With barbershops being closed for the unforeseeable future, I have no way of getting crispy fades and refuse half-assed haircuts from friends and family . So I'm just growing my hair.

Who else is with me?

I always do; it's usually a year between haircuts, it's not unknown for me to go longer.

I can cut my own hair but I might go full caveman beard just for the sake of it. Seems now is as good a time as any to give it a go

Well, not by choice. Been over 2 months since my last cut and no end in sight, so ...

Its a good opportunity for anyone to hide their awkward length phase, too. I grow and then cut off my hair all the time, so I'm going be risky and try to dye my hair. If it looks bad, cut and grow it back before anyone notices!

Same, coming up on one month without a cut now.
Also trying to grow out facial hair for the first time ever, on day 10 without shaving.

I am, but I was doing it for like 2 years before this lol. Got sick of getting fades every two weeks. Longer hair comes with its own problems though

I'd been letting it grow long for about four years now. Was seriously starting to consider donating it, but I guess I have an excuse to just let it keep growing now. It's just a few inches shy of the small of my back.

i usually cut my own hair but right before this i was growing it long anyway, i'll still give myself a fade but probably let the top get long.

I have never really grown facial hair but i'm gonna let that grow. much to my wife's chagrin.

I keep wanting to, but there's this really weird period where it just looks awful because it's too short and too long at the same time. So I usually end up cutting it because something comes up and I don't want to look terrible.

I had to cancel an appointment with my barber a couple weeks ago to focus on getting things ready to move to a new house, and I was already a few weeks overdue (typically go every couple months); no idea when I'll be able to get back in. So I'm definitely looking scruffy, but I've got a decent enough head of hair to rock a 70s style should the need arise. I have way more grey now, so I'll probably get a nice salt and pepper look as it grows out. There's something nice about having short enough hair that you don't have to bother with it, but if luxurious locks are a fashion trend borne out of shelter in place, the world's probably better for it.

Haven't had mine cut since November. I've been lazy to get it cut more than anything as the shops are still open here.

Real Talk - so all the major chains have closed down?

I have not considered this in my isolation plans prior but damn. I need a cut!

Will resort to...not going there yet.

My hair doesn't get long, it goes out. My hair always gets more bushy than long.

Shaved my head a couple weeks ago as things were starting to get crazy. Not touching it until I'm able to live a semi-normal life again.

I've been growing it out for about 9 months now. I love it when I'm driving and the wind flowing through my golden locks. I've had people compliment me on how beautiful my hair is. It's nice.

But I have to admit it can be a pain to wash. I have to wash my hair everyday because it gets so oily.

I made the decision to grow it out a year and a half ago, and I'm in desperate need of maintenance.

Had that John Wick Keanu thing for a bit, sometimes I go a year between cuts; ended up just getting rid of most of it a few weeks back.

I buzz because I'm lazy, cheap, and I'm not paying for a fade. I don't do lineups because I don't care that much.

I'm not growing my hair because I can't get it cut; I was starting to grow it out a bit before all of this shit hit the fan. Letting my facial hair grow since I don't need to shave it for work, tough

Same exact strategy as me. I typically go get my fade every 9-10 days. Without this, it looks like shit so I'm just letting it grow baby grow.

Rock on man....I go weeks w/o shaving but my hair...OMG. Going to have to shave that shit off on my own. Expected results will be very, very, bad! Ouch.

I started growing my hair out unintentionally and then as I got compliments I decided to stick with it. Haven't cut my hair since late September/early October, I believe. I've always kept it pretty trimmed and proper but I'm really loving my new look. Not sure I could grow it out LONG, but this medium length is suiting me just fine.

I'm trying to decide between letting it grow out and getting out some old big razor I had and buzzing it because it is annoying the ever loving shit out of me.

My hair is to my knees, so yeah I'm already growing it long. Most people have no idea how long it is because it's usually up in a bun held by hair sticks.
