Quarantine Day 3: Morale is high: Before shutting my family away, I was able to procure a 20 lb bag of rice and the most important tool for parents of hyperactive 7-year-old: Three handles of cheap whiskey. So far, I haven't been driven insane, and my kids seem more than happy running up and down the stairs 25 times during our 4-a-day "exercise" breaks. My cough hasn't worsened, and I haven't gotten any other symptoms. I do have one problem, though: My hair is long. Too long to wait two weeks to risk getting a haircut. My scalp feels fuller than Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina in a chicken coop. So I'm going to attempt to cut my own hair. My tools: Several pairs of children's safety scissors A beard trimmer A complete lack of experience or knowledge of haircutting Here's the before pic, will report back throughout the process:

I want to try the method where I pinch some hair and cut off the stuff that sticks out, ideally leaving me with hair the width of a finger. The kids scissors aren't really cutting it: It's hard to align them right in a mirror. Having good results with the pinch method and my beard trimmer. That's going to be my main attack.

It looks good if you want to look like crap. Go to my favourite barber: The one with the coupon.

I can't participate because I cut my own hair all the time anyway and right now it's in the sweet spot a little while after the cut where it actually looks ok for some reason

Shaving cream and a straight razor. It works because I'm balding anyway.

I have long flowing locks that I might need to cut off at the root and repurpose for some rope in our postapocalyptic future

Haircut is fine. Now shave the rest of your body so the virus can't hide there.

I always get my hair cut really short now. #2 on the sides and #4 on top. I have really thin, grey hair though so I can't really grow it out. A few years ago I got a small mohawk because I always wanted one so gently caress the po-lice. It didn't look terrible I guess. I might try it again this year when it gets warmer out. We'll see.

I realized at one point that due to my rapidly declining hair the barber was doing like 90% of the job with the clippers and I was like hey I bet I could do that. So I bought a $45 clipper and have been doing my own hair since. Looks fine. Seize the means of hair trimming if you are cursed by male pattern baldness. Just keep it nice and short. No muss no fuss.

My barber costs $13 and then I tip $5+ and I don't miss any weird spots on the back of my head.

I haven’t gotten a hair cut in like 3 years. It’s down to my butthole now and I like it that way but I’m a woman so it’s not gross
