Dear forumers,

Since MCO has started, barbers cannot operate and "many" resorted to cutting their own hair, well, can't go wrong with that army cut/botak look/buzzcut.

Not sure if this is a mere coincidence but I did notice there surprisingly quite a number of young adults sporting the botak look. Last time rarely see younger guys (20-30s) sporting that haircut. Not sure if that's their haircut from the beginning or this is due to covid19.

Botak is not that popular among the young working adults who may prefer undercut all this while.

My question is will botak gradually become the new normal, since it is easier to manage?

And is botak haircut an acceptable image for those young executives (like in banks, etc)?

I have long hair in a man bun. So 2 months of MCO did not bother me one bit.

You show up at work looking just normal when everyone else has messy or badly cut hair.

Problem is many don't look that good (in botak), or worse, what about those below-average-looking guys haha

Depends on the head shape.

If lonjong will look like an alien.

If round shape will look very nice.

I have a beard trimmer. Just use to trim the sides and beard.

About 1 year.

Haven't been to a salon for 1.5 years. Save a few hundred bucks. Best thing is, don't need to use hair products. Just shampoo and conditioner usage up.
