Warning: If you’re feeling vulnerable to, say, giving yourself bangs right now, we can’t recommend you read any further. These are dangerous times.
It’s a phase we knew we’d eventually reach in quarantine, but who could have predicted it would come so soon? While public life has ground to a halt, life goes on — and hair keeps growing. As regularly scheduled trims and root touch-ups pass us by, everyone from Pink and Carey Hart to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are reaching for the scissors and box dye, trading in their expensive salon cuts for goofier, more low-maintenance ‘dos. Stars, they’re just like us! Going nuts at home and making some questionable (and wine-fueled) hairstyle choices. We love to see it.
While some celebs are getting scissor-happy, others are just trying to maintain their pre-quarantine look — and Shelton is throwing it all the way back to his pre-pre-quarantine coif of choice, the mullet. Perhaps feeling nostalgic for simpler times, Shelton had Stefani help him kick off his hair journey into the past. We’re just hoping she doesn’t join him on this.
Whether you’ve been busting out the clippers at home or you can’t remember the last time you washed your hair, it’s always interesting to see how people turn to (or away from) self-care in times of stress. Sometimes, changing up your look is the boost you need to feel a little creativity, confidence, or excitement. Sometimes, the idea of taking any time at all with your appearance feels pointless. Both options are fine right now — great even! We’re all doing what we can.
Here are all the celebs who have cut or colored their hair at home since the quarantine began, with mixed results. Whether or not your own home salon is open for business, these are worth a look.
Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger
Chris Pratt’s curls we’re getting a little too long for his liking so wife Katherine Schwarzenegger was up for the haircut challenge.
“Here we go! Time to chop it off!” Pratt captioned on a photo of himself on Instagram looking rather scared on Instagram.
But he was pleasantly surprised with how well Schwarzenegger handled the clippers captioning his “after” photo, “Pretty damn good work by my wifey.”
Uma Thurman & Maya Thurman Hawke
Uma Thurman shared an adorable photo of lookalike daughter Maya, 21, as she cut her daughter’s hair from what looked like their kitchen.
“Home hair cuts bring us back home. We are all finding our selves again,” the Kill Bill actress captioned on Instagram.
Amy Schumer & Chris Fischer
We bet there is never a dull moment in this household — like when Amy Schumer attempted to shave the back of husband Chris Fischer’s neck. The comedian took to Instagram sharing a hilarious video of herself captioning, “Anyone else at this moment?”
While Hubby Chris is a bit skeptical saying, “Don’t cut it all willy-nilly,” the comedian is very sure of herself jokingly responding, “I’m doing a great job!”
Carey Hart
Carey Hart got a very special home haircut from none other than 8-year-old daughter Willow. “We’ve lost it. But we’re together! AT HOME,” wife Pink captioned a video of Hart’s grooming session (hint: it ended with almost no hair).
Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton got a little hair help from boo Gwen Stefani after deciding to bring back his old-school mullet. “Quarantine mullet update 3/26/2020,” Shelton tweeted, showing the new lines Stefani had shaved in. “@gwenstefani has decided to take it to the next level… Stripes.”
Kelly Ripa
Kelly Ripa kicked off the “root watch” trend with an Instagram story of the top of her head, and an arrow pointing right at her scalp. “Root watch week one,” the TV host wrote. Ripa says her hair is entirely grey when undyed, so we’re curious what she’ll do for maintenance in quarantine.
Pink
“Hair cuts and drinking. Quarantine diaries,” Pink wrote on Instagram, showing off a video of her new, cropped, lightly haphazard ‘do.
Hilary Duff
Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma dyed her hair blue over the weekend — yes, you heard us correctly. Maybe there was some Easter inspo, but whatever the reason it looks quite cute! The mother of two posted a photo of herself to Instagram debuting her new look and honestly, we’re into it.
Bruce Willis and Daughter Tallulah Willis
Bruce Willis has been in quarantine with his three daughters and ex-wife Demi Moore — and when daughter Tallulah, 26, wanted to shave her head, father Bruce was there to help out.
In a video posted to Instagram the father-daughter duo seemed very nonchalant about the whole situation.
Susan Lucci
Susan Lucci is taking on the bold task of trimming her own bangs — but she has a good reason! “Helps keep my hands out of my face,” the star captioned her mid-haircut Instagram.
Teri Hatcher
Teri Hatcher is a Madison Reed girl when it comes to hair color, and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. The Desperate Housewives star gave her fans a full Instagram story tutorial as she re-colored her roots.
Kyle Richards
Kyle Richards may be our quarantine hair dye guru. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she’s been getting greys since 25, and shared a video of herself touching up her roots with Clairol dye. “I do it myself quite often,” she said. “Pamela who does my hair sometimes she’s busy or whatever, I just do it myself. I use this 10-minute root touch up.”
