COVID-19 casualty: I need a haircut!

I had an appointment on March 27. Of course everything was closed and still is. I'm a guy. I don't have COVID-19. But it's already been seven weeks since my last haircut. I can't wait another five or six weeks--and things may not even be open by then. I live alone. I don't mind being at home, in fact I prefer it. However, my hair gets thick and bushy.

Any recommendations? What are you guys doing with your hair? Any else getting kind of crazy about their hair?

I trimmed mine myself. Key word: Trim.

Or, you could get a flowbee.

Good lord, Mary. Who the fuck is even going to see you in the next two months?

Wear a hat....or a fucking Easter bonnet!

I ran out the first week to get a haircut, got it reduced to a 1 all over.

R2. The people at the grocery store will see me! I'll see me! Having fairly decent hair length is the only thing that makes me feel somewhat human during this crisis. I could go off the deep end any day now.

Honey, sounds like you passed that rubicon already.

We'll bring long hair back, it will be a new trend.

Mary, life goes on even if you aren't looking your fuckable best. Let this be a challenge in overcoming your own vanity by having to go without a haircut for a few months.

R7. Stop calling me Mary. I'm trying to have a sensible, rational or even humorous discussion. No need to be insulting, you mean bitch.

Just give yourself a buzz cut to tide you over.

Buy some clippers at CVS and buzz yourself down. Or get someone to do it for you. Is there someone you trust who’s not Covid? There are lots of YouTube videos that will show you how.

I'm surprised more attention hasn't been paid to the practice of covering one's hair while outside and shampooing nightly. I have been wearing hats or scarves to avoid airborne particles landing on my hair, and a bedtime shampoo prevents said germs settling into my pillowcase and, subsequently, my face and nasal passages during the night.

Miss ,with all due respect, I have my own problems. I have no time to accommodate everyone else's.

2 shots of scotch + 2 mirrors + electric clippers = Haircut!

MARY!

MARY!

MARY!

You'll either have to buzz it off yourself... or you can hire someone to come into your home and do a professional cut. You'll have to be prepared to pay well.

Pretty sure that Pet Grooming salons can still open, you could give one of those a try?

I’ve got a set of hot rollers you can borrow.

by Anonymousreply 22April 1, 2020 11:04 PM

OP, how do you know you’re not Covid-positive?

Did you get a test? And even if you did, and tested negative, every time you step foot out of your house you risk picking it up and a change in your status.

Or the same for anyone who may cut your hair.

You’re hot anyway. Your hair growing out is endearing.

by Anonymousreply 23April 1, 2020 11:05 PM

Highly doubtful that is OP in the picture, R23.

Buy yourself a nice scarf and tie it around your head! It will keep your hair back and out of your face. Then if you go outside you can put the scarf around your nose and mouth if you don’t have a face mask!

OP, I should have gotten a haircut the second week of March. Well, now we're stuck. Who cares! No one does. And I decided to stop shaving too. I'm into the second for that. It's itchy. I've never had a beard, so why not now? See what I look like at the start of June.

I know that, r24 and r26. I’m not that fucking stupid.

But would it hurt to give someone a compliment who’s clearly having an issue with his appearance? I mean really?

I didn’t want to tell OP he looks like a fucking caveman and smells equally bad. Oh, can he see this post? Oops.

Since when have we started doing things like that around here???

Fuck you, r32!!

Is that Datalounge-y enough?

Seriously, though, I haven’t been handling this whole pandemic thing very well mentally, and being an essential worker doesn’t help. A little humor at the end of the day helps me a lot.

4 to 6 more weeks of house arrest and we're all going to be wearing lumpy buzz cuts and off-register lipstick.
