Can You Believe HOW many people have cut their own hair?

LOCKDOWN Beauty and US.

by BR Tabatha

Last week in the search of the facts and to uncover the truth, we surveyed our Beauty Review readers to ask if lockdown has impacted the way we look, and the way we buy.

Have we turned into a nation of women cowering in the shadows not because we’re afraid of COVID-19, but  because our body hair is now so long it needs to be blow dried?  What DIY beauty treatments has the nation resorted to?  Have we become a nation in love with supermarket beauty products, or are we hanging out for salon treatments?

Let's find out!

 


So there you have it.  The Lockdown Beauty numbers crunched - any surprises?  We can't believe so many salon clients have reached for the scissors and colour!  Let's hope hairdressers don't decide to add a DIY Tax! 

WIN: Tell us more about any of your DIY successes or failures below and we might reward you with a spot prize from our awesome prize cupboard to boost your spirits.

I used box hair dye because my hair was looking dull. My daughter thought it was brilliant dying my hair . I could do with a cut but I’m scared as I’ve stuffed this up before .

Love your beauty stats. I'm one of those hair cutters, got rid of some nasty bleach dried ends, but look forward to getting my hair restyled in a salon soon. Interesting stat about repurchasing of new brands.

I haven't done anything to my hair at all. Just soaked it in magnesium oil and washed it. I have seriously thought about a cut and colour but realistically, I don't think any hairdresser would colour my fragile white hair.

I coloured my hair back to black but within a matter of two weeks it went back to it's dyed balayage look. I don't know if I missed on the instructions on how to use it on bleached hair.

I've been trying to pull out this annoying long hair on my partner but he kept saying it was his lucky hair lmao and go away. I finally managed to pin him down after a few drinks and plucked the sucker out. It was very satisfying for me. Indeed a DIY success hahaha.

I helped shaved my partner hair the other day. He was desperate lol I've never seen his hair so long before. So satisfying to see all the hair on the bathroom floor. Took ages but turned out pretty well.

I have to admit I did trim my fringe, I did it a couple of times, just a fraction at a time just incase I made a boo boo.

I cut my daughter's long hair and it looks great you wouldn't tell that a professional didn't do it. I also shaved my husband's hair and that looks good too. I really miss window shopping the most and purchasing beauty products.

Doing my own manicure was a flipping mess however so definitely looking forward to having that done again.

Hey MareeB, what's the magnesium oil for in your hair?

It's rumoured to help grow and thicken hair. It's good for hydration and weighs it down a bit so it doesn't have flyaways. I have fine thinnish hair after an illness and am trying to improve the quality of it.

It does seem to work, but time will tell.
