I will absolutely not be cutting my own hair. It will be in a ponytail or headband before I attempt that.

I will just let my hair grow longer. I hope I can use whatever hair clips I have to control my mop. My hairdresser was seriously ill for 4 months a few years ago. Until she returned to her salon, I just let it grow out and I was fine.

I have thought about cutting my own hair a few times. So far I have resisted. I couldn't even do a good job of cutting my daughter's bangs when she was little.

I could never understand how a person could cut their own hair. I can see learning how to cut bangs.

i will be pulling my back as well.

i just know I will not be happy when the gray starts taking over :(

Merely 'growing out' here. I have 1/4" of baby fine grey coming in. About half of my chin length brown hair is still 'heavy', but I have two years of 'chemo hair' closer to my scalp. I had no idea how much easier I had it for 77 years with the coarser texture hair. Now I understand hair spray.

I've cut my own hair before. Don't really care. I can always put it up if it's uneven. lol

I use a lot of mousse when my bangs aren't quite right ... paste'em out of the way. It works for a while.

marilyn c.....I'm going to have to look for a picture for you. Every september, I think I started school with campbell's soup kid bangs and a home permanent done by my mother. She was not good with hair.

My appt for cut and color was to be the 8th of this month. Our shelter in place has been extended through May 4th. My neighbor on the road below is a stylist with her own little shop. I know they've been complying with the 'shelter at home' as tightly as we have, we've talked from the distance across the road. She's not my stylist, but if another extension follows this one I may be asking her for a favor....like shape up my cut in the middle of the street ;)

My state's governor extended our lockdown until May 4. I needed a haircut last week. If by chance it's lifted on May 4, the phone lines will be jammed with everyone calling to make appointments. I don't care though, I'll just use more wax to keep it out of my face. Lol!

I keep mine very short, it's still got natural curl and when it gets too long, I cut it. If I make a mistake it really doesn't show, I just blame it on a curl. I use the wahl clippers on hubby, he won't go to a barber so I just buzz him.

You folks are cracking me up - thanks for the laughs!

I am so, so grateful I got my hair cut just before everything went on lockdown. I usually go months in between cuts.

I guess we don't all have the same talents. I saw a picture of Moni after she cut her hair, she is pretty to begin with but the haircut was wonderful.

I do have around 6 wigs, wearing my fave right now, it is lightweight and easy to wear. I bought them some years back, my nurse supervisor had breast cancer and with all the treatments she had to wear a wig so all of us nurses and clerical staff who were in the office with her started to wear wigs too so she would be more comfortable about wearing hers.

I cut my hair yesterday. I wear it pretty short. I looked at some utube videos to see if I could learn anything new. I have cut my hair before. I cut DH hair so I have a clippers which is one for pets. I had cut the top and sides with a scissors. When I started on the back with the clippers I was scared. It turned out really cute. I just said I think it looks just as good as if a beautician had cut it. Besides I'm not going anyplace for anybody to see it. DH said a bad haircut only last a few days anyway, then it grows out. I cut his hair one time right before we were going to Canada for an international clogging convention. I forgot to put the crop head on it and I shaved it on one spot on the back. He always wore a cap though so no one could see it. When they played the national anthems he had to go to the bathroom so he didn't have to take his cap off. He still gives me @#&& about it and that's been at least 20 years ago. after watching the videos I think I will also buy a thinning shears when I get to a store.

Do any of you remember the Flowbee? It hit the market in 1986. I still have mine! I attach it to my vacuum cleaner and as fast as it cuts, it sucks the hair into my vacuum and I have no mess to clean up. I'm not going to say I give myself awesome haircuts, but I'm pleased with it. Saves me money, too.

We had just both been to the salon right before it was shut down. I have cut my husband's hair in the past and trimmed mine but that was back when I could use my hands. Now with the pain I have in them I don't know if I could do much. I had mine cut pretty short, I guess I was expecting this to happen.

I have just the right amount of natural curl in mine too, and so does DH so it makes it easier to cut I think.

Agree be gardening. I cut my husband's and sons hair. Use a electric clippers with the 2, 21/2and 3 inch spacer things. My husband has a little curl and when I cut it, it always looks good. My son's fine straight hair shows every flaw and I really have to take more time. I have learned to do texturing, not with texturizing scissors, and that helps.

Neither of them want a classic buzz cut, they want a few inches in length.

On our local news last night they reported that there has been an upswing of the sale of hair clippers and trimmers. DH has been cutting his own hair for 15 years with his clippers and then I use the little trimmer for the back of his head.

I have been letting mine go gray since Thanksgiving of 2018 ( last time I colored) so that's not an issue. I also wear my naturally curly kinky frizzy hair loose but have been putting it in a pony or bun lately so the length is not a big issue. I only now get it cut every few months and I sure am do for that (for shaping). DH on the other hand, was kind of overdue for a cut when this all was starting and needless to say looks pretty shaggy. We do have an old electric trimmer that I guess I will try to use to neaten him up. We looked as online and so many are of stock but I believe we did end up ordering something figuring whenever it comes will be fine. (we have amazon prime, but seriously - this is not life sustaining!).

i am ready for a super short cut, which i never do. but this situation is changing my way of thinking, why i don't know.... just a change?

i would look horrible with short hair, lol!! maybe color it a crazy color instead???

was thinking Demi Moore's cut in Ghost, that short!!

I needed a haircut back in February, but was planning to put it off until just before our scheduled trip to Costa Rica in early March. Then my life changed, and although I probably could have got it cut before everything closed down it didn't occur to me.

Now I don't know what I'm going to do. About my hair or anything else.

My father would always cut his own hair for most of his life, and had even invented something like the Flo-Bee more than a decade before that was first marketed, but I don't think I'm ready to try DIY on my own head.

I had my hair cut right before all this shutdown business. I go about 12 weeks between trims anyways so I'm good. No hair dye, no nails, no eyelashes...I'm pretty low to no maintenance sooooo….My daughter made the comment that now she's going to have to pay for a "whole new set" instead of a fill once the nails salons open back up LOL...funny girl!!

Bob....I have a Flowbee..It works pretty good. I cut my husband and sons hair with it, sometimes use a electric trimmer. My sister cuts her hair and her husband's with a Flowbee. I've seen another brand that uses a vacuum cleaner on YouTube. It's smaller and maybe less complicated, is this it?

I cut DHs hair yesterday for the first time in decades. (I used to cut the boys' hair and his too when the kids were young.) He said he liked my cut job better than the one he gets at Sam's. I had just told my hairdresser to cut my hair a lot shorter, and then within a week, the stay at home orders occurred. My hair looks definitely longer but just fine. A few years ago, I went 4 months without a cut when my hairdresser was coping with cancer surgery. She is well, thank goodness, and my hair did well during the hiatus too.

I've cut my husband's hair for a while now. I watched a youtube video that was very instructive and easy to follow, and his hair turns out great. I finally decided to cut myself an A line Bob yesterday (also via youtube video :). Was pretty nervous, but it turned out great.

Could not wait a minute longer. Our 12 year old granddaughter cut her hair last Friday and did a great job. I have been trimming small amounts off mine. I got up Saturday and thought its time. Have haircutting scissors that I used years ago. My hair is a pixie and the more I cut the more I liked it. Washed and put in styling and loved it. I just followed the pattern from my last cut and fortunately it worked for me.

My son has a flowbee but has never used it on himself. It was in his late father’s house.Now they are selling for $100s on eBay.

I want to try to cut mine so bad but I'm just too chicken. :(

I've looked at DIY videos and unfortunately there aren't a lot for a very short Pixie cut and the ones that are there quite frankly look awful. There is one that looks awesome but I have a feeling the girl doing it is a professional plus she is very young and pretty and would probably look good in anything. DH does his own with a Wahl clipper but when I've searched for how to use it on women's short haircuts the results look horrific. This is what's the worse thing about really short hairstyles, when they start growing out they look awful. I used to know a woman who used a Flowbee but I didn't like her hairstyle.
