    :(

    It's starting to look a bit wild out there. :eek:

    Me personally, i'm wearing a hoody to hide it but is only temporary fix.

    When will our front line hair dressers be back at work?

    I feel your pain.... As my mother always said, better to be looking at it than for it....

    Just quit being a pussy and shave it off by the time this all over you'll have a full head of hair again.

    The first casualty of quarantine is hair.

    I stopped shaving a week ago because I don’t have to anymore and ran out of hair gel three days ago.

    I’m almost four weeks overdue getting my hair cut so now instead of it standing up straight it’s all floppy (fnarr).

    At this stage, OP must be the last soul in the country who is not a ( DIY ) hairdresser :D


    ( OP, probably best do nothing 'till you are certain that its not going to snow real soon )

    It might shrink in the wash.

    Be a man, get the razor out and get rid of it.

    Reckon most users “boasting” about their facial hair will be coming out of this whole thing with a “beard” like the one shown below:

    If you need a set of clippers, Amazon and the like are sold out.

    Powercity still have stock and are shipping - ordered a set on Saturday.

    Looks like we found the man who can’t grow a beard. Don’t worry, your balls will drop eventually.

    I couldn’t really be arsed about my hair growing longer and a bit shaggy!!

    I usually leave it 3-4 weeks late anyway to get a cut when it’s needed. I’m coming close to that stage now anyway, so another 2-3 weeks on top of that won’t do any harm!!

    I’m not trying to impress anyone in my local Tesco anyhow, so it makes no odds!!

    I cut my husbands hair yesterday. He hasn’t asked for a divorce yet but let’s be honest, he can’t exactly move out now either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,085 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Bought a clippers online and got Mrs to cut it.

    Didn’t go as close as barber but very happy, will clip a little tighter next time.

    Bit of practice and I’ll probably skip barbers completly.


    I see lots of barbers saying not to diy the hair and it’s better long than butchered. I’d say they are very afraid of people not returning if they get used to doing it at home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Good excuse for me to let it grow for a bit.

    Did my first DIY fringe homecut yesterday - followed instructions online from a barber in Sligo - not too bad a result and can see out now. The rest I can cover with a hat.

    I predict shares in hats and bandanas will rise!

    I did a number 2 all over last week, my head was cold at first and it was the first time in a very long time I went so bare on the head.

    Luckily I had a clippers which I rarely used as I bought it in the last recession to save money on haircuts, the main saving was in lack of dates however.

    I did a number 4 and scissors trim on my fathers last week also and his hair looks way better whereas I look like an egg head. Start with a higher number and if you think it is too long go lower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,236 ✭✭✭0lddog


    I changed my name to Jack Russell 'n cut everything with a No.3

    Feels good though right :) space monkey. Shoot you off into space but all part of the learning process, as we are getting to know ourselves.

    And remember if not a sharp fade then we square at the back not the front:

    A more and more common mistake. We wear our widows peak with pride; here like good vampires it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

    The mrs did a great job,then sent a pic to my barber!

    There'll be many changes after the virus and one of the less important one will be Oasis haircuts coming back into fashion.Its around the 25 year fashion cycle now for that to happen also.
