Pandemic Hair and stomach

Hello, thanks for reading my post. I have not been able to cut my hair and over a year, and I've gained probably 30 lb since the start of the pandemic.

    Hi! It is definitely rough.

    I was already the hair cutter in my family so that part didn't affect us as much as others. If you're a woman and usually wear your hair long (past your shoulders), I have learned a lot from YouTube tutorials on hairstyling and can now do several very nice but simple updos, and I've learned a couple fancier braiding styles. I suppose a man could do these too with long hair, but many of the styles have a distinctly feminine look. :D

    I would bet there's videos on cutting/trimming shorter hair too, but I can't speak to those. I mostly use clippers for the men and boys, and I know a few men who will use them on themselves too.
