Work from home is in full force, and your Zoom conferences aren’t just showing your colleagues what your home looks like; they’re also getting an up-close look at the toll that the pandemic has taken on your appearance. Yes, you need more quality sleep, but that won’t help that shaggy mane of hair that you’re sporting.

There’s nothing better than the pampering a guy gets at the barbershop – the straight razor precision on your sideburns, a cleaned up neckline, the perfect part. But if you looked in the mirror this morning and didn’t recognise the guy looking back, get your clippers, take a deep breath and join the ranks of guys posting on Instagram and Twitter by diving headfirst into an at-home haircut.
