OK, so this is a pretty trivial subject at this time of crisis and upheaval, but I am getting to the point where my crowning glory - or to be more accurate, grizzled French crop - is going to need some serious attention. I've never cut my own hair and am nervous as hell.
What are you lot planning to do? I am considering getting some electric clippers but am such a clumsy oaf that I will probably end up slicing the curtains in half, along with my own ear.

Yeah, my missus has been dying her own as well and it looks quite good in my opinion. Next week she’s going to try the hair on her head.
I know I should probably avoid replying to Boston but its 2 days in a row he made me burst out laughing so that alone deserves a thumbs up. I myself look like I have a 1970 afro at the moment with no relief in sight

If I don’t flatten my hair immediately after showering and before it dries, I would go through the day like the kid in school you always put up first to do the static hair experiment.

I'm with Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha who banned beards and hair over 2 inches long. He also banned religion.
For the record, such Stalinist antics have nothing to do with the Marxist attitude to religion. This is still relevant because of the anti-Muslim sentiments in force today.
'Engels frequently condemned the efforts of people who desired to be "more left" or "more revolutionary" than the Social-Democrats, to introduce into the programme of the workers' party an explicit proclamation of atheism, in the sense of declaring war on religion. Commenting in 1874 on the famous manifesto of the Blanquist fugitive Communards who were living in exile in London, Engels called their vociferous proclamation of war on religion a piece of stupidity, and stated that such a declaration of war was the best way to revive interest in religion and to prevent it from really dying out. Engels blamed the Blanquists for being unable to understand that only the class struggle of the working masses could, by comprehensively drawing the widest strata of the proletariat into conscious and revolutionary social practice, really free the oppressed masses from the yoke of religion, whereas to proclaim that war on religion was a political task of the workers' party was just anarchistic phrase-mongering. And in 1877, too, in his Anti-Dühring, while ruthlessly attacking the slightest concessions made by Dühring the philosopher to idealism and religion, Engels no less resolutely condemns Dühring's pseudo-revolutionary idea that religion should be prohibited in socialist society. To declare such a war on religion, Engels says, is to "out-Bismarck Bismarck", i.e., to repeat the folly of Bismarck's struggle against the clericals (the notorious "Struggle for Culture", Kulturkampf, i.e., the struggle Bismarck waged in the 1870s against the German Catholic party, the "Centre" party, by means of a police persecution of Catholicism). By this struggle Bismarck only stimulated the militant clericalism of the Catholics, and only injured the work of real culture, because he gave prominence to religious divisions rather than political divisions, and diverted the attention of some sections of the working class and of the other democratic elements away from the urgent tasks of the class and revolutionary struggle to the most superficial and false bourgeois anti-clericalism. Accusing the would-be ultra-revolutionary Dühring of wanting to repeat Bismarck's folly in another form, Engels insisted that the workers' party should have the ability to work patiently at the task of organising and educating the proletariat, which would lead to the dying out of religion, and not throw itself into the gamble of a political war on religion. This view has become part of the very essence of German Social-Democracy, which, for example, advocated freedom for the Jesuits, their admission into Germany, and the complete abandonment of police methods of combating any particular religion. "Religion is a private matter": this celebrated point in the Erfurt Programme (1891) summed up these political tactics of Social-Democracy.'
Note that: Up until the First World War most Marxists described themselves as Social-Democrats. Eugen Dühring was a professor and author of a number of works on philosophy, science and socialism.

I feel your pain. Mine is now the same. With help from the Mrs, a few weeks ago, I gave my hair and eyebrows their second tidy up since lockdown began, once more wimping out of giving the barnet a proper cut with my newly acquired electric clippers. They have bought me some time, though, and I may need to press them into service again very soon. I am having to use my ears as sort of flesh hairclips to keep my mane back and when I hit the snooze button on the alarm clock each morning, I move into my special "hair taming" position to try to squash all the unruly tufts.

Got a haircut yesterday evening. Stopped to buy adult beverages and noticed Mackie's barbers was open. The lovely Pam has once again restored my luscious glory.
There were a couple of awkward hair related moments on BBC Breakfast today. I'm sure your lives are far too interesting to have seen them.
Naga was relating how the average person's hair will have grown at least 1.5 inches in the last three months. She then turned to fellow presenter Charlie Stayt to ask him whether that was also his experience. This could be tricky, I thought, given that he either has the best hair in the world for a 57 year old - nice colour, even, luxuriant coverage - or he sports a syrup (not that I am criticising anyone who does). He mumbled a non-committal, defensive answer to try to fob her off, and the discussion moved on, only for the camera to then unexpectedly zoom in on his bonce. I suspect the crew were teasing him
Note to self: Must charge the clippers...
