Discuss your Lockdown Hair problems here!
I'm... I'm starting to look like my mother...
Not a pretty woman, my mother.

My hair is same as always, but the facial fuzz is getting out of hand.
I started growing a quarantine beard for a lark but now I'm too stubborn to get rid of it. I look like someone who's spent a year on a mountain.

Mine is getting thick. I would normally have had it cut by now.
I am taking amusement on Zoom sessions at seeing how people are slowly degrading.. some bushy hair and beards coming forth. I feel sorry for older gentleman with white curly hair. Surely at some point it must pass the density needed to collapse into a black hole...

Unsurprisingly this isn't bothering me. Business as usual. Wash, brush, tie back, done.

BASTARDS! How the #£@&ing heck do you clip your own hair?! And not look like a freak, or amurderer or a... gimboid?! ....to say nothing about my sack 'n' crack! Can't do that yourself!

My hair is now about halfway down my neck, and is doing this thing where it curls at the end. I quite like it at this point, but know it doesn't last.
I went for the Quarantine Beard thing as well, and it seems to have passed some threshold in the past few days where people at work are starting to comment on it. Project manager when I joined a remote meeting this morning before even saying hello was "WOW! Jim, I had no idea you would grow such a rich beard!". Taking it as a compliment!

Its ridiculously easy. Place guard on clippers for desired length and shave away. If your hair is ridiculously long take some scissors to it first to avoid any mishaps.

It's the clippy bit on the barber puts on the front of the razor. Different ones will trim to different lengths. I am usually a Grade 3 on the back and sides with a scissor trim on top.

I did have lockdown hair this time yesterday, it being 2 months since my last haircut, and was in despair having no idea how many more months I'd have to go before the next one. But then an irresistible opportunity presented itself yesterday afternoon, which shall we say involved me briefly affiliating myself to my next-door neighbour's household for the purposes of front driveway hairdressing.

Were the scissors 2m long?

Let's say yes, they were.

But what would the Telegraph say about a local scientific expert claiming the scissors were 2m long?

Actually, our front doors are less than a metre apart and we effectively share an open plan front garden / double driveway. If we had an internal connecting door we'd be one household. At some point common sense has to prevail over mantras or we'll never survive this thing. If people living together can cut each other's hair then someone living on their own can get a haircut from their next-door neighbours, if they are the only people you're having regular face-to-face contact with during the lockdown. The virus can't tell the difference.

This is the idea of a social 'bubble' that the government floated in the papers last week, before they moved onto other more important things like the Boris Baby and telling people to watch their tone and not get upset by people dying.

Neither they nor I are in high-risk groups, I've been working from home for six weeks and I expect it'll be several more before I'm allowed to see family or colleagues again. It would be different if I thought my dad might drive over from Bristol to visit me any time in the next few weeks, but that's not going to happen. Martin

We're hoping for some sort of easing like that as our parents would then be able to visit us when Marmaduke is born in a few weeks.

Well apparently 'easing' is being announced on Thursday, Sunday or next Monday: good communication from Westminister there. Meanwhile, Scotland has already said their lockdown is being extended with no changes.

Mrs M trimmed the excesses away from my ears, fringe and neck this weekend. We are encouraged enough to order some proper barber's scissors to try out thinning the rest.

My hair is getting silly but Jen is not keen on tackling it. It grows wilder.
Grew a rubbish lockdown beard for minor thrills. It comes off tomorrow.
