I cut my own hair every morning, really short, been doing it for years so it's not a new thing for me.

I’m getting shaggy. Normally when I get my hair cut, it’s to the short side, 1”, and then I let it grow out to overhanging my ears. Unfortunately I was at reaching the point of needing a hair cut when the CV19 crisis hit. I do trim my hair from the temples to over the ears with scissors, so I‘m mostly showing in the back.

I had gotten my haircut a week before the barber shops and salons closed (2.5 guard on top and a zero on the side), so it's only been a month. If barbers don't open after a month, I'll have a family member buzz my hair with clippers.
I worked from home prior to all this so that part hasn't changed. I travel as warranted but that has all basically been cancelled through at least October as of this post. As for the hair, I normally go every 4 weeks so my hair is getting long by comparison to the length I've been keeping it. Gonna let it ride out and wait for my next appointment, whenever that may be. I'm worried that I may grow a Corona Mullet than anything. I can deal with a man bun if I had to, I'd just wear a hat, but the mullet should stay dead. ☠😂

Same here! Maybe not every morning, but at least three to four times a week. It's magnificent.
Nope, I'm out here looking a mess. My haircut, never realized how high maintenance it was until I couldn't get it cut. Perhaps I'll start growing it long again.
I think the look above would suit you! Maybe not the moustache!
One of the best things I ever did was go cropped, I'm pretty good at it after all these years (the doing the rear "blind"), I get a couple of "variations" as it grows out (I allow for a little top lift, until that gets too long, then even everything out).
I've spent $0 (vs. $60+) cutting my hair over like 2 decades.
However, the best part is the zero hassle hair, dries quick, isn't wrecked when my car roof is down, etc. LOVE IT.

I totally agree with you, but I spend a bit more. I use a safety razor to shave my face, but for my head I still use Dollar Shave Club razors. I probably spend $30/year total...
It's just fantastic.
Oh my god I need a hair cut. I have been letting it go since last August, as a member of my family became ill and I just didn't want to take the time. Finally things were just getting better and I was just going to book a hair appointment , then everything got shut down. At least my bangs I can do myself lol.
Ya, but i never waited for COVID-19... I always cut my own hair... years ago. All you need is a mirror, scissors, comb & allot of patience.
Yes.
Somewhat badly.
With a scissors.
Mainly to reduce the "weight" of my greying, but thick, dark, hair.

Oh yeah, I guess the Wahl clipper I bought was some cost, but that was so long ago, and was break-even after just two saved cuts
I may have told my dumb story before, telling it again, because, well, I've got time
I had been doing long-ish hair, but it would go from a long style to homeless guy in a matter of weeks, and was a frizzy mess without some product and/or some equipment. It was a bit out of hand on a trip to the wife's folk, driving me crazy, on the same trip, I needed to make a trip to the Apple store at their local mall. It's an "interior" store, so looking at a map, the best way was to cut through Sears. Well, when I was leaving, you had to take an escalator up (exits on the upper floor), and it dropped me off right into a grooming section, with a Wall of Wahls, all on sale. It went off like a lightbulb, I found a good one, got back to their house, and went to town
Been doing the same ever since, and that had to have been about 13-14 years ago[?]
Same clippers too! Still running like they were brand new.
I have done long on top, super tight sides and back a few times, looked pretty cool, done with just clippers (and different attachments), and when it gets unmanageable, *boom*, back to cropped. I don't do like a Private Joker tight, it's more like a Ray Donovan
The early bird.
I've always just found it nice to be able to cut it whenever I wanted to.
I know, I was going to link to a clipper with "Buy this", except nothing is in stock at Amazon
Booze and TP, __that__ we have covered
I have a smooth head, a clean bum, and I'm 3 sheets to the wind

I got my clippers at my local supermarket. They're $12 I think. I've been using them for many years.
You just need something sharp and reliable. It doesn't have to be marketed for cutting hair.
Wet shave with classic razor... wins me each and every Agent 47 look-alike contest 😊
Mine grows fast, and I keep it relatively short, so I'm usually at GreatClips every 3-ish weeks. What that means is I was ready for a haircut before most people were, so I jumped on the "let's buy hair clippers" bandwagon before everybody else did and made them go out of stock.
Mine's pretty easy (#4 on the sides and back, #6 on top). My wife was really nervous the first time but now she's comfortable with it and actually enjoys it. I'll probably just keep doing it this way from now on, and give myself a haircut every two weeks to keep it short, and save almost $300 a year.

I've been finding myself fiddling with my hair without even realizing it when I'm concentrating on something. What has happened to me?
