How bad is
How bad is
...it going to get.
Hair.
Mine is all ready starting to look a bit like a character from Scooby Do , no , not Thelma , the other one. If this shutdown keeps going I may have to resort to a form of self abuse. I have a pair of scissors and a Stanley knife. How hard can it be.
I'm also thinking that a my mid seventies look may be an option.
High waisted Oxford Bags anyone ?

Re: How bad is
My hair absconded from the middle regions. I look like a monk.... oh dear!

Re: How bad is
I last had my hair cut 50 years ago so, apart from the increasing number of white hairs, I don't anticipate much change.

Re: How bad is
It could be worse. If you're on lockdown, who's going to see it?
Also, may we see the pics of Mrs W's hair after you've cut hers in retaliation. auto-correction fail. Of course I typed 'in return'.

Re: How bad is
I haven't bothered to 'pink' mine since lockdown, which isn't an issue really as I often leave it in the interseason
BUT, the roots do rather need doing and that has shown me just how MUCH white I have that isn't from bleach
Oh well - maybe in a few years I won't need to bleach it

Re: How bad is
I started cutting Mr WD’s hair about 7 years ago and so he’s not an issue. Easy with a number 5 on the clippers.
Now with a hairdresser it’s very important to get on with them. I used to have a lovely lady who came to our house and when we moved 15 months ago just couldn’t face trying to find someone, not with everything else that goes with a house move. I never did get round to it and so started to trim my own fringe (yep I’ve still got one) but kinda left the length to grow. Every so often Mr WD has been roped in to trim the split ends and so with the lockdown that hasn’t made any difference.
It’s not too difficult as long as you have a good scissors and let’s face it, hair will always grow back, so if it goes wrong it’s only a short term problem!

Re: How bad is
I can’t be asked to dye my grey out and so it looks as if my hair is dyed because the top of my head is grey/white and the rest is auburn! You might like yours if you leave it grow in or out, whichever is the right phrase.....Noggin wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 9:11 am I haven't bothered to 'pink' mine since lockdown, which isn't an issue really as I often leave it in the interseason

Re: How bad is
Oh I definitely don't dye the 'white' out (lucky to be going white, not grey!!). The bleach is to get blonde from brunette so I can go pink!!

Re: How bad is
been using clippers for the last 20 years.
quick buzz over with a number 3 and jobs a good `un.
the missus still has to do the back, though she does a good job since the first time....."oops!"...….."eh?....WTF does `OOPS!´ mean?"
that resulted in a number 1 to fix the `oops!´.
did i just type that?....aw crap!

Re: How bad is
I have a good friend whose wife used to cut his hair with a clipper. One day she was going through the process but forgot to attach the comb to the clipper. She only realised after doing a long strip from the back of his head through to the front! Needless to say he ended up with a skinhead on that occasion and found a new barbers shortly after....
