forced self isolation
I had not had a haircut for weeks prior to this mess happening. My hair was sticking out so badly that I had my wife give me a trim. Will be at least 3 weeks before I am fit to be seen in public. Geesh. Seriously, seems the local barber shops in Lakehills are open. I would think that would be about the easiest place to pick up the bug. Social distancing would be tough between a barber (who is in contact with MANY) and the guy in the chair. I am not the most cautious person but thought the wife's hair cut would be preferable especially since we are stuck pretty much out on our property. My youngest kiddo has volunteered to make grocery shopping stops for us as she thinks I am a geezer would be a higher risk....

Well, here barber shops are considered non essential so no cuts. Thankfully I had mine cut about a week or so before the "confinement" so I'' be good for a bit. Used to have it cut by my barber of 30+ years every 10 days or so; now, whenever I look "tacky".
Course, I saw what my mom did to my dad and little brother in the "old days" and desperately want to avoid that "look". DW has said she is willing and able to step in and give me a cut.....now, what was I saying about "that look"?

I am a once about every 6 months guy, after 25 years of grooming standards. It’s getting where it’s starting to bother me, but I guess it have to wait a bit longer. Might have to wear a hat all the time.

I got sick of paying for 5 minute haircuts, shaved to the wood for the last 10+ years. Haircut every 2 showers.

I remember those!
Now I am a once a year guy whether I need it or not. Usually get it in late July. I shoot muzzle loading rifles in competition and the long hair "look" is good with an old flint lock rifle. By end of July my competitions are nearly over and I am into showing German Shepherds in the suit and tie where the well cut look is more in fashion.

I'm down to one haircut per year, in my garage with an electric trimmer followed by the DW even-ing it out. Just cut it when it gets in the way...

Well for me it is every six weeks usually before I go back to work. I don't own a comb but I do have a nice trimmer with all the guards.
All the shops here are closed, so the trimmer will come out before I go back up north. I let the DW do it because I cant see what I am doing in the back and messing with a mirror and the trimmer at the same time is just asking for an error. Wearing a hard hat 12 hours a day I need some hair up there but not too much or it gets itchy.

For me once a month. Last haircut was a week before SLO County in central California issued a shelter in place in March. So just ordered an electric rechargeable cordless men's hair clipper with self trimmer kit from Amazon.

My DW has been cutting my hair about once a month for years, no she's not licenced, but after several very bad haircuts by those that were that I had to pay for I/we figured she couldn't do any worse & so far she hasn't plus the price of the clippers were less than a couple bad haircuts.

I would like to add this post in response to your thread's title: "forced self isolation".
I just received 128 ounces of 99% isopropyl alcohol and a small container of glycerin (already have hydrogen peroxide) and can produce ~21 eight ounce plastic spray bottles of hand sanitizer after cutting it with boiled water and adding hydrogen peroxide and glycerin, filling the spray bottle then allowing the bottle to quarantine for 72 hours for others that do not have any. Now looking for a simple and cheap spray container filling machine and I can make these all day long.
My wife fabricated 41 masks with elastic, based on a YouTube recipe) over the last 2 days, for covering M95 masts to extend their service life for a local hospital emergency room. She plans to produce more as soon as she can source more elastic. While I was writing this post she just received the required elastic.

Going crazy,
Hair Cut is normally every 2-3 weeks. Looking like a Q tip on the sides and Flock of Seagulls front man on top

That has to be the most incomprehensible description ever.

I don’t have the length on the sides to pull off the “horns”
I keep it really short, so now it’s fuzzy, sticking out. Driving me nuts.
