Have any of you let your hair continue growing and stopped shaving since this pandemic hit? I realize "let your hair continue growing" isn't an accurate term, but you know what I mean. I haven't had a haircut since December 2019, and I stopped shaving about a month ago.

Yes until I got my vaccine injections. Long hair was a pain.Last haircut was March 1 , 2020.

The top of my head is bald. I do let my beard & hair get a little wild at times & at one point probably looked homeless. I just take my beard trimmer, set it on a # 1 level , & buzz it rite off. With being bald on top , it is A much neater look. Even before the pandemic I would alternate between going to the Barber Shop & doing the job myself. Just did a buzz last night.

I stopped going to my local barber at the start of the pandemic. After a few months of looking pretty scruffy, I found an amateur willing to cut my hair. I have to keep reminding her about my appointment, she's often rather sarcastic to me, I have to clean up after the cut and I often have to bribe her with a foot massage or a gourmet home-cooked meal. On the other hand, she does the work for free, bakes a great pie and lets me sleep with her on a regular basis so I guess I shouldn't complain.

I haven't had my hair cut in almost 10 years. I have it I'm not going to discourage it. I do trim my facial hair. The funny thing is walking around people believe I'm a biker or drug user. Very interesting because I am anything but. I was once standing in front of a shop in Camden Ohio. A fellow ran up and ask to borrow my phone. He explained him and his buddy got separated running from the law after their meth lab was busted. Needless to say I gave him my phone and restrained him for a block and a half walk to the police station. I'm 250lbs well trained and have a sense of humor. The police officer at the station rolled laughing. Camden is a very small half shady little town just south of Eaton Ohio. One of my best cases of mistaken identity. There have been many others but none as crazy.

I just got a haircut about a month ago. I was hating the long hair. What a mess. But after I got my first vaccine I figured I might be ok to get a haircut. I was near the barber and thought I'd peek in and see how busy they were. There were 3 barbers, 2 customers, and one barber ready to go. So I popped in and got one before the crowd. Glad I did. But I won't be getting regular haircuts like before. Just every 2 or 3 months.

I stopped going to the barber when the price went up to $2.

I stopped shaving in grad school (late ‘60s).

My maternal grandfather made it possible to ignore the top of my head but I just got some scissors to do the beard myself.

I’ve had a full beard since right after I got out of the military in my 20s - it’s soooo much easier not shaving, although I do tidy it up once a week or so with electric clippers. I didn’t get a haircut from last April to a month or so ago after I had my second shot. If I could have held out long enough to have a decent pony tail, it would have been OK, but I just looked like a homeless person.

When I first grew a beard (‘50s) I thought it was just the absence of shaving. Due to the influence of the other gender (there were fewer then) I found that it was more trouble but less often.

I also thought it would keep my face warm. It would for a while, but eventually it would freeze up since I insisted on breathing.

My 87 year old father has not had a hair cut since January 2020 and had no plans of getting it cut. I've let both may hair and beard grow but have since had a haircut and shaved.....
