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?

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 Wink

It looks amazing

ditavonteesed · 08/04/2020 20:01

@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
