it). I colour it myself and at the moment it's very blonde. Like many others around, my hair is looking tatty grin
