Charlie Smith needed a haircut. But social distancing demanded by the coronavirus kept the 58-year-old away from his usual barbershops near his home in Frederick, Md.
So, Mr. Smith grabbed some old electric clippers, hauled a full-length mirror into his bathroom and bent over the bathtub.
“I just started clipping at it until it looked something like a haircut,” he said.
Problems soon emerged. Mr. Smith discovered that he couldn’t see his progress without wearing his glasses, but couldn’t cut his hair while his frames sat on his head. So he frequently stopped and started, adding and removing them. Cutting the top of his head proved trickier. He got some cuticle scissors and started snipping, but ended up nicking several fingers.
The world is beginning to embrace the do-it-yourself haircut. The results are mixed.
Thousands of salons across the country have been ordered closed. Those in need of personal grooming are grabbing beard trimmers, kitchen shears or other tools. Some consult RU-vid videos for guidance, while others call in spouses to minimize the damage of a homespun haircut gone wrong. Celebrity hairstylists are now offering virtual styling lessons. On social media, some posts warn of what is coming: “We’re exactly 3 weeks away from knowing everyone’s true hair color,” one widely shared social-media meme reads.
Janell M. Hickman, a freelance beauty writer, asked her fiancé to do the job. They went to the bathroom one recent evening, and she advised him to leave the top of her hair alone, but to shorten the sides, wanting a tapered look, but not too tapered. The cut took about 45 minutes, whereas a salon cut might take 25.
“I kept making him pause in between so I could look in the mirror and make sure he wasn’t going crazy,” Ms. Hickman says.
A few people are resigned to the fact that haircuts will be functional, if perhaps not stylish, for the foreseeable future. In Seattle, Ms. Schuldt says her husband and young son will soon need haircuts, so she may be forced to give them both a trim.
“We’re going to have home cuts sweeping the country,” she says. “In three months, everyone is going to have a bowl cut or a mullet. Those are the two options when you cut your own hair.”
Charlie Smith necesitaba un corte de pelo. Pero el distanciamiento social exigido por el coronavirus mantuvo al hombre de 58 años alejado de sus peluquerías habituales.
Entonces, el Sr. Smith agarró algunas tijeras eléctricas viejas, llevó un espejo de cuerpo entero a su baño y se inclinó sobre la bañera.
Los problemas pronto surgieron. El Sr. Smith descubrió que no podía ver su progreso sin usar sus anteojos, pero que no podía cortarse el cabello mientras sus armazones descansaban sobre su cabeza. Así que con frecuencia se detenía y comenzaba, agregándolos y eliminándolos. Cortarse la parte superior de la cabeza resultó más complicado. Cogió unas tijeras para cutículas y comenzó a cortar, pero terminó mordiendo varios dedos.
El mundo está comenzando a adoptar el corte de pelo hágalo usted mismo. Los resultados son mixtos.
Se ha ordenado el cierre de miles de salones en todo el país. Quienes necesitan aseo personal están agarrando recortadores de barba, tijeras de cocina u otras herramientas. Algunos consultan videos de RU-vid para obtener orientación, mientras que otros llaman a los cónyuges para minimizar el daño de un corte de pelo hecho en casa que salió mal. Los estilistas de celebridades ahora están ofreciendo lecciones de estilo virtual. En las redes sociales, algunas publicaciones advierten sobre lo que se avecina: "Estamos exactamente a 3 semanas de conocer el verdadero color de cabello de todos", dice un meme de las redes sociales ampliamente compartido.
Algunas personas se resignan al hecho de que los cortes de cabello serán funcionales, si no elegantes, en el futuro previsible. En Seattle, Schuldt dice que su esposo y su hijo pequeño pronto necesitarán cortes de cabello, por lo que puede verse obligada a darles a ambos un corte.
"Vamos a tener cortes en la casa arrasando el país", dice ella. “En tres meses, todos tendrán un tazón cortado o un salmonete. Esas son las dos opciones cuando te cortas el pelo ".
