I looked high and low for an easy how-to video for you guys on how to make it through until your next haircut. Your important areas are going to be around your ears and your neck.  I found this video that's pretty straight forward on trimming up around your ears and neckline.  It's Hi-Tech using either a webcam or your phone. A hand-held mirror works just fine, too.  If you have someone to help, that's even better.  Just remember if you do this yourself it's a reverse image so take your time. ​

There is a lot more to think about right now than hair but it’s more than just hair. It’s also about the people that do hair. One of the many industries impacted by the coronavirus is hair and beauty services. Even before public health orders closed down barbershops and hair salons in some states, many barbers and stylists closed voluntarily to be safe.

How long it will last is hard to say but optimistically, it could be only until the end of April. Some barbershops are still selling gift cards and hair products online or booking future appointments. That is a great way to support barbers at this time.
Now, what to do with your hair until barbershops reopen? Like many things in life, you can go with it or take matters into your own hands.

The good news is it’s a great time to grow hair and/or a beard. Even if you have video meetings for work, the small size and blurry camera will hide most of the awkward phase. The same is true if you try to cut your own hair.

Here’s how to take care of your hair at home while self-quarantining.

Just a note, this is for all those work-at-home, self-quarantined, social-distancing people. If you’re out there working through this crisis, thank you and be well.
 
 
Wait it out.
Depending on how long the closures are, this could be an opportunity to grow hair out and try a longer look. Go with the flow and rock the flow haircut. Or embrace that mullet. In the meantime, use some product to keep hair out of the face or if locks are long enough, try the man bun.

Buzz it off.
Some guys are used to keep hair trimmed all the time. If that’s you, the easiest at-home, do-it-yourself haircuts is the buzz. Pick a guard length and go for it. Start with a longer guard just in case the results feel shorter than expected. Try one of these trimmers.

At home haircuts.
While we don’t often recommend trying to cut hair at home, there is no choice right now. There are some excellent Youtube tutorials available to guide you through step by step. Try to find one showing the cut you want and go for it. Even better if you can enlist some help for the sides and back. If you’re doing this yourself, stick to the fringe area.

And remember, haircutting scissors are much sharper than regular scissors. That means two things. One, use them so you don’t damage hair. And two, take care not to cut yourself.

Get hair inspiration.
Even if you can’t get hair cut or the cut you want, this won’t last forever. Keep checking out this site and Instagram for hair inspiration. With longer hair, you may be able to try a look you never considered before.

Grow a beard.
Well, all the sports seasons are off but you can still grow that play-off beard. Whether it’s your first time with facial hair or not, check out these tips for growing a beard to keep the process looking and feeling good.

That should do it. 

Stay 6-feet apart out there and wash your hands!

​Chinese Tradition says that you should not wash or cut your hair on the first day of the New Year.  The Chinese character for hair is the same first character in the word for prosper. This means washing or cutting it off is seen as washing your fortune away and dramatically reduces chances of prosperity in the year ahead.

That said, I wondered when is a good time to cut your hair.  A stylist I used to work with once said if you are wanting to grow your hair you should cut it when the moon is rising.  Hair grows an average of 1/2 an inch a month.  A little more in the months when you're more active.  When you cut your hair, according to the moon, might have an affect on that, too.

Wonder for the best days for haircut? The answer to this question depends on your goal, the result that you want to get. Cutting the tips you are surely hoping that the hair will grow quickly and become healthier. But creating a new look with the help of a cardinal haircut, you expect that it will retain its shape and length for long. And here the simple lunar rules works – I described them in the post Lunar cycle phases.

Haircuts lunar calendar – best days depending on Moon phases
​
​As you know, the waxing moon (1st-15th lunar days), at lunar spring and summer, provokes the growth and development of everything on Earth. The same, of course, applies to our hair. Cutted on the waxing moon hair grow quickly, and this is the best time to cut the sick ends. The waning moon (16th-30th lunar days), gradually disappearing from the night sky, is constantly thinning and decreasing, contributing to slowing the growth and getting rid of everything that is superfluous. Lunar autumn and winter are the best periods for a haircut, which you hope to keep in a pristine condition for a long time.

Worst days for haircut by lunar calendar

However, not all so simple. In addition to the speed of hair growth, there are other factors that influence the choice of the best lunar day for a haircut. Do not forget that every lunar day corresponds to a certain part of the human body, activates certain organs. Astrologers advise to avoid direct exposure to the organ on that lunar day, which activates it. Therefore, the haircuts lunar calendar excludes days corresponding to the organs of the head and skin. So, 5 and 22 days of the lunar cycle are unfavorable for hair cutting.

In addition, there are some days of the Moon phase’s change in the lunar cycle. Generally, such days are considered as unfavorable and even satanic in some esoteric schools. In fact, these days of the lunar cycle – 9, 15, 19, and 29 – are simply characterized by a very powerful flow of lunar energy, which not all people can cope with. Therefore, do not forget that the hairdresser is also a human. It is better not to visit him on unfavorable lunar days.

Moreover, do not forget about the nature of each lunar day and its special influence on all spheres of human life. Of course, this influence extends to the manipulation with the hair. Best days for haircuts are not just days that promote their faster growth, or, on the contrary, slow it down, keeping the neatness of your haircut. A haircut on a certain lunar day can favorably affect your financial status or relations with the opposite sex – and it all depends on the current Moon’s mood.

For example, 3 lunar day, with its active energy and business acumen will contribute to increasing the income of a person who will make a haircut. A haircut on 13 lunar day will help a person dramatically change his life for the better, saturating its with creativity and innovative ideas that correspond to the spirit of the day.

Haircuts lunar calendar – general rules

Be attentive and remember that different manipulations with hair – haircut, coloring, perms, healing – often have a completely different essence in terms of lunar energy. Choosing when to cut hair by the lunar calendar, do not plan other procedures on these days. Remember that for coloring, for example, the waning moon is the bad choice. The color can quickly disappear from your hair (like the waning crescent, rolling to the new moon, from the sky). Well, and most important. When determining when to treat teeth by the lunar calendar, keep in mind that there are a few special days you can use to plan anything, including your visits to the barbershop.

So, 1 lunar day of the cycle is created for planning, defining goals and desires, thinking through strategies in any area of your life. If you determine your new style, future haircut type and the favorable date for it on the first lunar day, you will be probably pleased with the result.

7 lunar day activates the power of the word. Therefore, keep in mind that everything you say on this day will surely come true. Use the power of this day, saying aloud that your trip to the barbershop will be successful – this way you can turn any dates into best lunar days for a haircut 🙂

11 lunar day fills us with energy and confidence. Wishes conceived on this day will necessarily come true, if you really believe in it and clearly know what you want. It’s very good to work with the visualization of your desires on the 11 lunar day. It’s time to grab magazines on hairdressing and make a collage of fashionable images for your wishes map.
