Who has covid hair ?

I was overdue for a hair cut last Christmas. I blew it off, and rode into Covid looking pretty ragged.
Here I am , another X mas has passed, and still no haircut . I've trimmed it out of my face twice , and I am not very good at it.
So now I look like the guy from dumb and dumber .
I almost went over the weekend, but I did not .
I have not been out in public , for anything other than fuel, food, auto parts and building supplies for almost a year now .
I like seeing Clients stop in, who one year ago , were all clean cut, and professional . Now they roll in here looking like they are ready to audition for foghat .
Maybe I need to buy a flo bee, or learn how to do it myself . My wife won't.

Hasn't stopped me from going out.

My wife cuts my hair. She's gotten pretty good.

If I lived alone, I'd probably use the Wahl in the summer, and let it grow out in the winter.

Yep, I've had a Wahl for 30 years too, & hardly ever used it. My wife puts a #2 on it and goes to town on the sides and does the top with scissors. I now have to fight the women off.

No worries here. MrsWD cut about three inches off of it a couple of weeks ago. I look a lot like this again now.

I feel your pain.

About six cuts in 2020 by nurse barber friend in her Dad's garage.

Gotta beat the babes off with a stick. Stoplights. Dollar Tree. Aldi. Dollar General. It's annoying.

I've tried getting Mrs. Noah to cut my hair. She's terrible. Last time I handed her the clippers with no guard on. I had intended for her to do my sideburns. But no, she promptly went bzzzt up the back of my noggin. "Oh, I wasn't paying attention." WTF?!?! Never again.

Noah Jr has been smart to avoid the attempts of his mother to cut his hair. He was walking down the street this past week when some guy in a Fiat 500 (the OG one, like Luigi from Cars) pulled up next to him and implored, "Whatever they say, DON'T cut your hair," and promptly--though not rapidly--drove off.

No way, my haircutting lady said "screwthatmutherfuker" when Gavin Newsome ordered the second shutdown. So there are ways to stay clean cut and professional, if that's what you want to be.

I would get a haircut every month prior to Covid. Since then, I bought a trimmer and cut my own hair every month. No need to drive into town to get a haircut anymore. However, I try to see my barber every two months because I can't trim the back neckline very good.

I have a gal come over and cut my hair. I used to drive 8 miles to the salon but it turned out she lives half a mile away.

Wife told me I need a haircut, texted her on Tuesday but she has Covid.

Been a year since my last cut.

One advantage I have found is that the homeless no longer ask me for money! Win!

I had taken back a years worth of bottles and cans for deposit last week and a woman outside tried to give me her bottles too.

End of July was my last cut. It's very long now. When I tell my female friends I'm getting it cut they cry and say don't do it. Thinking February though.

Get a Wahl and live happily ever after.

Or grow it and be like Sniper. Strippers, mad monkey rollin’ skillz and cold steel katana optional.

You poke fun at Sniper, P-O-P, but you must admit that he had a pretty cool pad in that converted firehouse.
