Buzz cut for infection control or wait till hairdressers reopen and get pixie cut?

[ditavonteesed]

I'm a nurse and I'm getting a bit obsessed with hair at the moment and what I might be bringing home in it.
We have to wash hair after every shift now and I have shoulder length permed hair so it's dry as hell.
I would really like to not have any hair right now but I'm also mildly worried about buzz cutting it as I'm not slim and have quite a round face. My hair does grow really fast so would be at pixie cut length in a month or 2 anyway.
In the perfect world I would go and get a short pixie cut but obviously that's not an option.
So opinions, a, buzz cut, b, wait for pixie cut, c, stop obsessing about something silly?

Really suits you!

@lekkerkroketje I don't believe that's true, but I am aware that it's a bit extreme. I had a lot of compliments at work today although it was pointed out you can now see my earrings and I might get in trouble.
Thanks for all the kind words

It looks amazing

I got outside with a mirror and the clippers then chickened out. Sorry! The bright light was very unforgiving for my terrible skin and I don't think a buzz cut would help. I'm not as pretty as you

God you look wonderful and have such kind eyes. I wish you lots of love and strength over the coming weeks. Thank you.

You genuinely look fab OP! I hope it buys you a little time in your day and a little less anxiety at this time.

OP you look amazing! And thank you for everything you're doing.

[Escapeonabroom]

Honestly you look BRILLIANT! It takes years off you and you have the features to pull it off too! Im jealous! Ive been thinking of doing this for years.

[Onekidnoclue]

You look the bomb! Well done OP. Glad it’s a weight off

[Talulahoopla]

What a fantastic post. Lots of kind words and positivity here which is becoming more and more infrequent! The resilience and strength of nurses really astounds me, just getting on with life and doing your job without question or doubt. Then coming home and making such a brave decision to chop off all your hair.

You look great OP. Really brings out your eyes which are amazing. Well done 👏

Looks amazing, OP, really suits you!

Thanks again to you and your colleagues for your life-saving and life-affirming work.

Also a nurse here working in ICU, already had a really short pixie cut but I had my husband clipper it down even shorter so I don’t actually need to style it, literally wash and go, it’s fab!

Loving your hair, you look amazing!

Stay safe lovely

[susandelgado]
