In much lighter news, I am glad I spent a lot of money getting my hair done on the last possible day, because otherwise I would be VERY TEMPTED to cut and/or color it myself.

I got my hair cut and colored at the beginning of March (are we all in agreement that the beginning of March was 107 DAYS AGO???) for our friends' wedding. I usually only get it colored in the spring and fall, so I'm good on color.

I just added a bleach kit to my Amazon subscription box (I have plenty of dye but I don't keep extra bleach around), and am probably 3-4 days away from asking DH to use clippers on the back and side of my head. I can go without a full cut for a while longer, but I usually go in to get the sides cleaned up evert 2 weeks.

I managed to get my hair cut before the salons closed down and I decided that my February dye job would be the last, so it was growing out anyway. I guess I picked the right time to stop having my hair colored ... no hair color, no more cuts, no styling, no makeup ... I may be going feral. grrr

Yeah, I'd been wondering about the best way to transition from my pixie cut to a short bob. Turns out the answer is: pandemic and stay-at-home orders.

Honestly, I would have been happy to just get some barrettes.

My sister's hair stylist sent an email to her clients asking them to please resist the temptation to buy color at the grocery store or trim themselves "because I can't fix that shit". Suggested the best way to hide the roots was staying at home.

I'm hearing more people clamoring for antibody tests because they are pretty sure, for good reason, that they already recovered from the illness. I don't necessarily think my household is in that category unless it was super mild, but I do know some people that very likely did get it and recovered after being damn sick at home. A couple of them healthcare workers. It would be really helpful to know for sure.

I've seen some things on the internet where people have cut and/or colored their own hair. Good, bad, odd ... the only consolation is that they're not likely to be seen, so it's a good time for it.

In other news, seemingly, pajama bottoms are selling well - people are doing online meetings, so they only need to have nice tops. Kind of like a clothing mullet?

I've been coloring my own hair for the past 25 years, and it's pretty hard to screw up cutting with clippers. (DH already trims his own beard and shaves his head, so I know he has a steady hand.)

I would never try to trim anything other than my bangs, because I am a klutz. But trimming your bangs isn't difficult; watch some YouTube tutorials. The most important part is to just trim a tiny amount, then evaluate, then trim another tiny amount if needed, then re-evaluate, etc.

There will be no haircutting or coloring in our house. ltc might end up with the long hair she wants so badly and possibly no more bangs. I did not have my hair done before this all started. So, my hair is already a mess.

It occurred to me ... I wash my groceries when I bring them home (except the precious, precious toilet paper) and when I wake up I have mascara rings under my eyes ... am I a raccoon now?

I got Matthew to buzz the back and sides of my hair because it was too long and driving me nuts. Except he got nervous about some of it so now I have this weird fringe under the longer part of my hair. As long as it is now I can tuck it under my ears, well except for a little. Unfortunately my hair has decided to part down the middle all the time it's kind of 90s boy band look..I swear there was somekn with hair like this.
