FabSwingers.com forum: How is your lockdown haircuts going?

Mine is doing fine. I have always cut mine at home so there is no difference. I have a very easy haircut and it easy to maintain. I just shave the sides and have nr2 on the top. I trim the sides every 3 days so that I keep the fade going on the top, it is fun to do it yourself too

It's a bit uneven and could probably do with some layers, but I'm doing a lot of deep conditioning and have ditched heat treatment, so it's soft, not frizzy like usual, and feels really healthy.

And it's so long help

All under control. I cut my own fringe and managed to colour it myself. At work it gets tied back so my hair is not a problem but my nails are not looking good.

Mine is a mess, I was due one before lockdown and its not been touched since.

It now 3 months overdue.

I am able to do a mohawk or Keith Flint.

Even had bunches last week because I could.

I am having to use conditioner now it's so long.

And get knots when dry it with a towel.

Is a hairdresser. .....

Not back till the 4th.....

I've been reading with amusment, all the.."I am not meeting during lock down,"

And wondering if their in box is as begging as my what's app messages. Some of my gentleman are very demanding about their skin fade lol .

These are going to be a few of my popular remarks,..

"....oh your girl friend you say..?"

"And this person professes to LOVE you, you say?"

" if you brig the trimmer to the shop and hand them over, we will say no more about it"

And the classic....

: do you want me to pop a pair of knickers on it; 'cause you look like a right c....."

So looking forward to it really.

I bought a Wahl clipper set and watched some excellent YouTube videos by Scottish guy called The One Minute Barber on very simple way for guys to cut their own hair and I must say it worked a treat. Not perfect.. But you wouldn't expect it to be but good enough to stop me looking like Wurzel Gumage.

I have given myself two hair cuts since lockdown.

First was a grade 0 on the sides and left the top long....sort of like a peaky blinders style.

Then I shaved it all off...first time I have done that.

I now look very young, as it grows back very fluffy indeed

I don't mind the length on the top, but as I usually get a skin fade at the sides it's becoming a tad annoying.

Look forward to a haircut, for sure.

My (her) hair is all one length, mid length Bob. I have not gone near it with scissors or box dye, I am going to hold off until my hairdressers reopens.

Mr has had a few cuts or rather shaves at home, its looked good in all fairness but nothing as nice as when the barbers do it properly.

I work in an environment where both social distancing and working from.home is impossible. These facts, combined with having a colleague who is a trained hairdresser, means that I've had a decent haircut in return for a bottle of wine.

Shame she's not on Fab, because I definitely would!

Oddly enough my hair hasn't grown at all during lockdown... usually it would be growing super quick and I'd be looking like cousin IT in the length of time we've been in lockdown.

Just my fingernails and toenails have increased in growth because of it .. having to cut my nails every 2-3 days now its frustrating I just cant stand nails
