My hairdresser called last week to say she booked me in for the 13th. I’m thinking I might carry on letting my fringe grow out. I’m going to see what she thinks, she’s really really honest and I really value her opinion |

I actually turned down the offer of a hairdresser appointment for July when our stylist called the other day.
Apart from a longer fringe, which I can cut myself, it is manageable at the moment.
Seeing as I am only going out to Marks for the groceries I don't see the point in spending over a hundred pounds to sit at my home desk.
Are you getting used to yours now Swing? Although I doubt you have the energy to do it at the moment. |

"Are you getting used to yours now Swing? Although I doubt you have the energy to do it at the moment."
It's been at the point where I can throw it into a ponytail for a bit over a month now, which is all I ever used to do with it when it was long. It's in good condition because I've been gentle with it, although honestly I have no idea what I'm doing with hair.
Brush, ponytail, deep conditioner. Maybe I should learn to do something with it.
I've decided I was being paranoid about the grey for now.
My hair is uneven (it's an extremely overgrown bob ) but I'm not sure I'm ready to do things like the hairdresser anytime soon.
When I'm through my silicone heavy products I'm going back to accentuating my waves/curls. |

I have a under cut I manage anyway, but I've decided on short layers throughout to stop my frizziness and cut short at the back graduating down to my chin.
So It will all bounce back into defined curls again |

I'm happy enough! My roots are coming through but my hair looks better that way as it blends down into the blonde. I'll probably have it done towards the end of the year when everywhere has calmed down . *fingers crossed* |

Have you ever heard of the curly girl method? |

I was plopping, which is what I'm going to return to. I bought some stuff that isn't compatible with it (L'Oréal Great Lengths), so I'm working through that. It's helping keep my hair in better condition than it usually is when it's long.
When it's long enough to pineapple on non wash days I suspect I'll be able to do more with it.
Without plopping my hair is straight-ish, extremely gentle wave/ frizzy. When I plop it I get defined waves/ almost curls. |

My curls are loooong right now. I embraced the curly girl method a few weeks into lockdown with love and support from a couple of friends - shrinkage aside my hair has never been so full or healthy looking. And it's long, when I pull the curls at the back they go down to my bra strap. Right now I'm thinking I might have one more blow dry because I like that look... and then I might have a curly haircut and really see my curls pop. Undecided and checking reviews. |

I'm considering getting mine cut much shorter - it is MASSIVE and stupidly long.
It needs dying and just someone that knows what they're doing to make it less big |

It's a disaster!
I usually have it cut every four weeks
I veer from shaving it off to contemplating growing it long
Just depends on how long I have to wait x |

My hair is massive and stupidly long when it's properly long. I feel you.
At the moment it's like, just past my shoulder blades and I'm itching to grab the scissors already |

"Think my barber will be shielding anyway. But the hairs gone from nice and short and easy to manage, to thick, wavy and curly.
Think I’m gonna try to embrace it a bit longer. Although might need some tips to manage it ladies! "
Conditioner, be gentle when you brush it, and styling products (depends). |

Mines long, messy, very badly cut but I have got used to it and a FB asked me to stop wearing wax too so It’s just a total mess on my head, I get the trimmers out every few days and mess around , might do one side no.1 later if I’m bored |

Mine resembles a birds nest.
I used this conditioner stuff that was supposed to be grey...
It started off being a bit like a blue rinse verging on lilac and I now have a bit of a green tinge that’s dry and in desperate need of the return to blonde after washing it with bicarbonate of soda mixed with Head & Shoulders after consulting google.
I am a fuckwit and should have embraced the roots!
My hairdresser is going to be unimpressed. |

I need to book in to have mine thinned at the very least, usually have it done every 6 weeks and it's getting big again
My Bob is very out of shape, but I admit it has been easy to tie it back for work rather than style it. |

My hair is long, one length and it's my natural colour so it's the same old really.
My lover had to borrow clippers off a friend as he doesn't want to cut his own hair with scissors, so he's lost his little gelled up bit at the front but he's all fuzzy. |

"I was growing mine anyway and growing the fringe out ...even the split ends are minimal
I dye mine regularly and the split ends have become quite noticeable to me..can't wait to have it cut."
I'm just dying the roots atm... I'd be looking forward to a full head colour more than a hair cut |

I was growing it out and lockdown has helped to get it almost to where I want it. Probably could do with a little tidy up but not in a rush. Rather wait till hopefully hairdresser ppe won't be required. |

I’ve being growing my hair for the last couple of years; so won't be rushing to the hairdressers just yet. It’s now about 3 inches from my waist (mid back length) and hoping to reach waist by the end of the year. It’s in good condition with hardly any splits after ditching the high heat, chemical treatments, cones and sulphates. So only need a trim twice a year. |

"I havn't been to a hairdressers since september so I think I am way overdue.
Happily wait till the mad rush goes though"
Same. I'm going to wait at least a month past any changes before I try them myself |

Mine's grim. I (Mrs K ) usually have a bleached crop that is cut every 4 wks but it's now a brown, wavy mess. I had to dye it because the roots were so long and I had a mixture of grey, brown and bleached - I looked like a piebald pony! I've seriously considered shaving it all off but am going to hang on for a few more weeks. |

I'm a natural very fair blonde but I've dyed it bright red for so long I've just been doing it at home with the same stuff, no root bleaching required.
I have curly hair though and as I've not left the house, I've been embracing my Curls however they choose to appear that day.

I usually go for pixie cuts but unsure what to do with my hair now as it’s in the best condition it’s been in a long time due to be not using bleach
.I’m growing out my blonde and want to go with more a natural looking colour that’s more gentle to my hair when I start dyeing my hair again.
I’ve been toying with the idea of using wigs to protect my hair while it’s growing and to stop the temptation to use bleach .Has anyone used wigs and if so what’s your opinion on them?

It was new to me with curly girl (and yes that word!)
It's one of those things that's quite easy to try, use an old shirt or a microfibre towel (mine doesn't dry entirely that way. 40 minutes my arse). It takes my hair from a very gentle wave to a definite wave pattern. It's hit and miss for me but I don't have the right products, and I'm giving it a miss while I use up my very wrong products (silicone heavy) |

"How's your hair doing, as we approach the possibility of hairdressers reopening?
Are you changing it? Are you keeping it?"
Mine is the same as usual, and no I won't be changing it. It only gets a small (very small) trim every year or two anyway =) |

We have a mobile hairdresser so not sure when she will be getting out and about again.
But as it is i have low maintenance hair anyway. I have thrown it up in a ponytail and just trimmed the very ends and it felt much better so that’ll do me. |

I'd be interested to see what the hell my hairdresser will do with mine, I started the process of going rose gold the week before lockdown, but my hair took badly to the bleach stripping of the red so I've mostly been olaplexing and using a tinted oil mask, which has turned my hair bright pink, which I'm kind of enjoying. |
