Most of us are struggling with our hair these days. With salons and barbershops shut down, we’re left to our own, usually dull, devices to tame the mane.
Local 4 reporters and anchors shared their hair routines these days with Steve Garagiola this week. We then asked the Coronavirus Text Exchange group how they’re managing their hair as we head into week 12 of the stay home order across Michigan. Here are the comments — and a few photos — people texted. Want to join the text conversation? Use the form below.

‘I need a haircut!’: Users get to the root of the problem
“I almost never get my hair cut or do much of anything to it on a regular basis. I decided to get highlights a few months before the shutdown (of course). Now the highlights are growing out, so I’m in need of a touch up for my roots. My trick is to tilt the webcam down so you cant see how dark the top is verse how light the bottom is 😂”
“It is long, but not as long as it was in 2008, when I was in a rock band named Myth Not Man. It was just under my shoulders then. I don’t mind growing this out, as my health and safety and the health and safety of my family is more important to me than how long my hair gets or how wild it looks in humidity. Plus long hair can be a fun look.” -Matthew, Harper Woods
