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

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?

Brilliant!

Glad you like it! I know I said it can be a bit of an unforgiving hairstyle but I am jealous of how easy to manage it will be!

I'm so jealous, I've a longish pixie and thinking of taking the plunge.

Ooh, please post a pic. I'm tempted to go shorter.

ditavonteesed · 05/04/2020 15:47

Thanks, I actually feel quite liberated. I just got scissors and hacked at my hair was fun but a little bit scary.
