    Hair that looks good, without leaving home

    With barbershops closed in many parts of the world, the attention of many guys is starting to turn towards what to do about their hair. In consultation with an experienced barber, we’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks you’ll need to stay looking presentable in-between haircuts. 
     

    • Trim when dry: your hairs expand and get slightly longer when they’re wet and, while professional barbers are experienced enough to take this change into account, it’s probably not the case when cutting your own hair at home. Make sure your hair is dry and comb it thoroughly so that the individual hairs are fully extended, otherwise you might end up cutting it shorter than you thought. 

    • Around the ears: ragged sideburns and tufts of hair sticking out over your ears are clear signs that you need a haircut. For that reason, it’s crucial that you tidy up these areas when trimming, even if it’s just so that you look presentable on a video call. 

    • Don’t forget the back: just because you can’t see the back of your head, doesn’t mean other people can’t. The hairs on the back of your neck grow back relatively fast, and that tidy straight line where your hair ends will quickly become blurred. Be sure to trim the back of your neck on a regular basis, and also remove any stray back hairs that might be appearing above your collar.  

    Tips for a quick trim and tidy up

    Bonus tip: if you’re self-isolating or quarantined at home with somebody else, then asking them for help trimming the back of your neck is relatively straightforward. If you’re alone however, then it can be a little more tricky. To get the best possible view of the back of your neck, position yourself in a well-lit area with one mirror in front of you and another one behind. Trimming like this can be tricky at first, but practice makes perfect.
