I know there are more pressing needs , bog rolls I managed to buy some today but I need a haircut, 2 back and sides and chopped on the top. I have the full head no receding or satellite dish on top. Partner is getting no where near and I'm not into self trimming. Could be a shaggy few months for me

I’m going to chop all mine off...and likely grow a tash.

Clippers + grade 3 or 4, or 2 if it's hot.

Also has the beenfit of hiding the grey... a little.

I have been having fun trying out new hairstyles since I am in isolation. Clippers set to 2 will sort it all out

I've gone mohawk in readiness for any mad Max type scenario in the next few weeks.. people also give me extra room in the supermarket if I spike it properly

The last time I had to self isolate it was because the guard fell of my clippers and I shaved a diagonal stripe across the top of my head

Thankfully I snuck a cut in on Friday so that should just about see me through this next 3 weeks 😆

If not, I’ll get butchered by my other half!

Sneaked a cut in on Saturday. They were expecting barbers to be closed after today.

Was already receding, so opted for clippers all over given no idea when it might get cut again. Doesn't look quite as Crimewatch as I expected

THe big question is Irish or Blanket?

Grow a mullet- it will be the trend by Christmas. My hair grows so fast I’ll look like Cro-Magnon man in few weeks.

My two boys (14 and 16) have just done each other’s with the horse clippers. It’s like peaky blinders. I on the other hand have been going full caveman and growing the first beard of my life (47)

Yup...missus is stressing out more about her hairdresser shutting down than anything else (and she's a nurse!).
Luckily, I've got clippers for my hair and have offered to "do" her hair whenever she wants. Not an offer she's likely to take up...

Same (43).

Suddenly realised how like my dad I look. Just passed the super itchy day 10-12 bit 😁.

normally a 2 and/or 3 buzzcut for me but looking shaggy as didn't really want to go sit in barbers ....pretty sure somewhere in the garage is an unopened random purchase by mrs antigee...electric dog clippers (we do have a dog which is better than some of the random stuff we have)...pretty sure same sort of thing or am going to regret?

Well my hair is getting a little thinner at the back so this could be a good time to try shaving it, added bonus that if it looks terrible hardly anyone will see it!

There's probably going to be small birds and mammals living in my beard in the next week. I think i will be having some fun with the clippers soon.

I went 11 years once between haircuts. As it simply involves doing nothing it’s actually quite easy😊

I'm growing a lockdown beard now. I may revert to cutting my own hair again with clippers

Normally I'd be Grade 2 or 3 all over, but now I've not got to go to the office for a bit I'm Toying with a comedy Mohawk, just to entertain the family if nothing else...

I’ve got one of those weird circular Baylis hair cutters that you rub all over your head.

Wearing my Covid cut with pride, my hairdressers closed and going for shelf stacking.

I usually have a haircut every three weeks. It's been 6.

I'm getting to the point where I might trust Mrs Dubs to cut it...

I'm sure my son said yesterday that his mates are all doing grade 1 isolation cuts. The girls were upset at their insta posts apperently 😀 I offered him my clippers, but he said no!

Had mine done the week before lockdown (usual duration between previous cut rather than a panic cut) so OK for now, the barber mentioned a lot more customers had been in and they were having shorter-than-usual cuts (we both thought they were being silly, not so sure now!).

Cut mine at weekend and it looks better than the barbers effort. Although on the video conference this morning people were giggling when I turned.

Last time I went to the barbers was June 2012, about 3 days before my wedding. Prior to that I think I've went once or twice since 1997. I hate it, so do my own. I'm actually pretty good at blending now, or at least I think I am, most of it is behind me....

I might go the other way and wet-shave my head.

ok, so I bit the bullet, Mrs Dubs just had a go. Doesn't look awful from the front. Might get some s****s if people see the back...

We had a Facebook messenger video get together with some friends on Saturday night, the Mrs got pissed and decided she needed a haircut and set about her hair with a pair of kitchen scissors, very entertaining 😂

Had mine cut by the bloke down the road a couple of weeks ago, so as it’s pretty short, and very thin on top, I’ve taken to wearing a bandana just because I don’t have to worry about it for the foreseeable, if things go on as they are it can wait for several months.
The beard I’m perfectly capable of trimming myself with the appropriate trimmer.

Just did my lads down to about a no 2. His idea - he figured it will get a few s****s off his mates on insta and will have grown back by time he sees them again. Didn’t do a bad job actually even if I do say so - no way I’d trust him to do mine though!!!😂

Mines normally like this:

Dirk Benedict - IMDb

..but has grown to this:

Dirk Benedict/Templeton Peck - Dirk Benedict Photo (16556273) - Fanpop

..and I'm worried about the next 3 months.   Maybe this:

Dirk Benedict | Battlestar Galactica Wiki | Fandom

I cut mine last week, If anyone wants a supreme leader of North Korea give me a shout! Also it looks a bit young Adolf if I've had a hat on all day :/

My worry is if I chop the lot off I may be past the point of return! I'd have to grow the beard a bit and become an 'upside down head'
