Haircuts
What was your first post-lockdown haircut like? Mine was five months in the making, and I have once again reverted from long-haired hippie to ship-shape professional. It’s surprising how this small act of personal grooming restores a sense of order, a feeling of returning to normality. I confess I’m an impatient hairdressing client. The sooner I can get in and out, the better – preferably with no blow-drying, no gels, no wax. But this time, I was reminded that having our hair cut is an act of simple kindness and conscious attention. Caring about others starts with caring about ourselves.
