What's yours like? Any disaster stories?

I dyed mine yesterday, I feel like a new woman! I'd love a trim but I'm definitely not cutting it myself.

There and to the left a bit

Am letting it grow out of curiosity as I usually have it cut short about every 6 weeks and have never let it go long - I have quite thick curly hair and am currently resembling a mad professor type look

I can imagine I'm going to save the cutting for my hairdresser if I can get an appointment after this. You will all be run off your feet.

Within three days of lockdown I clippered my hair (No.4 all over buzz cut), this after growing out a buzz cut a couple of years ago and regularly having it longer on top.

Three weeks later I'm ready to get a bit more creative and start mixing the buzz cutting lengths again....

Whats the worst that can happen? Lol

Exactly! Haha. When we all eventually get to socialise again there will be plenty of 'ffs what have you done to your hair' talks.

Mine has grown SO much since I've been able to get out in the sunshine...it desperately needs a cut!

I did my housemate's for him last weekend and accidentally held the clippers upside down, so he now has an all over 0.5cm clip. Oops.

I attempted to give myself a trim then once I started I realised how badly damaged my hair was due to constant bleaching.Took a shaver to it and it definitely isn’t a disaster i quite like it plus it’s made me realise I’m never using bleach on it again ....

I was going to dye my hair this caramel brown colour but I've chickened out, I've watched too many Brad Mondo videos recently.

So right now I'm just deep conditioning it frequently, it's the longest it's ever been and I'm tempted to trim it (I did trim the split ends) but too scared to.

Yeah, I watched a few. My hairdresser has told me if I do anything other than trim the split ends it's over between us, finding a good afro hairdresser is not easy, especially near me so I'm not going to.

I put a semi permanent dye on the other week to cover grey but my roots and hairline are much lighter cos of the grey and the rest of my hair is dark.

VERY tempted to buy an ink black dye and go back to my natural hair colour but that’s a permanent step and will show my grey more.

I shaved my head on Monday. I’ve had a number 3 all over for about 6 months anyway so I just took the guard off the clippers and honestly I think it looks decent. I may never go to a barbers again.

I'm quite lucky to have pretty thick hair so I can get away without cutting it for quite a while and the ends still look healthy. My red dye is no longer as vibrant but I can live with that until the hairdressers reopens. Hopefully by the time they do mine is back from maternity leave .

I was redecorating and part of it was me sanding down and dusting getting everywhere! Stupidly, I didn't cover my hair so resulted in the ends going all matted and horrible. I ended up cutting them off, about 4 inches I'd say, I now wear my hair up due to the uneven cut
