I have been trimming the fringe very unevenly.


My appointment is book for later in April too, Tiff.

I've been cutting my fringe, but nowhere else, so it's quite long now, but I don't mind too much.
I did a subtle colour about a month ago too, and I was quite pleased with it.

Re: Tips for coping with lockdown hair.

How far back on your head do you wear your headband, Carol?

I can’t see it at all in your second photo and wondered how secure it fits your head?

I could do with something like that as I have over 3 weeks to wait fo my hairdresser appointment.

I wear it just behind my ears. This picture shows it better.

Yes it's very secure - stays on all day no bother.

No - I wasn't aiming that remark at you LD.

I was thinking of men like my neighbour. Hair touching his shoulders but bald on top.

Mind you he's always been like that - even before lockdown. It's his style.

Thank you Mags. A few people have said they like it like that. I might not rush to have it cut..

Re: Tips for coping with lockdown hair.

I love the headband on you. It looks great. Another thing you may wish to experiment with are claw clips and barrettes. It’s nice having hair toys. It makes looking after hair more fun and interesting. Don’t rush to have it cut. You just might find you like longer hair. You sure have nice waves for it. I think shoulder length would look amazing but of course I’m long hair biased.

Re: Tips for coping with lockdown hair.

Thanks everybody.

It doesn't seem like many of you use hair headbands/slides/combs/grips.
It's good if you can cut your own fringe - I trim mine.

My friend Chris will not attempt any D.I.Y. efforts on her own hair. She is waiting for the hairdresser if it kills her! As a result she has straight & straggly grey hair in a side parting with what was the fringe held to one side with a single hairgrip. It looks awful but she's not bothered.

I just can't understand any woman who can't/won't do something her own hair!

She knows I think it looks awful and she agrees with me but just shrugs it off...

Maybe she is waiting for the stunning before and after pics! Some folk would just rather leave things to the trained professionals rather than attempt anything themselves. Which is fine, each to their own I suppose. When my fringe was longer (before I zapped it), I did use a hair clip to shove it out of my eyes, but I looked about 9 years old!
