Excuse me for the slight off-topic, but in regards to hair: has anyone noticed that people are shaving their heads randomly more during the pandemic? Maybe just boredom. Or a desire to self-actualize during the lockdown. What a weird way for humanity to react to a crisis. I did it too.
- Moncefmd 6y agoFor me (and the vast majority of people I know that did it) it was just to avoid going to a real barbershop.
- xtracto 6y agoI think the reason is quite simple (it was for me): The alternatives are to let your hair grow wild, go to the barber and risk getting COVID, or have someone in your family trim it with the risk of looking terrible.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoAlternatively, plan ahead and marry a hairdresser ;)
- throwawayboise 6y agoYep I always just went to a walk-in barber shop. Now they are appointment only and I just started using a clipper. In 5 minutes I am done, $25 still in my pocket, and don't have to leave the house. I am probalby never using a barber shop again.
- LockAndLol 6y agoAre the barber shops allowed to operate where those people live? Are people allowed to travel all the way to whoever used to cut their hair? Shaving it all away is easy.

- Smithalicious 6y agoIsn't it simply that it's impossible to get a haircut, and shaving it off is something you can do by yourself easily?
- superbcarrot 6y agoIt's a mix of people having to cut their own hair for the first time and people who wondered what it would look like to shave it being able to do so with lower social risk during the pandemic.

- JMTQp8lwXL 6y agoAre we counting buzz cuts here? I did it very short, but not fully shaved. Prior to the pandemic, my last buzz cut was 15+ years prior.
