Today it’s been one year since I had a hair cut. Considering that I got my hair cut every four or five weeks, I’m thinking I saved enough money to almost cover my cross stitching supplies but I doubt Vince would view it that way.
I had an appointment scheduled for February but was in Missouri so I cancelled it and then by the time I got back and tried to make an appointment, the lady who cuts my hair was on vacation and then salons shut down and . . well, I wish I had gotten a hair cut during the brief time that Covid seemed to have slowed down a little.
I’ve been trimming it myself. Sometimes I cut it and think . . I’m doing a darned good job. The next time, I butcher it and keep trimming trying to improve upon the mess I’ve made. Of course, I can only trim what I see so the back . . well, let’s just say I’m looking pretty shaggy. I think ‘m just gong to let it grow and stop cutting it so at least IF I ever feel brave enough to get a real hair cut, there will be enough there to cut.

i had just gotten a cut in march 2020, and during the appt had decided to go with a different style. that would have been the day i also got a perm, so delayed it to the next appt which of course didn’t happen. my covid look has been a ponytail with straight hair on top and loose curls below the band. my hair is a visual guage of how long this lockdown has been going on. am looking forward to sitting in that chair once again.

I managed to sneak in one haircut when my old haridresser was able to open for a brief time. Drove 2 hours but it was worth it – got some layers trimmed up and my bangs fixed. at that time. Now I am back to pretending I can figure out how to trim bangs . I have gone from short hair to just below my shoulders in this time period……and my bangs are starting to drive me crazy again! Never could stand hair hanging over my face!

I don’t like to have my hair this long, but I am not risking my health to go to the salon. I have issues with my feet and used to get a pedicure monthly to keep my issues at bay. I have taken to try and tend to them myself, I have to be careful as I can make a bad issue worse. Thankfully I am doing ok, but they certainly can’t go into sandals! I even cancelled your eye doc appointment until I have my vaccine.

I have an appointment this week for an annual physical, though it’s been about 18 months since my last one. I don’t want to have bloodwork done til I’m back exercising and eating better. I’m not going to go have a mammogram yet so I’m not sure why I’m risking going to the doctor – probably because I made the appointment in September and figured this would all be over by now. I do think I’m going to cancel that appointment.

I had a cut on March 3, 2020 and decided to delay my hair coloring. Oops, I am no longer blonde. It got too shaggy for me and the coloring had grown out quite badly, so I got it cut by a new gal, who is alone in her shop (no other stylists or patrons), which I thought would be safer than my regular stylist, who has a busy salon. I had an appointment with her for a Tuesday in July, her slowest day, but she called me the Friday before and said she had been exposed the day before. That was enough for me to declare that I would never go back to her. I feel bad for her, but I am not risking my health, sorry. I am now my natural color, which I don’t mind. It had been so long since I was natural, that I didn’t know if I would like it or not, so I never tried to go natural. Thanks to covid, I no longer have to color it.

You’ll never see covid on my list of things I’m thankful for but it’s kinda like making lemonade out of lemons. I love doing the curbside pickup for groceries and I had always liked grocery shopping by myself but now, I don’t know that I’ll ever go back inside a grocery store. Walmart now delivers to our address for something like $12.95 per month. Once Vince is here and we’re using more groceries, I may do that.
I love that you’re happy with your natural hair color. I never colored mine though sometimes I was tempted but it has to be so much easier to not be doing it.
So glad you didn’t get exposed for a haircut. It’s so hard to know what to do.

Believe me it always grows back! As you know I have been cutting my own hair since I was about 14, so I am not scared by it. I do have a comb that has a razor built in it that I use on the very back so I can get it to lay down. Well as much as naturally curly hair lays down! LOL

i wear my hair short — get it cut about two inches long all over and it was the longest it has been since i was in junior high school (i am 66). could not stand the length soI placed masking tape on my hair where i wanted it cut and then let the 5 and 7 year old grands cut it at the edge of the tape. needs to be done again. it isn’t the same length all over but i don’t care what it looks like as long as it is off my head and out of my face. they loved it.

What a cute idea! I bet they told everyone they cut their grandma’s hair. That story will live on!
Twyla says
Great story. And one I bet they will remember when they are 66.
cindy says
unfortunately they are not around a lot of people, although the seven year old is back in school now. it needs cutting again so will probably let them do it again.
