There’s a small handful of things you can treat yourself with. Scented candles, self-help books, home-made nachos, and rewatching every season of Girls are fine for a while. Until you stumble upon that pale figure staring back from the mirror. Chipped nails and undyed hair hint that the line has been crossed.
And sooner than you know it, your quarantined home turns into a DIY beauty salon. It charges nothing and covers all essential services from fake tan, manicure, and hair trimming. All executed by you—a professional rookie. Surprise surprise, a quarantine beauty fail accomplished! Bored Panda has compiled a list of the best lockdown beauty disasters that will either inspire or curb your enthusiasm for good.

What could go wrong having my first buzz cut with the boys at 11PM without checking how much battery the razor has left
Does not matter, you will not meet anybody for the next month... (Except if you are sharing your picture..) ;-)
Hahahaha. All you need is some Nair. Or a disposable razor. It can be done. The electric clippers I use to shave my husband's head has a problem sometimes, and it leaves lines shaved into his hair. It would look really cool if we were going for that effect, but we aren't.
Or a hair removal cream. My husband tried to give himself a haircut and it went wrong. I had to shave his head off. Used hair removal creams and then a razor. Worked wonders!

He looks too young to have sons, even with the Louis CK hairstyle, but "with the boys" seems irresponsible for isolating if he means his mates.
Could be college age? Safer to stay together than to go home to older parents.

looks like he already decided to shave all of it off, but stopped to take a pic half way through. So does that even count?
Battery died so he couldn't finish. Sure he can get batteries as part of an essential shopping trip or order though.

Why would you just shave it though? Trimmers, with length guides/guards are very good and really easy to use.
I'm reluctant to call what my wife did to me a haircut. But here it is. Well done wife, another string to your bow
Giving yourself some time to focus on you and relax may be exactly what you need the most. You may not have a better opportunity to focus on yourself than the quarantined days any time soon. But before getting yourself into a full-blown home-made spa, you might wanna know some tips about basic beauty treatments.
If you feel like you need a hair trim, you'd better take some time off from cutting altogether. Stay focused on your hair health and consider adding conditioning masks or moisturizing treatments to your beauty routine. After the crisis is over, you will be stunned to see your luscious locks well-rested and ready to take on the summer look.
Another great tip is to try washing your hair less. Start slow—skip days at a time and see how your locks are feeling. There are natural oils on our scalp that boost hair health, but we usually wash them all off in daily shampooing sessions.
Quarantine + boredom + overconfidence = this monstrosity
Ponytail first and then chop of the end. Damp hair, smooth into a low ponytail and then keep the amount you cut off to a minimum. If you repeat the process from start to finish it ends up pretty even.

You can definitely try out a quarantine nail salon at home. But it’s better to stay away from gel or dip manicures altogether. A regular polish of your fave color is a great way to get that lively look. Try out colors that you usually don’t wear—quarantine is a judgement-free zone, and it’s an excellent time to experiment a little.
Today my partner learned that you shouldn’t put off a haircut until the apocalypse when the only person left to do it (we’re in NYC) is your girlfriend who has never even trimmed her own ends. He calls this look “Cambodian garbage Hitler.”
My kiddo cut his hair yesterday, then agreed to let me have a little fun with it before we fixed it.
Is anyone else struggling to adjust to their new at-home beauty routine? I accidentally burned my lip trying to wax yesterday… so painful. Tell me I’m not alone
Tried to cut my son's hair during quarantine, now he's gonna complain to the hotel manager
Don't use your beard trimmer to cut your hair
Or if you do use the trimmer guards. Start with the highest number as you can always go shorter. Longer on top, shorter on back and sides. I have a six on top, and a combo of four, three, two as I get closer to the edges.
Our son's hair was in desperate need of a haircut during quarantine. Husband and I took a wack at it. We had to stop before it got worse
Why don't people look at online guides? There are plenty of videos showing people how to do an easy trimmer haircut. It isn't difficult. My sister always did her sons hair.
My buddy's wife convinced him to let her cut his hair while in quarantine. The results speak for themselves
With the barbershop closed during quarantine, my wife tried her best...
Ugh, try your own nails for the duration. The break might do them some good as acrylics can damage the nail and in some cases cause fungal infections.
My mom: “Don’t worry, I used to give haircuts all the time”
Uh oh, this looks weird. Maybe I should have googled how to give a haircut before jumping right in
Is this the famous Kim Jung Un style? Now I understand why Donnie fell hopelssly in love with him....
I’m not a hairdresser. Corona forced me to be a hair dresser. This is why I am not and should not be a hairdresser. (I had my phone in my hand and it accidentally took a burst pic which captured the “what have I done” look on my face)
wife wanted to cut my hair for her birthday since I was overdue before quarantine started...
Yikes. Never understood the desire for acrylics... all that filling-in hassle.

One question: if people are in quarantine, why TF do they "desperately" need a haircut??? It's just hair. Let it grow and visit your hairdresser when it all ends. I let my fringe grow, I wouldn't dare to touch it with scissors!
Trimming a fringe is easy but it is still better to leave if you aren't sure. As for the nails... go natural for a short while. Your nails will thank you.

I do all the haircuts in this house, even my own backwards in the mirror. Never had a problem. Besides my son LOVES his mohawk (He's 12)
This one is a few years old, it's no longer blue, but yeah finished-5...fcf2b9.jpg 
My children both look like shaggy little hippies and I am totally fine with that. There's no way I'm touching their hair. I might try that ponytail trick with mine though. I don't have an ounce of vanity, but I live on a farm, so I have practicality to spare. It's windy in northern Missouri and my hair is annoying the hell out of me.
I do the ponytail trick with my hair cuz I'm too poor to drop $20 on having it cut. It works really well, even with my super thick hair.

Clearly, most of these are the result of trying to use electric clippers freehand to cut for length. Don't do that. If your set of clippers didn't come with a set of snap-on guides, you can get them separately. The guides are for length. They're numbered from 1/2 up to 6, from shorter to longer respectively. Most clipper sets come with these guides (including tapered ones for doing around each ear), comb, scissors, apron, and small battery-powered clippers for trimming edges.
I don't get the desperation for nails - let some healthy nail grow for a while - and most of the hair wouldn't be so bad if you took it slowly, a little trim at a time. I'm guessing some of these people are still going to work, or maybe spending some time on video conferences? Some are maybe bored, and some are just that vain. I know my stylist has some customers who have their hair trimmed every week or two. I grew up around several little old ladies who went to have their hair done every week, but they could do it at home in a pinch.
My cousin has really long hair (he's a boy) and because he was bored he shaved it all off.
Does he like to look in the mirror and tuck it?

I'm waiting for all the "I decided to wax my own brows" posts filled with women who now look permanently quizzical
I see many more men than women in this gallery. We're either wiser to wait for our hairdressers or more embarrassed to show the outcomes 😂😂
You kids should see how I butchered my hair. It's never been this long in my life (and it's still pretty short compared to other guys) and I was growing very long side curls. Since I'm not Jewish, they had to go. You should see what I did to myself. I can't be trusted with scissors or electric hair trimmers.
Myself and all my hair stylist friends are forgoing all hair maintenance in solidarity with our clients. We have let them know we will wait it out with them, please don't worry about your hair and definitely don't home cut, we may all be shaggy when it's over but we'll be alive!
I think it took me maybe one try to perfect the home clipper cut. The tradeoff is that it takes nearly two hours, but i only do it like twice a year and the results are pretty much indistinguishable from a salon cut. It's not too hard to make things symmetric, even when working by feel alone.
Why are people doing their nails, cutting hair, etc anyway??? Who's going to see you??
I trim the ends off my own hair and I do my husband's hair. I've only ever heard positive things from other people- except for sometimes him because we occasionally have different definitions of the words "trim" and "just the sides"- and I've gotten quite good at it. I feel like people just aren't thinking about what they're doing and figuring it's easy. Start with reading, watching videos, looking at images of the style you want, and when you actually start cutting go slowly. These really do look like someone started with too much enthusiasm and not enough planning.
I just paid close attention to how my stylist cut & watched a couple videos before trimming my sides & bangs. Looks good.

I don't understand the hair cut fails. Don't people watch how their stylist does it? My problem is i cut everyone's hair but no one had the guts to cut mine.
I don't get why people can't live with their hair growing out a few centimeters? Apparently average hair only grows at the rate of 0.5 inches/1.25 cm per month? People are acting like they've been in quarantine for a year or more...
My first thought as well. How far can hair grow in 2 or 3 weeks? Do these people really normally cut their hair that often?
Load More Replies... 
This is a good way of getting people to want lockdown to last even longer. If you live with someone who's always moaning about it, cut their hair badly and they won't want to go outside!
The only thing I'll cut is my own bangs, which I do fairly often. It's good enough to let me hold off going to the salon. But no way in HELL am I touching the length of my hair. I'll just let it keep growing til I can get a real cut. God people, stop being DUMB!!
Now you realize why you should be tipping your hairdresser/barber more
I think people will stop bitching and complaining next time they have to wait in line at Great Clips or Supercuts again.
It is hair. It will grow out. But it is also a lesson on why it is a proper job to be a hairdresser.
Ok. Here's the thing: (1) If you have a goddamn smart phone and time to take pics of your failures, by default, you also have time to access Youtube and make informed decisions; (2) hair is logical. It follows the skin fiber. That's the logic tested time and time again by hair stylists. Cutting hair is not a science. Really, there are no excuses for these disasters.
I don't get how, if these people have clippers, they can do such a bad job. Ours have different length combs, start with a long one, work down until you're happy with it. The worst you can do is have it all the same length all over a bit shorter than you intended. It's when people try to do fancy things they have no experience of they get these c**k ups. Still, it's hair, it will grow back. Just don't try cosmetic surgery, ok?
Incredible 😂🤣😂 perfect timing as today is the day I am cutting my significant other’s hair 😳
I just picked up a pair of scissors ... putting them down again now ... verrrry carefully.
I've been giving my husband haircuts before it was cool. My mom has done my dad's over 40 years and she's no hairdresser, and I'm not a professional but my husband lets me play with his hair every month. Satisfied customer everytime!
Why can't you leave your hair alone. I understand not wanting grey roots and trying to dye it, but why a haircut?
My pity is limited. What the hell is the problem with some longer hair for a few weeks??? Do the men worry they'll lose their manliness?? Adn who cares about stupid nails, when you spend all day at home, anyway?
Does everybody now understand that Cosmetology/Barbering isn't a fall back profession for high school drop outs? But, your mistakes are going to be my income for the next 3 months!
I can't understand it... in a lot of this before pictures, the hair was short. It was good. Why would you like to cut it so desperately? But one thing is for sure... when the quarantine is over, all the hairdressers are gona have A LOT of work!! Good for them!!
Just google videos explaining how to do it. That's what I did for my brother's hair. I'm an 18 y.o. who never cut hair before and my brother's turned out fine.
#16 Looks not bad, certainly not Moe Howard. Looks more like Jack Nicholson in Ironweed.
I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of shaved heads when this is all over with
Whenever my dad asked me to cut his hair (with clippers), I always asked how far down his neck he wanted things shaved. His hair went down his back, as in grew
This is why I am so incredibly thankful I went to cosmetology school and learned to cut/dye/perm hair along with nails and waxing.
So many people cutting the hair for 15 minutes of fame. 🙄 And dragging kids to this madness of "needed a urgent cut",but when you look the before photos, have nothing urgent there. 🤮
I’ve asked my husband to grow his hair longer for most of our relationship. He finally is now.(not by choice!) He’s got a great beard but usually has a conservative haircut. Naturally his hair is thick and wavy. Catana Comics gets it. 😍

I've had to cut my own hair for a long time, I have massive allergies to the many chemicals in salons. Right now it's so long, I'm just letting it grow for the heck of it. Long, straight, so many fun things can be done, my fave is sleeping in braids, then in the morning taking them out and finger combing. Voila, awesome wavy hair!

I've been cutting my husband's hair for 30 years. By the time my hair was three weeks overdue for a cut, I started looking online for how to vids for short, wavy/curly hair. Didn't learn a thing. Gave up. Two days later I woke up, looked at myself in the mirror, said "OK, that's IT!", and without coffee, or breakfast, or time to talk myself out of it, I grabbed scissors and cut my own hair. The hardest part was cutting the back by feel alone. It actually looks pretty good, and I may continue to cut it myself after all this is over.

For pete's sake, cutting short hair with clippers is not rocket science. 1. Start with the longest blade-guard you have, and work down to the shorter ones. 2. Watch what you're doing, and periodically stop to take stock of what's happening. The result may not be perfect, but unless you are drunk, blind, or have a physical coordination problem, you can do better than this. (And since your a*s should only be out the house once a week, do after you get back, and any mistakes will even out before anybody sees it.)
