We’ve discussed movies. The next topic is hair.

Going to be a lot of guys wearing man buns.

Stores now have shortages of hair dye and clippers.

We keep asking my youngest about when he is going to have enough for a Man Bun.

I normally shave my head since I’m bald. I’ve decided to grow out the sides and my wife hates it. She says it makes me look like an old man. I can actually feel the wind blowing through my hairs. Haven’t felt that in 15 years. 

That's really funny.

I didn’t feel like wearing a hat when I went for a walk. I got out the hair spray and went full Guido.

My son’s hair? Don’t get me started. I’ve learn to pick my battles, especially since I’m bald.😞

Kid was complaining about his hair when I mentioned that we own clippers- that same night he cut his own ( with a friend watching via face time, laughing her *** off). Last week my husband got fed up and had kid do his (buzzed with a #4). We are teasing son that with his skill set (glove relacing, hair cutting, cooking, and cleaning) he’ll be in high demand as a college housemate. 

I wouldn't dare let my wife do anything with my hair after she butchered my oldest daughter's bangs when she was elementary age.    It's almost as long as I had it in HS (graduated in '80).   In another month I'll be able to have enough to put it up in a pony tail.  

Same daughter works at Walmart and yes, all of the hair trimmers, etc are pretty much gone.

I do have a beard trimmer (haven't shaved in decades) so I do keep my beard trimmed.   It gets itchy when it gets long.

My hair is the longest it has ever been in my life - and I went to HS & college in the 70s so that’s saying something. My youngest son can’t stand it and is constantly bitching about how bad I need a haircut. The more complaining I hear the longer it’s gonna get.

So let him cut it or do the man bun like I suggested.

Ummm, what are 2 things that will never happen, Alex? 

I cut my own hair and trim my beard, but since I’m locked at home, I feel no reason to clean things up.  Allowing myself to let the beard go is a dream come true, so I’m taking advantage until I must go back to the office.

I am enjoying the "flow" as my kids call it. May need to go to the Mrs barber...ugh....do they still sell the flowbee?

Methinks we need to all embrace this as the perfect opportunity to bring the mullet back.

Ok, so someone shaved my head on the frontside making it look like I am losing my hair and then, dead center back of my head, did the same thing.

That site is legit terrifying.

My wife cuts my boys' hair (including the son nicknamed "Flow"). They love her haircutting.  They ask her to bring the clippers when she visits them at college.  Their friends line up to be next. But she refuses to touch my hair, well, not with a clippers, anyway.

For the first time ever, my hair is longer than my boys'.  They finally accept me for the  rock star that I am.

My wife used to cut my hair, but will not anymore. If I want it cut it is the number 2 trimmer. I am on the thin side and and have lost all my pigment, due to a condition called vitiago. When I was younger I had an olive complection. Now whote as a ghost. When I shave my head it looks like I am going through Chemo. 

One year for halloween at work I Shaved my head and dressed as a skeleton. Full on Make up. A few days after Halloween I was siting at my desk, And suddenly there was a burst of laughter. I look over and There is a VP talking to one of my co-workers. She was asking the co-worker when I started Chemo, and how bad was it. My Co-Wrkers got a big kick out of it. I was not offended. So no head shaving for me. Maybe a 3 comb on the clippers. 

However my wife hates cutting my hair. So it is a bit longer for now. 

We are letting it grow and i am not shaving. Working on my Covid-Kaczynski look.

I’ve tried to let my beard grow. After five or six days I can’t stand the itch. So, I decide to trim it back to a goatee. I get there and don’t stop. 

Mid November I got a #6 with an inch and a half on top. That was my last hair cut. I was a month overdue when mid March rolled around. The top is six inches now. 

My son had #2’s until college. My hair was always longer. He used to give me the line my father did, “Get a haircut you damn hippie!” He’s laughing at the current situation. 

I couldn’t take it anymore. I gave myself a haircut. I figured if I screwed up who was going to see it until I could get it cut right.

It looks good. Stylists pull hair up with a comb and cut above the comb. I put my hair between my fore and middle finger and sheared off the hair above my fingers with the sideburn trimmer on my razor. I lifted my fingers a half inch on the top. I checked it the way stylists do for evenness. It’s mostly even. At the grocery store I was asked what hair place is open.

I could save $25 doing my own hair. But it was annoying watching tv, running my fingers through my hair and running to the bathroom because I found an uneven spot to fix. I found five or six mostly in the back where it was hard to see.

Lots of hair gel is keeping me "presentable", a highly debatable word in my family.

I'm very fortunate as my wife cuts my hair on a regular basis when she has the time.  

She also grooms our Mini Golden Doodle so I have to share the scissors and electric razor with our dog.   I don't mind especially now, and I don't think the dog is picky either.  

How cute is that dog! Love golden Doodles!

My daughter is  licensed to cut hair, she hasn't in years but now getting her groove back with the family, which includes daily grooming of the 4lb. yorkie who looks like a hot mess and applying hot pink nail polish to their 90 pound pitbull.
