I was so lucky to have had a bob before the lock-down.

At least, now I am holding it back with the headband, I don't have a lot of odd bits poking out all over the place.

I think long hair grown longer may be easier to manage than short hair grown long. Mine is so thick and out of control I could double for the Dulux dog!!! :-( :-(

My hair is hanging halfway down my back.

I put it up into a pontail, twist it, and pin. A very messy bun. ;-) ;-)

Have to recommend these hairbands.

Do you remember how sophisticated they used to look in the sixties?

I look just like that!

No I don't , mine looks more like you see on those old ladies who wear sensible lac-ups at all times and tweed suits in August!

Tomas had quite long hair in one of the other lockdowns.

I think his must grow particularly fast.

Even Naga's is longer than usual, but I believe she cuts her own sometimes now.

Noticed that Tomaz (?) Easterneuropeanname, the weather forecaster, was looking a bit shaggy about the head the other night but I do wonder how come nobody else much on TV loos like they need shearing.

I had mine cut just before Christmas and now its down to my shoulders its so thick and wavy that its turning up at the ends, I am lucky I have kept my red hair so do not have to worry about dying it, but hope its not to long before I can get it cut :-D

I’m favouring the Old English sheep dog look at the moment :-0 :-S

I'm taking to standing facing the wind outside...keeps the hair out of my eyes.

Island .........ha ha!

It felt like a tennis ball.

Ah..... the full parting.

I loved having a shaven head.

Allan .........


that's the easy route!!!!

I also like to think of all the money I have saved by not colouring my hair ..........and I know my friend has blessed the money she has saved in the last 5 years!

I do like to have my hair short, but I also tend to only have it cut every 3-4 months anyway, instead of the 4-5 weeks that the hairdresser suggests to keep it at the same length.

I just shave my head :-D

OH has not dyed her hair for a few years now and it is a really beautiful natural silver colour :-)

I must be the only one here who hasn't fallen under the spell of the hairdo.

Think of the shoes you can buy with the money saved :-D

Crossing over from another thread..... Which side was your parting as a child?

I had very dark hair but started to go a bit grey in my forties and decided to colour it. Having been told not to match my normal colour as it would look harsh but to go a shade or two lighter I picked a nice shade of brown. I thought it looked pretty good. When OH saw it his comment was "It looks like red milk chocolate". I never coloured it again!

Right now it's silver grey and needs cutting. Too short to do anything with and too long to look tidy. Oh well, I'm not the only one in the country with scruffy hair.

Some years ago I went to one of those colour matching events. I was told in no uncertain terms NOT to die my hair but to let it carry on greying. The event was expensive but I have saved a lot of money since. :-D

I had mine cut last July, not been since, so it is getting down to over my collar, and my side fringe (bang over here) is into my eyes unless I spray some hair spray on it to keep it in place.

I decided to age gracefully, and just let my hair decide the colour. It is now white.

Sometimes letting your hair go grey or white makes you look younger than when you colour it. I have a friend who had coloured her hair from being in her late 40s. About 5 years ago she decided to get it cut very short and had the colour stripped out.

She was 70, but immediately looked at least 10 years younger! You wouldn't believe the compliments she got when she walked into the local coffee shop!! Even people who didn't really know her said how good she looked.

She has also been going to our hairdresser's regularly since they were allowed to open with restrictions last June, so her hair is nice and short.

I bought some hairdressing scissors in the first lockdown and my daughter cut my layers back in, she did a really good job. She isn’t here now though, so I have cut the fringe and sides myself. My trouble is that I can’t see a thing if I take my glasses off, but they get in the way at the sides. It is difficult looking in the mirror and chopping at the same time
