It's not that big of a problem. Either grab a pair of clippers or grow it out a little. You're not going to turn into a hippie in 4-8 weeks.
My girlfriend has long volunteered to give me haircuts. I am really uncomfortable with that. I will by no means do it myself either...
Twice per month! That is a lot of trips to the barber. I am not going to use clippers on my hair I think if I need a cut, I would rather put on a baseball cap.
I really hate it when my hair falls down to my eyebrows. It is such a distraction! Maybe gel my hair, even though I am not seeing anybody at all?
Yeah, hair falling near the eyes would be annoying. Put it up a little and use some gel.
Grow the flow
Not an IBanker, do not deserve the flow :)
I gave myself a rona cut two days ago with clippers.
I only did the sides and the back, and had my wife trim the edges/lines with explicit directions using my electric shaver. Definitely recommend having a second person to act as another set of eyes/hands for those hard to reach areas.
Would NOT touch the top myself. I made that grave mistake when I was 23 and the barber gave me so much shit for it when I went back.
Thank you bro for all the info. I will surely find it useful someday!
I use clippers anyway. #4 buzz. I clean up the ears and the back no problem.
Its a useful skill to have - to be able to clean up the back of your neck area with a mirror. I can do it with buzzers or with a Mach 3 - once you have this skill you can always look so fresh and so clean every time you leave your place.
I've grown out my hair before, but I usually buzz it now every week or two.
Practice makes perfect! I don't go to work a day without taking a shower first. You admirable always looking fresh and clean.
whaaa haha ok

No-shave quarantine applies to haircuts too.
So I am cutting my low sides every week (1-2 inches above ear), trimming my mid to high sides (2 inches to top of head) every 2 ish weeks, and just letting the top grow. I might go in for a cut on the top in a month from now but I feel like even if it gains some length it’s ok because I got my cut ~1 month ago and can wait another 2 months before it’s actually bad.
sides and back are totally fine to cut because they grow back quickly. I use a 1/8 to 1/4 for the 1-2 inches, 1/2 - 1 inch for the next part and for back I don’t use a mirror I just cut super short for however long and then use a longer one for a little bit longer and it’s harder but I just ask someone how it looks and then fix it the next day. but I personally don’t care if it looks bad or needs a small fix here and there because it’s easily correctable.
and also I was in your shoes but it's really easy to learn ive only trimmed twice so far and it looks good and clearly I've jumped some learning curve being so specific and having developed preferences already. I can't blend as good as barber but they take 20 mins or some long ass time anyway and it takes me like 5
