Alison Curtis: Hairy days as I untangle my daughter's lockdown locks

"Snip. I held it up in my hand like I was holding Simba. The first chunk of hair."

One of the things with the most sense of urgency in our household this lockdown is... tending to hair! All of our hair. My husband's, my daughter, Joan, and mine.

I have managed about four haircuts for my husband since March of last year. Ironically my first go at it seemed to be the best, with my third attempt being a very obvious “home cut”. But we are getting through it and his general appearance isn’t suffering, thankfully.
