Brits have been unable to get a professional haircut for a month now, ever since hairdressers were ordered to close by Boris Johnson in late March.

Many have resorted to asking their relatives for a DIY snip, or simply letting their locks grow long.

With most handling a clipper for the first time, the online community has definitely benefited from the disastrous results which have delivered a bit of humour at a time when many are struggling with social distancing or self-isolating.
