Regularly for the past few years, Sam, my friend's grandson's partner, has come to my house in order to cut my hair. She's an excellent hairdresser. Unfortunately during lockdown Sam has been unable to make any visits. Consequently my hair grew longer and longer,unti my fringe obscured my eyes like a sheepdog, while the hair at the sides lay long, limp and lifeless.So what's a person to do? I decided to ask my husband Burt to cut my hair (Risky I know, but I reasoned by the time I was able to emerge from the house it would probably have grown back.) Anyway in all fairness to Burt it wasn't too bad. It wasn't up to Sam's standard but it was OK. Meanwhile my husband's curly hair was getting longer and bushier. He now had a luxuriant bouffant atop his head. Not Burt's style at all. "I'll cut it for you", I volunteered. "No way," he replied. "Curly hair is much harder to cut than than straight hair." Well to be honest I've never cut curly hair so I didn't give him a hard time about trusting me etc, etc.--- but his hair is getting longer and bushier. Will anybody even recognise him soon!

He'll be recognizable, and yes curly hair is harder to cut unless you can flatten it enough with water. I've also had people recognize me without any difficulty after shaving off a full beard [prior to the shave having closely resembled Sasquatch] or getting a high and tight after letting my hair grow for a year or two.
Fortunately for me and my youngest, apart from cowlicks doing their thing our hair is fairly simple to take care of.

Sphinx-Cameron, Burt was wishing today that Boris would relax the rules and allow hairdressers to open but no they remain closed. I'll suggest to him that I could water down his hair and cut it for him.

All it takes is a steady hand and a clipper.
I ain't too purty on my best day, but the spouse did mine and it's comparable to what I would have gotten on post without the hassle of recruits hanging around and marveling at an antique getting shorn.

I asked him "not yet" he replied. So maybe I can water it down and do it!

My hair is the longest it's been since my teen days and I've even grown a beard. Bit on the grey side, if not white... Saw my fiancee's one-year old granddaughter yesterday and she covered her eyes, not recognising me. With barbers not anticipated to open until July, I reckon I'll resemble Grizzly Adams or maybe Hemingway.

You look cool, Cameron. Like the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk.  |

You look cool, Cameron. Like the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. When freshly shorn I look like pre-WWII military. |
