    Default True colors, and the next shortage

    This past weekend while listening to my wife complaining about her hair and nail salons canceling her standing monthly appointments for Saturday.
    I realized we are soon going to see the fairer sex true hair colors. Unless they take to wearing hats and caps, or go back to the age old tradition of color from a box.
    And when they realize L’Oreal, or the like, may be their only option for a while. The next empty isles in the store will be where the hair colors were once displayed.

    Vanity goeth before a fall. Hopefully, one day, people will realize that the true person is the one inside the skin and bones and all this insistence on outer so-called beauty is just a commerce's drive to separate us from our money.

    Just got back from picking up some perishable things/eggs, meat/veggies etc.

    While I was there I decided to check and see what isles were still blitzed--Paper--Bleach--Hand Sanitizer--Flour--Yeast all still blitzed out. There was only one selection on eggs but the 18 count is what I usually buy anyway.

    However the Hair Care isle was pretty well stocked including Hair Colors--just a thought for your SWMBO--

    My mom and some of her friends used to perm their hair in our home. I still remember the smell--dad would just take off while they were working on each other. Later on mom started dyeing her hair at home until my daughter got old enough to help with it and then once my daughter became a professional hair dresser she took over the perming and dyeing chores.

    ME?? I've got plenty of hair and won't ever be bald or have a receding hairline and the grey--Yea it's creeping in there but as far as dyeing it---I'd never be vain enough to Ever even think about it.

    Yea, same up here with the salons/barbers closed. There are people who will still do your hair in their own homes despite not being an essential business. Nothing like taking a good chance on being a good looking corpse doing that or using the "service".

    No problem here, the boss is a diy person and I don't much care about what is left of my balding grey hair.

    Glad I got my haircut before everything went sideways. I can last quite a while before I need another one. We will see how and when that unfolds. Perhaps I will have to learn to do my own. As for woman colouring their hair, I do prefer the natural colours.

    My wife is lucky in the hair color area. All her friends hate her for it. She is 63 now and still has her original hair color. There may be a grey or three in there but none to speak of really. Full head of dark brown hair. I thought at one time of adding a little color to my grey but she said no. Even though Im younger than her she dont want me looking that way.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    I've been cutting my own hair for years. Got tired of paying $20 a month for a clipper cut, that I could do myself.

    That's $240 that could be spent on razors.

    I have not dyed any horn personally but have heard/read of others projects.

    When I have mentioned it to the other half she said that sound interesting and has saved me a few partial tubes of a dark brown color!

    I told the Missus I'd be more than happy to cut her hair and do her nails for free.

    She didn't find it amusing.
