The other night, my husband told me he was thinking about shaving his head. He’s done this once before. When he changed careers, he asked me to give him the mohawk he’d always wanted, which he wore during his work gap. He shaved the ‘hawk when the new job started. He looked absurd but *shrugs* that’s what he wanted. However, I may have jumped into the conversation a little too aggressively when he brought it up again. His motivation was that he’s worried about not getting a haircut for the next several weeks and this was his solution. Men are so weird. Among the other ideas that got tossed out were one of us attempting to cut each other’s hair. It turns out, we aren’t the only amateur beauty technicians out there, plenty of folks are giving it a go. Scott Evans, brother to Captain America Chris Evans, also decided to shave his head. After calling for his mother to save him, he took the first swipe with his razor so there’d be no turning back.

He followed that up with a photo of the final outcome, which, honestly, wasn’t bad:

A few moments later, Scott let us in on the secret to get it just right: ask your big brother to finish what you started:
Don’t worry @itskatelambert, my brother helped me even it out. 😜 pic.twitter.com/a2s2vaEQ9a

In that video, Scott said, “I can’t believe I did it.” I’m sure he was talking about shaving his head, but I can’t believe he gave Chris a razor and access to his head after forcing him to watch his old films during lockdown:
Remembering old movies with @ChrisEvans – “Fast Forward” definitely made an impact. Here’s something to make everyone smile. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/2C4zkcrceH

Pink also tried her hand at haircutting, but she tried it on herself… while drunk. As she points out in her video, rarely are good decision made when drunk. Add to that no one should handle scissors while drunk so really, this should serve as a cautionary tale:
I don’t think it looks that bad. I get that she missed a spot, but it adds some nice texture to the cut, like a side version of the famous Kate Gosselin hairstyle. Plus it looks fine in a beanie so just cap it until it grows out enough to work with. But I certainly hope she makes her next hair choice in the morning. Several times I’ve tried to give myself a trim, mainly my bangs. At one point they look decent, but there’s just that one bit for me to correct and SNIP, I’ve mucked it all up. Then I have to wait until they grow out so that a professional can fix them. Bobby pins and hair ties are your friends, folks. Step away from the scissors. In case you were wondering where Pink’s inspiration came from, her husband Carey Hart, shaved his head just a week prior:
In all honestly, I actually advocate in favor of trying something you’ve always wanted to during self-isolation. Change your hair color, try a perm, explore a smoky eye – it’s the best time to see if you like it. And if it goes t*ts up, you have a little wiggle room to let it grow out. Or try a new look, like leather pants or caftans – create your own isolation version of you – when else are you going to have the opportunity? But again, please, don’t do any of that while you are drunk or stoned. I don’t want to be responsible for those clumps of singed hair on your bathroom floor.
Last bit, since we mentioned Chris above, do you know who is absolutely loving this self-isolation period? Dodger!
