Hair today ... something something tomorrow.

Been buzz cutting my own hair for 30 years. Worn out two sets of Wahl clippers so far, and on my way to wearing out a Remington HC 5850.

Cut every two weeks. Touch up once a week.

Visit the barber twice a year as a treat - and to thin and clean up the cowlicks and derelict edges.

Having spent too much time and energy on looks and insecurity when I was young, I view the whole process as a kind of mortification, an erasure of vanity.

And at a substantial savings.

 

I go about every six weeks. I have all of my hair but it's been graying since I was in my early 20s and there's more salt than pepper these days. I suppose it's a tradeoff, as I know several friends who basically had to revert to shaving their heads in the late 20s because they went bald early. I've experimented with long hair in the past but mine seems to grow out more than down and it just doesn't look good anymore. Plus, I enjoy the small perk at my barber of a warm lather straight razor shave on the back of the neck.

 

A local football coach hasn't cut his hair or shaved his beard since schools shut down in March. He's holding out 'til high school sports return.

I think he looks like an extra from "Cats," but somebody else said he can add a pillow and fill in for Santa. Now that he realized it's a big deal, he's trying to turn his post-game shave into a fundraiser.

 

I think I have enough now that, if I get it cut, I probably need to consider donating. But it will NOT be a flat top.

No curls and certainly no dreads. Might be almost as long as Songbird's was.

 

Apparently I get my hair cut waaaaaaay less often than any of you ... and I'm a girl
Until a month ago I had gone 25 months without a professional cut. I snipped my bangs now and then, and every few months would flip it over upside down to cut the straggly ends with regular scissors, which only made it worse. For a decade-plus I had paid a pretty penny to have my hair cut in a NYC salon every few months, and decided a couple years ago it's one expense I could do without. (At minimum the cut was $90 -- just a cut, not a blowdry, no color, before tip which was always at least 20 percent. And half the time I wasn't happy with the cut.)

I only caved and went to a salon last month, after they opened, because I was sick of my 102yo grandma nagging me. I sound like a 15yo girl.

 

I trimmed my CovidBeard a couple of times in the last six months, mostly just stray hairs and moustache getting too long over the lip. Originally wasn't going to have until sports were back, but then it kind of became an election thing. Now I'm auctioning off the beard. People will have the choice of any Presidential whiskers. My persona faves.

 

Long hair girls are lucky. Short hair girls need constant attention, every five to six weeks. It's exhausting.

I go about once a month for a haircut and beard trim. I shaved it for a long time but stopped when my son was born, and he turns 11 in November. I still have a full head of hair, tho I’ve been slowly going gray during my 30s.
