I was finally brave enough to cut my husband’s hair. My first attempt was not good – clumpy might be a good word for it. So I looked up some how-to videos made by bored (but very helpful) hairdressers during lockdown. I then wielded comb and clippers with some confidence, with the result above. He seems happy with it.
I won’t let anyone have a go at my hair though. My hairdresser is hoping to open again on 4th July, but I don’t imagine that shielding will be over by then, so I won’t be getting an appointment for quite a while.
I last reported on my hair just a month ago, so here is an update, 11 weeks since I last had it cut. As predicted the fringe has now reached my eyes. It will be interesting to see how it falls in future.
What a gorgeous day today! I know I should be turning my attention to the General Election Review, the leadership timetable, and the general despair at the way Johnson and Trump have handled things – but it will have to wait until tomorrow.
So I’m cutting it short and off to sit in the sunshine.
Please note
We have been in full self-isolation since 16th March to protect my husband whose immune system is compromised.

Where has his right ear gone?
Only joking, not a bad job. Can you come round and do mine?
Hello Mary – thought it wasn’t so bad shaving mine all off at the beginning of lockdown (some was coming out anyway) but now I find that the grey third appears to grow back more quickly and is wavy and the dark two thirds appears to grow back more slowly and is straight!!!!
@Peter – not sure I can do a virtual trim…
@Ruth Bright – that was a courageous move! My 12 year old grandson also shaved all his hair off at the beginning, followed by his father. It does solve the problem in some ways.
