With hairdressers and barber shops now open, though probably with the longest ever queues....! Who has got used to just having their hair grow to new lengths? I used to go to my barber shop once every 4 to 6 weeks for my Number 1 Buzz-Cut.
But right now I feel quite comfortable with nearly 4 months of hair growth... But that might be down to the cold spring weather so far and that extra bit of head insulation.....! smile So are there many here rushing to get back for a haircut....?!

Bought some clippers during Lockdown v1. Doubt I'll go to a barbers again.

I used to get my hair cut every 4 weeks. Went in on Monday and the barber hacked so much of it off I actually preferred the medium length I had on top. Not sure I’ll be going back so often now and think I’ll keep it at a longer length.

I haven't got many more laugh
Another reason for not going back is that I used the barbers near to the office and I am now working from home permanently. I assume lots of small businesses will be losing trade the same way.

Bought clippers during lockdown. 4 cuts done at home so they paid themselves off.
Booked in to the barbers at 1.30pm tomorrow for a proper chop.
Theres just too much mess when its done at home.

Yep, I got clippers too. I stand in the bathroom with the hoover by my side.

Blooming hair everywhere.

My trims are quite good now but it does create a big mess.

Just had mine done, when did getting a hair cut start to take so long?

Every kid in front wanted a basin cut which took at least 35 mins to do what barbers in the 60's did in no more than 5.

And then we had adults trying to look young, but ending up looking like a cross between Gilbert O Sullivan and an overweight peaky blinder.

They are booked up solid for the next three weeks and because they do not know how long each cut will take their timings are so far out as to be laughable.

Ditto.

I'm doing it to 3mm every 3 weeks. I might drop to 1 mm next time.

Hair has always been long, but now it's the longest it has ever been (imagine hipster Jesus). By having it tied up, it's actually a lot less of a hassle than the mid length style I'd usually have which would need more regular washing, application of products etc.

I last went before it all shut down, so at least a year, the last time I had long hair was in college. The hair is nearly ponytailable now. It's nearly a year of letting the face fuzz grow, because I hadn't let it grow more than a couple of weeks max before then. Basically I've gone properly into the hairy look in the last year hehe.

I’ve still got all of my hair, I’m so used to checking to see that squirrels haven’t moved in, that I was in no rush to get an appointment at a barber’s. As luck would have it, my usual barber’s had a slot available next Friday, so that will be fine.

Did a DIY grade 2 about this time last year. It’s now the longest it’s ever been. Going to push on for a bit longer, it’s nearly long enough to tie up and then it’ll be a lot more manageable.

De been cutting my own with clippers for at least ten years, just because I didn't like having conversations with hairdressers.

I look every bit as fabulous as you are all thinking.
