Pandemic Hair

Actually, my biggest pandemic hair stress was that I had to get my passport renewed and they need a picture, of course. No hats allowed! So I needed to do SOMETHING because that’s a picture that’s gonna be with me for 10 years… I booked an appointment right after the salons re-opened but then cancelled because there was a surge in the B-117 variant. I ended up cutting my own bangs and it looked so good, at least for that day, that I immediately went out and got my passport picture and sent the application out. Phew!

Totally incognito, with knit hats. I cut my own bangs but I have curly hair so the rest of it – no can do my own haircut….. Also: no camera on the zoom, thank you…

I lucked out got a haircut before salons closed I have a pixie cut and had my side’s buzzed so I’m good thank god

I’m quarantined with a secret lover and he lit his hair on fire during a candle lit bath. So that’s his pandemic hair.

Haha I love this. I keep thinking I’ll weather the plague looking either Pentecostal or GI Jane, depending on how annoyed I get with hair touching my neck. Right now it’s weird twisty things that possibly look old-fashioned or possibly 90s rave. Best not to think about it.

Well it will be a toss up between Chop it and The Incognito. It just depends upon whether or not I can keep the scissors away from my hair

Chopped it and love how it turned out!!

Add another one to the “I was about to schedule my pixie cut maintenance before quarantine started” mullet. Been using bobby pins to keep my hair out of my face. Seriously considering wearing scrub caps at work, even though I’m not in the OR. Possibly could claim it’s an infection control measure?

Definitely the black swan

I’ve been coloring my hair for almost 30 years due to hereditary premature gray. Last July I shaved off 24 inches of crazy thick curly hair because of chemo. It started coming back WHITE in November! Just before lockdown a stylist snuck up on me with a cape and shears while my daughter did my nails. Now I’m rocking a faux hawk!!! I say, if you want to shave it, go for it! It’s very liberating :)

My youngest girl keeps pestering me to get myself a new haircut, I just might go for it this weekend!

I can just imagine the run on salons when we’re all able to go back!

LOL what happens in the bun stays in the bun. SEEN!

Noe of the above? I’ve been trying out the Curly Girl Method for a bit now. One upside for me in quarantining has been the chance to dry out different products and techniques without worrying about how my hair turns out! It’s mostly been great – I have time to let it air dry, and it just comes out shiny and for the most part, in beautiful curls! Too bad there is no one here to see it :)

I’ve been getting tons of compliments over video chats…and eye rolls about the effort I must be putting in – but it’s the least I’ve ever done to my hair! Hoping I come out of this with a solid, easy routine.

I am now “The Chop’t” (!). Well, more like “The Cautiously Trim’t Whilst Sweating Profusely.” Turned out all right!

I decided 18 months ago to stop dying my hair and let the gray shine……so happy about this decision now!

I had a regular appointment right before our city went into Stay Home mode, but my boys were supposed to go at Spring Break. That didn’t work out, so I trimmed my 9-year-old’s bangs at his request, and I think they look pretty good. The memes about this small aspect of pandemic life are so funny!

Another story is my husband’s hair…he badly needed a cut before we started staying at home. May be best to shave it… I’m too afraid to attempt to cut it, but maybe I should try??

i just did it a month ago, and it’s life changing! You won’t regret it.

Rapunzel disguised as a Black Swan for work

Black swan all day, every day.

definitely chemistry lab, i tried to dye my “growing out blonde” hair brown. the couple inches of root hair looks ok but my blonde ends turned out blue! i don’t know how that happened, but whatever. my kids have mixed reviews. my youngest thinks it’s so cool she asked me if i would dye hers purple LOL

I let my fiancé give me a buzz cut with his clippers. It actually looks pretty good!

A sub-category of The Incognito could be advanced bedhead, with couch cushion embellishment.

The bun most days until… I started dreaming of bangs? Seems like a bad idea to attempt myself. But maybe will do a light dusting at the ends to get rid of split ends?

My dad, on the other hand, wants me to give him a haircut. Wish me luck.
