A haircut is a very important "ritual", both for men and for women, because in addition to restoring your desired look, it could mark the passage of a great change. We know that when there is an air of change, the first thing to transform is often the hair. It may be that you feel the need for renewal and that your hair always seems a good starting point, so much so that many people play hairdresser at home and experiment on themselves with the most disparate cuts. With the advent of the Coronavirus epidemic, several months have passed in which people have not had access to beauticians and hairdressers, and they have had to make do at home. These photos collect some of the funniest experiments that, unfortunately, did not go well!

Apparently, it's usually wives who receive criticism for improvising their husbands' haircuts. On the other hand, knowing how to manage your hair and make a beautiful hairstyle is not at all easy ... unless you are a hairdresser! (and sometimes that isn't a guarantee of quality either)

After renovating half the house to "take advantage of this free time to do things that aren't usually a priority", it's time for a do-it-yourself haircut.
