These are worrying times for those interested in personal grooming. I have noticed an increase in shaved heads among men, but what are those of us with longer tresses to do without our regular trim, or even wash and blow dry? Shall we all look like Struwwelpeter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter I am watching TV presenters closely for signs of home barbering.
-
I had a couple of goes at OHs locks. They're improved, but still need a bit more trimming.
(disclaimer - when we had less money, I used to cut everyones hair . . OH, 4 kids and my own (tricky, and impossible with aging bones etc)
-
Anent home-barbering, there's only a fortnight between a good haircut & a bad one. Wear a hat! ;D

Pony tail or French pleat, anyone? I'm talking to female chatters, here. No man buns or bun tails, if you can possibly avoid it, men. It's really not a good look. ::)
-
I trimmed my fairly short hair last week, keeping to the general shape of it, using my embroidery scissors - Sewing Devils - and managed OK. Just kept combing sections, holding the section and snipping into the overhang. Couldn't manage much round the back. Only took off the ends, carefully. Once I'd washed it and used the tongs to curl under the layered ends, it felt and looked OK. I usually visit the hairdresser every 4 weeks and think I will repeat my home trim every 2 weeks, just taking a little off, rather than a bigger chunk less often.
OH was due a haircut at the start of lockdown (locks-down ;)) so is well overdue but strangely, he doesn't trust me with sharp scissors near his ears.......
-
My old barber used to say that under every pony's tail is a horses-arse! No doubt the loss of trade coloured his view! ;D
Skoosh.
-
OH would let me trim his already slightly over-long locks, - but I simply dare not. I know I'd make a mess of it. I've offered to plait it for him if the lockdown goes on for months...and months.
Mine will simply regress to hairpins by the hundred, as it used to do ( thank goodness I never threw them all away).
-
Love it Skoosh! ;D ;D
My hair is long and naturally straight so I don't really need to do anything other than trim my fringe, which I did a few days ago. :)
-
Now I like Man buns,the two gardener brothers,on TV,one has one.
And pony tails for men.
Think of a Dick Turpin ,black bow at the base of the pony tail.
I am gradually getting used to the shaved up one side thick on top look .
Had mine cut very short ,so I look ,as used to be said in days of yore, as if I have just been let out of an institution.

I was due a visit to the hairdressers just before lockdown. I had a go at my fringe the other day, it turned out a bit wonky but I have sorted it now. I now need to have a go at the rest. I think I will end up looking like Cousin It from the Addams Family if we're not let out soon ;D

I am taking this opportunity to grow my rapidly vanishing hair. Unfortunately when my hair gets too long I take on the appearance of Freddie Boswell in Bread, consequently I have never had really long hair, even when it was in fashion. So here we go!!.
However, there are objections coming from the direction of the settee. I am now described in terms such as "you look fluffy"...……. mmm?.

Hairpins!

Hairpins!
Is it possible to still buy hairnets?. ::)

Oh, yes! Had to get some for an old lady recently. Maybe a snood, like 1940s filmstars used to wear. Quite glam. Google "snood in 1940s films" and you'll see what I mean. Can't get the picture to copy, sorry.

Sarah cut my hair on Sunday.
I happened to have seen my Barber (Nino) on the way back from our "Click and Collect", so I pulled over and kept a generous distance from him to have a natter with him. I told him that I was very overdue a haircut as it was an he gave me tips on how Sarah could cut my hair.
It was really great to talk to him. He really missed his customers. He misses talking. So I was glad that I stopped.
So going home, I put a chair out in the back, and Sarah was armed an dangerous with my beard clippers in hand, and she cut my hair according to Nino's instructions that I relayed to her as best as I could remember. I must have remembered alright, and combined with Sarah's natural amazingness (hey, I married the gal), my hair looks great!
Nino is going to get a good tip next time I get my hair cut by him. In the mean time, I'm so lucky to have Sarah by my side (well - both sides, and back - for my 'short back and sides').

I cut part of my fringe today - the bit in the middle so that I could see. I was lucky that I had mine cut a couple of days before the lockdown. Mr G didn't so I am going to get the scissors out tomorrow.
When we lived in the Highlands, I cut it quite often but I've not attempted a cut for about 15 years :-X
-
I gave my husband a "trim". It looks fine and anyway no-one will see him for weeks while we wait it out!
My mother used to wear her hair in a turban as they did in wartime, I might try that!

I have loads of hairpins, both slender ones and sturdier ones, from the decades when my hair was very long, and spent most of its time twisted up in knots, held in place with pins.
Then I had it cut.
It's stayed like that for years, OH prefers it - as I've never used a hairdryer, he always has said it took me a whole evening to let it dry..... but if we're isolated and cut-less for long enough, I'll get those pins out again...
Just one problem: They're all bronze, and my hair is .... ah.... greyer now!
Hmmmn :-\

I have a resident Santa Claus for Easter! :D He does have the jolly face for it and we've been there, done that before but he's now three weeks over his more regular 4 weekly hair and beard trim.
Lady Godiva me ::) Very long time since I've sat in a chair at the hairdressers, and a while since I've trimmed the ends myself. Au naturel ( not nude meaning really ;)) ... silver threads among the sunkissed gold and naturally wavy, particularly when left out to dry and then soft crimps, when shorter would probably sometimes look like image 1st post, quite fine but a lot of it. Don't wear loose while out much these days, always get comments on how long it is when I do, usually twisted up any which way and reasonably easy care ... that's me, mare :)

I have read on the net that there is now a shortage of hairdressing scissors for those hoping to buy them online. Back to the nailscissors, then. :D
-
Sounds really nice,mine too was thick and shiny, very dark brown, but not quite black ..so straight ,it defied perms etc.
Down to almost my waist, but for practical purposes in a French pleat.
We were allowed a dance and could bring boy friends when in the sixth form.
Had to organise it ourselves.
I had quite a long way home to go ,no time to wash and dry my hair(no home hairdryers in those far off days).
Some time previously I had some cut off ,and for some reason wound it round Mum’s curlers.
I had the brilliant idea of fastening my hair back tightly and pinning the curled hair to it.
It looked good.
Back at school and dancing with my boy friend ,he said” Is that one of
yours?”- and there in the floor was an almost black curl,then we saw another,and another.
Off to the cloakroom with a girlfriend for repairs.!
I still have some of those curls and a thick plait too,
It now is still pretty dark but some silver in it too ,not as thick because I have an under active Thyroid ,so hair quite a lot thinner..
I have never dyed it ,I was just glad to have some when it thinned !
Had it cut very short just before lockdown.
Nice when hairdresser has done it but now ,done by me?
Fourpenny all off !
I cannot understand girlsSTRAIGHTENING lovely curls and waves.
Daft!

Many years ago my daughter, who has naturally curly hair, decided to straighten it. Of course the inevitable question came, "What do you think dad, do you like it?".
Suitably unimpressed with the answer she went off in a huff to her room and, needless to say, it has never been straightened since!.
:)
-
Hair that's been straightened always looks a bit sad and feeble to me.
-
I have short hair and hate it when it gets 'long and thick' so have it trimmed every 5 weeks. At the beginning of this, I went and bought a cheap electric corded razor set and have used it twice. I started with a number 5 comb and followed the lines of my haridressers cut. It wasn't too bad though the back thickness near my neck was a problem. I got my husband to use scissors to trim the back hairline.
This week I decided to tackle the thick back bits and went down to a number 3 comb. This worked better and now I feel I can manage with it not driving me nuts, but I have to say I'm looking forward to a proper haircut as soon as we are allowed.
Like someone else said, I'm going to try and keep on top of it so it doesn't get too thick or long again.
-
You sound so brave. I can and do tackle most things, but I've never had the confidence even to trim hair. Ridiculous, I suppose - what'd be the worst that could happen? Hair grows. But I dare not try it on self or OH. We'll be hairy monsters by the time Hairdressers are released..... In a few more weeks, two amiable haystacks wandering down the road in search of a mowing machine?
-
I'll be doing my husbands next week , though may use the scissors more than the razor thing with his. He's err a bit thin on top already lol. :) Main thing with his, is to check he takes his hearing aids out first, or I might cut the little plastic tubes!
-
I've remembered have a few wigs from years ago, I might try them again. Different colour now though!
rayard.

I too had an appointment for just after lockdown that was cancelled. I have a pair of hairdressing scissors [with thinning scissors too] which I bought for sons' hair in the 1970s & have done Mr Josey's for 30 years. Scissors have amazingly never needed sharpening.
My 1st post lockdown trim was a joint effort, a moderate success. I did the fringe, trying a layering technique, Mr J did the back [straight across please I said]. So far so good, next trim which could be due soon will start the rot I think as layers cannot be achieved all through.
-
I wouldn't dream of cutting my own hair, I had perms up until my hair started to break, so it is now straight, which means I have to put rollers in my hair every night, only night I get away with it is the night before I am due to wash it, overdue trim due to lockdown, goodness knows how I will manage if this situation lasts much longer, but it is a small thing to suffer in the scheme of things

I posted this to another thread, but should have looked for this one...
I have cut my own hair this past week. I have short hair and a pair of hairdressing scissors, so it wasn't too difficult. I used to cut my own hair back when I was young with very long straight hair and a fringe. My mum would just fix the back to make sure it was straight (I let her cut my fringe once - never again LOL).
I used to cut my husband's hair all the time. I actually got pretty good at it!
Kudos to Gillg on the nail scissors though. You are brave!
Cheers all

My hair has been long since I was 18. I hadn't had it cut for a few months when lockdown was announced. It was well overdue a cut, getting quite straggly with more than a few split ends.
I looked up online how to cut long hair, and thought the pony tail method sounded easy enough. I asked my husband to cut it, assuring him that I wouldn't be cross with him if it went wrong.
I could have cried. It was now shorter than it was when I was a child. Very straight with no layers at the back, much longer at the front. In his attempt to rectify matters he cut the front hair further, which ended up shorter than the back.
However, nobody sees it except the two of us, and it is growing again quite quickly. I had a pre cancerous skin lesion removed a few years ago, since then I have worn sun cream, sun hat, long sleeves, full length trousers etc between April and October, or when UV index above 3.
The problem is, what to do with it next. Do I trust him with a trim if it needs one?
Regards Margaret
-
Now I always think long hair is easier,you can pony tail it and wind it into a bun” chignon”,French pleat, etc.
I had a fourpenny all off just the day before lockdown.
Very smart after the hairdresser had blown it dry ,but now I am having to do it myself it looks very severe and flat and boring and institutional!
The front has a mind of its own, STRAIGHT, and falls down to my left eye.
As it is still dark and I have very dark eyes I am gradually bearing more than a passing resemblance to Hitler!
I think there are already rumours going around our town he has been seen walking in the cemetery and gardening at a house not far away!
I am just glad I have some as I lost a lot pre Under active thyroid diagnosis
when it thinned alarmingly.
Not bad now just so darned straight and with a mind of its own.
Ah well, it is a small selfish problem,so I am telling myself .
My daughter has Pernicious Anaemia pretty bad.
Needs monthly injections of B12 .
Her Dr,s surgery phoned to say it was too risky to give it to her .
Now whether that is her having to go to the surgery or something else don’t know.When she needs it it is very obvious, can’t concentrate, drops things, is not fit to drive , has strange sensations in her arms and legs .
Used to be three monthly but that is now not enough ,and she has a battle on her hands looming , to do with her business which is in lockdown ,whilst others are not.
She did the right thing but seems now to have a price to pay ,she will need all her wits about her to battle through this. A meeting has been organised via computers etc.
I have suggested she get her Dr.to say she will be in no fit state to deal with
it all until she’s had the B12 ,and that will not be until safe for her to have it.
She needs to speak with Dr direct, the message was from a receptionist.
Lovely day again, I might tackle the garden shed.
Fridge nearly empty so a good wash out ready for Tesco delivery on Tuesday, I have a Wednesday in my disordered mind for some unknown reason.
Neighbour gave me a Lavender plant ,yesterday, had ordered 8 mixed,but disappointed
when 4 of those and 4 others,all the same came.
I gave him a healthy cutting that had rooted very well from my flowering currant,and some violets ,a few weeks back ,so he kindly gave me a spare lavender.
The grey/green foliage goes well with my Cumberland slate chippings .
Cheerio, the goldfish in the pond will think I have forgotten them.

The Remington hair-cutters I ordered online have been somewhat delayed in arriving due to the flight situation from Hong Kong. Maybe I should search for a second-hand fiddle meantime! ;D

You could always try using pinking shears and set a new trend. I not sure they are still around though.

I love reading everyone's exploits into hair cutting!
It reminded me of when I was younger and my hair was long and straight... I could sit on it! When I met my OH some 55+ years ago he said it was my lovely honey blonde long hair that first attracted him to me!
After a few years I decided to have it cut short and was due to meet up with him afterwards, I hadn't told him what I was intending to do... well after I'd had it cut off I immediately regretted it as I felt like one of those nodding dogs you see in the back of car windows and very light headed.... anyway I waited for him at the agreed place only to see him walk straight past me... he hadn't recognised me.😱😱
Nowadays my hair is a little longer and I've always kept the colour ( via a bottle over last few years) now not being able to get to the hairdressers it is gradually reverting to the proper colour... sort of light grey... it's terrifying and I can't wait to go back and have it recoloured!
As for cutting I don't think I'm going to do that as I'd ruin the good cut my hairdresser gives me... it can just grow and I'll pin it up, wear those hair clip things ...
OH keeps mentioning about me cutting his... not keen I have to say, I domuse his trimmer to deal with the back neck and side tomtidy him up but all over I don't think so!
Oh well at least we can hide away for now at least!
Good luck to all those who are attempting to theirs and their partners!

Viktoria, you say 'My daughter has Pernicious Anaemia pretty bad.
Needs monthly injections of B12 .
Her Dr,s surgery phoned to say it was too risky to give it to her'.
This is essential treatment, the sort of thing the government is pleading with us to have done. It may not be a heart attack or a stroke, but long term effects of not having it are extremely serious, as I am sure you both know.
Risks would be minimal, I would have thought.
I enrolled on a drug trial before this kicked off, had one appointment and injection. Trial now temporarily suspended, but it would have involved half hour or so in close contact, blood taking and further injection, quite risky for nurse and patient.
A quick injection with no need to talk for more than a few minutes, both nurse and patient with masks on, is another matter entirely.
I would be inclned to put some pressure on, may work, may not.
Regards Margaret

My mother has her B12 every 8 weeks and her GP's surgery still gave it last week - she was a little overdue as she had broken her ankle and we couldn't get her there when she was in plaster. We tried getting a nurse to come out but they wouldn't do that, but there was no problem going to the surgery. She goes downhill really quickly without it, so she had to have it.
Maybe you need to push them a bit? It's not fair for her to suffer.
-
I agree and my daughter is getting more anxious as time goes on .
It is actually dangerous not to have it, the fact she needs it monthly tells you something.
The number of times pre diagnosis she has had to phone as she knew she was not fit to drive and was working away from home,- Notts- but needing to be back here .
She would phone us her family but then two people had to go,one to drive her and her car back and another to drive the “ rescue “ car back.
It is in my mother’s family and my father’s grandmother had it and my husband’s mother too.
My daughter is however the only one in her generation to have it .
Very frightening to stand at the roadside in strange pain ,inarticulate and yet dangerous to stay in her vehicle., waiting a couple of hours to be picked up.
No warning of the symptoms.She ended up calling emergency services as the attacks got worse,pre diagnosis.She had to do it before she became unable to speak clearly.
Thanks, you have stiffened my resolve ,but she too is curious as to why it should be thought the lesser of two risks to miss her injection.
Her blood cells are deformed and do not pass along smaller blood vessels easily.The complications are debatably much worse than the risk of getting Corona Virus if all precautions are observed.
She is a fighter and will get it sorted ,I am sure , but what unnecessary hassle.
Thanks again both of you.
VIKTORIA.-I am in fighting mood!
P.S
Is fine when injections regular but is going downhill already ,as time comes around for her next one.
She has to act whilst she still can.V
-
Good, Viktoria. If your daughter is beginning to deteriorate already, after only 4 weeks, she really needs it.
Any chance she could self administer it?
If not, Go in fighting!
Regards Margaret
-
Go in fighting!
You'll have the rootschat army behind you, Viktoria. I agree with the others, you & your daughter must push.
-
Completely agree, your daughter needs to push it Viktoria.
The problem is, what to do with it next. Do I trust him with a trim if it needs one?
Regards Margaret
No!!! As you said, no-one sees it but the two of you, I'd hang out for a hairdresser! If you have a fringe that needs cutting you could trim that yourself but if I was you I wouldn't trust the husband and scissors combination again.
-
Just looked it up and it is Government advice,well The Pernicious Anaemia Society are of course up in arms about it.
They are seemingly contesting it with The Government.
It is a complicated picture as the immune system is compromised with PA.
She has Psoriasis,Granuloma Annuli , both when the body is attacking itself.
It is the nerve damage and distorted blood cells that are also dangerous.
Well come the morning ,and she will start to sort it out.
Thanks for your support.
Viktoria.
-
My daughter contacted the Dr today,he won’t budge as it is a Govetnment Directive.
It would appear that there is some confusion between Pernicious Anaemia
and simple lack of B12, they are not the same thing.
Lack of B12 can be helped by taking B12 orally ,but Pernicious Anaemia has the added problem that the Intrinsic Factor in the stomach has been destroyed,so B12 cannot be assimilated that way.
Over use of antacids and indigestion remedies can kill the Intrinsic Factor .
Hopefully The Pernicious Anaemia Society will be able to get it sorted.
Viktoria.
Washed and did my own hair this morning ,using those spikey rollers that need no little pins to anchor them.
Not bad but by the timeI have slept on it! ::)
Never mind big delivery from Tesco tomorrow.
Just off the phone from my daughter so off to wash out the fridge -again- !
Cheerio,folks,hope all is well with everyone.

Oh dear - it's cruel! People are becoming ill for no real reason. I hope the society will have a good result for you soon.

My daughter contacted the Dr today,he won’t budge as it is a Govetnment Directive.
Viktoria, I wonder if it's possible for you or your daughter to find the actual government directive online? The reason I ask is because a few years ago the nurse at my GP surgery was reluctant to give me the flu jab as she said I hadn't been diagnosed as asthmatic. I pointed out to her that the doctor had been prescribing inhalers to me for umpteen years and although she said it didn't say in the actual words on my notes that I was asthmatic, she did agree to give me it. She was referring to the guidance that they receive. I was so annoyed that when I came home I looked for and found it online and it didn't actually say what she was reading it to mean. And as soon as I contacted the doctor about it he added the diagnosis to my notes.
Some documents are open to the interpretation of the reader and if you can gain access to it, it might give some clarification. Good luck.

Hi Viktoria
The latest news on the PAS website that Rosie99 referred to says that the Guidelines were changed on 24th April:
https://pernicious-anaemia-society.org/pernicious-anaemia/bsh-guidance-on-b12-changed/
Surgeries can give the injections needed.

Many thanks to everyone .
I have forwarded the article to my daughter.
She also has compromised Folic Acid levels which doesn’t help.
I wonder if the sub lingual lozenges would also help as the membrane under the tongue can absorb B12 whilst the stomach can’t because there is no intrinsic factor with Pernicious Anaemia.
I am truly grateful, Thankyou everyone who has given such good advice.
I am now wondering why her Drs, Surgery has not contacted her as surely they will have been notified and the change was in April .
My info cane frim Tge Pernicious Anaemia Society page where it says it was a Government directive,more for protection of those giving the injections than to protect patients from Covid 19.
I willlet you know what transpires.
Viktoria.
P.S,I can’t find the original article by P.A.S.where it stated it was a Government Directive ,but it has perhaps been removed as there seems to have been a turnabout and new guidelines issued on April 26 th.
It is looking better,so let’s hope she gets it sorted.
Thanks again everyone ,so much help from you.

Rosie, were you informed you could not have the injections?
If so have you since been informed you could have them.?
I wonder if it is at the GP’s discretion?

is in Suffolk..
Many thanks

I have not tried yet Viktoria, I normally have them 3 monthly and it is due now I just have not got round to contacting them. My GP normally does it and I book online but I have got to ring or email so I am trying to time it that I am not out with the dog if they have to ring back ::). I am in Surrey

Thanks, is that your dog in the photograph?
Hopefully before too long I will be saying a” I am off to walk the dog”

Yes that is my dog as a puppy, he is now 11. Hope you are able to get your dog soon. :)

Just to follow up on B12 jabs I contacted the surgery yesterday by email and was told to come in this morning. I went in and my GP administered the injection as usual. ;D

Hi rosie99 that's great news ;D
Let's hope Viktoria's daughter is successful too.

I hope that Viktorias daughter manages to get them too. I certainly did not have a problem and the surgery was virtually empty just one other person waiting to see someone else.
Now to settle down to VE day, the red arrows flew over earlier I nearly missed them ;D

My daughter was due her 3 month venesection appointment which requires a blood test 1 week before but was told these appointments are not going ahead at the moment. Her iron levels are at the low end of the scale for hemochromatosis so they will likely sort out what seem to be more urgent cases first.
OH got his 3 month bloods done (to do with medication) at local surgery yesterday morning (doctor's appointment done last week by telephone). Appointment made last week (nurse only doing 2 days rather than 5), rang doorbell at allotted time, door was unlocked & he was admitted (only 1 adult allowed in and if another patient already in then you have to wait outside). While he were waiting a man came up to door and tried to get in. I explained current procedure and pointed to all the notices on the door/window (for prescriptions phone to order or re-order then collect direct from chemist- there's only one chemist here so not difficult to figure out where to go). He just looked at me like I was crazy and still tried to get in...
-
Thankyou Rosie and everyone else,I am very grateful
Rosie do you mind if I forward your post to my daughter if possible?
She can then ,if needs be send it to her Dr. So I need your permission for that too .
To date, well this morning at 10 -30 she had heard nothing but Bank Holiday .
If it is there for Monday things may start moving.
However I do understand if anyone would not want me to forward things,but at least we know it is possible to do.
I will respect your decisions, just off to telephone my daughter.
She will be at home today and having a rest from technology etc
Sincere thanks again.
Viktoria.

Of course you can forward it to your daughter Viktoria. Hopefully your daughters GP will have sufficient staff & PPE to change their policies on this.

Many thanks .
I will let you know how she gets on.

Re: hair
Hubby has really thick curly hair if left unchecked.
When he got to the stage where he looked like he had a burst cushion stuck on the top of his head I took the clippers to it.
Not ever going to get a queue for my hairdressing skills but its a lot better :-)
Re: B12 I had my 8 week desperately needed one just after lockdown, no problems at my surgery.
Am crossing my fingers for the next one which will be due soon. If I don't get it I (as I know from dire experience) will cease to function on many levels, but will not worry until and unless I have a problem.

My hair is in some sort of shape.
What exactly I am not prepared to divulge ::)
But not bothered ,there are more important things to think about,like
ought I to tackle the utility room blinds or make new bedding and curtains with pretty material I have had for a long time.?
I set myself the tasks as soon as shutdown started, but I have never been in long enough,the pull of the wild— well my sunny garden!
The birdsong was wonderful today.
Then a raucous sound and some frantic tweeting, I think it was a nest robbing bird and frantic parents.
No one here was singing with Vera Lynn this evening, I had it ready on the iPad,but no one came outside.
Captain Tom was marvellous on TV this evening, so young too when he was
seeing action.
Keep well everyone.
