Under any other circumstances, dipping a toe in the ocean of self-cut hair would raise with a raft of valid questions, but now is not the time to consider them
In coming weeks, you’ll have a lot of time — and perhaps also a lot of hair — on your hands. Photo: Kelly Riordan/Getty Images As rumors of a coming coronavirus quarantine rumbled toward your city, you may have scrambled to strip the supermarket shelves of all beans; to shore up your toilet paper and weed supplies; to sanitize every surface in the home that will soon become your whole world.
The fact of my own hair did not cross my mind until today, when political bickering over the possibility of New York City sheltering in place prompted an arresting mental image: Me stumbling out into the wild in … two weeks? two months? September? … extremely pale and possibly also somewhat swole, due to all the beans and home workouts, with my mane grown down to my waistband. It is daunting to think about an indeterminate stretch of days spent locked inside, if also, undeniably, a privilege.
Under any other circumstances, dipping a toe in the ocean of self-cut hair would raise with a raft of valid questions: Which scissors to use! Which YouTube tutorial to trust! How to mask the damage I’ve done until a stylist can fix it! Which of my dad hats screams business professional the loudest! But one blessing, and also curse, of the self-isolation era is that you won’t be seeing anyone for who-knows-how-long.
Right now, many people will have nowhere to go and only roommates, partners, pets, and/or family for company; loved ones who have zero hoots to give about how your head looks, as that is among the lowest priorities in the midst of a mounting public health emergency.
In this time of overwhelming uncertainty and minute-to-minute change, very few things are certain. Here’s one: if you have hair, it will continue to grow. It will continue its determined march toward the floor until you grab the shears and intervene. Why not have fun with it? Maybe you’ll eat up an idle hour, and wind up with a little extra arts and crafts material in the process. Home hair cuts, the unexpected gift that keeps on giving.
