Smokey2 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I considered going Kojak but I don't like lollipops so I gave up on that idea. I purchased a hair trimmer and luckily I only had to use it once before hairdressers and barbers where allowed to reopen for business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have been cutting my own hair for several years, I started after getting two bad hair cuts in a row. I have medium to long hair so I trim the hair around my face the way I want it. Then I comb my back hair forward over my face, I cut 3 inches off and then shape it into my front hair. Last month I cut it and then asked my husband to trim up any strays or jagged areas in the back. He comb through and said I had done a perfect job. My hair is pretty fine and thin so it is pretty easy to cut, we don't see anyone except strangers at the grocery store so I guess it really doesn't matter.

oldlady Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 denise, did you see the woman who was adamant about going out to her beauty salon and having a professional haircut because her roots were showing she was embarrassed by the thought of anyone seeing her that way. then she showed the top of her head to the national news camera and the person interviewing her said. "I see!" so did a few million other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcery Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Looked down the chimney a bit too close the other day, won't need a haircut till after the eyebrows grow back! Lol! Sorce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Been there, I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes in a sawdust explosion during a Raku glaze test in college. I had a bandana on and long gloves so my hair lost was minimal considering I was standing in a ball of fire. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Youch Denice, Not fun. Raku has never been a favorite of mine, especially throwing the heavily grogged clay, wore sores on my left hand as I throw narrow, and my hands would touch the inside walls at three points, stayed there all summer long. Also burned myself when the cable on the lift for the raku kiln broke and I unthinkingly grabbed to keep it from falling near another student, she was crouched and could not have moved out of the way. No not raku anymore. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not raku anymore. best, Pres Yeah, but with Raku, you get to play with FIRE! The Raku body I use, has a fairly light grog. I've never had any issues with it hurting my hands, nor have my students. Now, the main studio body I used in college, on the other hand! They added a lot of grog to that, to help with any potential shrinkage and cracking issues that are common with beginning students. It was great for the hand-building projects, but during wheel throwing, I had a permanent sore on the side of my hand, from the wheel head. It was like constantly resting my hand on a sanding disc. I kept putting Liquid Band-Aid on it, but it got worn away almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 When this post started I had just cut my hair, now my husband and I both need another haircut. I'd better give a try before I have my hand surgery. The number of people who tested positive for COVID has gone above 10 percent in our county so they are increasing the restrictions.

Mark C. Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I had mine cut professionally yesterday -our county is at level 4 the best it can get right . Level 1 is the worst and level 4 is the best. We all had masks on and I was the only client in shop. We all wear masks around here in this riral county and for us we stay home as much as we can. No vacation or needless trips. Some solo hikes in the distant woods away from any persons occasionally . To busy with clay now to do much of that. Gearing up for a pottety sale on Dec 11th 1st one and last one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Needing a haircut again, I don't think I can wait until my sister is here in October. Maybe after I get my second booster shot in February I'll try getting it professionally cut. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something very charming about a man that shaved his head. Super low maintenance and attractive. I hope that doesn’t come across as flirty, but it looks great on you.

Pyewackette Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I have not cut my hair since the 90s. However it mostly fell out/broke off while I was sick last March. It's just in the last couple of weeks stopped looking like Boris Johnson if he stuck his finger in a light socket (and if he were a brunette). I had very nearly given up hope. But the curl is back and its almost shoulder length again. It was down to my waist pre-health crash. Not all men look good with the bald thing. My son tried that early in the pandemic. I actually did not recognize him in the picture I saw. I kept trying to figure out who the crazy looking old man was playing with my grandson. NOT a good look for him, fortunately it doesn't seem like he will be going "naturally" bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Been a hat wearer for a very long time - keeps some of the sun off, reduces overhead light glare/bounce back from glasses. Sun can be serious. "Swim early or late, get a full body sun suit, or find another dermatologist. Choose now." Eye strain is a drag as well. At my last work (heh, "last" - retired now), the office manager said, "...never seen you without a hat." - that was year six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never would have shaved it if my hair hadn't gotten so thin up top, but I really don't miss having hair at all! No hat hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
