Afraid to get a haircut?

[bill epstein]

Me too.

If the gloomier predictions come to pass, I'll look like my college picture again.

Except it's all white, now.

[Bruce Page]

Funny, I’ve been thinking about the problem too. I might end up with a DIY 1950’s butch haircut, like my mom used to give me!:eek:

I long since learned how to give myself brush cuts. If that makes me look scarier walking down the street, well okay. Klaus Kinski on shore leave, laughing at the cracks in the sidewalk. I do fall over occasionally.

I was planning getting my hair cut Thursday but they closed the shops Wednesday. My son got his cut as it was being announced he heard it when he was sitting in the chair.

[Zachary Hoyt]

I've been cutting my own hair for at least a decade. I keep it buzzed off pretty short and it's easy to do with two mirrors, one on the wall and one in my hand so I can see the back of my neck.

I also cut my own now for many years. But it doesn't matter since barber shops and hair salons are now closed throughout PA along with all other non-essential businesses.

Does that explain the ever present ball cap? :D

I guess longer styles will be coming back, at least for a while.

[Clark Hussey]

In New York State. You are s.o.l. As all barbershops, salons, have been ordered closed

[Erik Loza]

Funny: My wife and I were just talking about this. I'm due for a haircut and actually think our salon is open but I'm not going anywhere near that place for a while. I prefer neatly trimmed but she always tells me she likes it longer, so I guess she's going to win this one.

Fortunately, I had a haircut last week. I would not go today.

A hair cut is not just a need for "social appearances" but for me, if the hair over my cochlear implant gets too long, the antenna/coil which is held on to the under the scalp implant by 2 rare earth magnets ( one on the antenna and one on the implant) won't stay on. Thus I constantly have to fight a battle to regain my hearing after the antenna pops off. Thus my hair may get longer but I will use a trimmer to shorten the hair over my implant. With my wife out of the town for the foreseeable future, that task may result in an UGLY coiffure on my head!:eek::rolleyes::D

Some of us don't have a choice. Here in WA all Barbers and Salons have been closed by order of the governor.

[Jim Becker]

Ken, you would be adorable in a mohawk...especially one with a bit of color. Wouldn't the "boss" be so surprised when she returns!! ROFLOL

Paul, I do tend to wear a "ball cap" frequently, but it's more about sun and rain. While I cut my hair pretty short at this point (1.5mm on the clipper) it used to be about 10-12 inches down my back in a ponytail...or when not in a ponytail, it looked something like this:

[Nicholas Lawrence]

Need one, but with five kids depending on me it would be a foolish and unnecessary thing to do. If it gets bad enough, I will have my wife have a go. Worst case scenario it will grow back.

With the 4" part I am developing centered on my head, either one of these cuts aren't an option.

[Michael Weber]

Stopped going to barbers 40 years ago. Wife cut it for 20 years then she up and stopped doing it. Went to a "RoboCut". Possibly looks like crap sometimes but I don't care. Got nothing on top anyway.

[Frank Drackman]

I have been using the RoboCut for over twenty years. I'm under $0.50 per haircut.

Just don't update your picture here on SMC.

I think it's the baseball caps that cause balding.
Almost every guy I know who's bald or balding wears a baseball cap. :rolleyes:

As you can see from the scary photo I posted above...my hair was still farther back on my head even when longer in the back. :) I think that hats are something of a habit we can get into...a "comfort" item, if you will. It's also an identifier in some respects...mine almost has a particular college logo on it. This is all over top of helping to keep sun and precipitation at bay, of course. :)
