Like so many, I have struggled with my hair during lockdown. I was due to have it cut and coloured the week of lockdown. So I am long overdue a bit of a “do”.
I have rediscovered my natural colour (mousy brown liberally sprinkled with silver) as my purple segments faded out and my highlights grew out. And my normally neat and tidy short hair has been developing a life of its own as my fringe grew down past my eyes and reached the tip of my nose. I had to watch a Nicky Clarke tutorial on how to cut your fringe - nowhere near as easy as the hairdressers make it look. I ended up investing in Alice bands and hair grips to keep it out of my eyes.
Tomorrow morning at 9am I shall be in the hairdressers chair getting rid of months of split ends and dark(ish) roots. I am unbelievably excited about the prospect of getting up at the time I usually get up on a work day and trundling off to the salon. I have just been packing my bag ready for tomorrow as no food or drink supplied, no magazines etc. So I will take a flask of coffee, my iPad, Guinea Pig face mask, hand gel etc. Apparently I will be given my own disposable gown (probably made out of bin bag) and a disposable mask to wear in salon and take home to dispose of it. Going to be a different experience, but I can’t wait to say goodbye to my lockdown hair.
