  • Many struggled to adjust to life without a hairdresser, barber or nail salon

Self isolators from across the world have shared their DIY beauty disasters as they struggle to adjust to life without a hairdresser, barber or nail salon. 

Taking to Twitter and Instagram, some simply gave into their ‘quarantine hair’, admitting it had been a while since they had brushed or washed their hair, while others attempted to cut it themselves – with questionable outcomes.

Elsewhere women were left unimpressed at the state of their nails, admitting ‘corona nails’ weren’t to their taste as they embarked on learning new beauty skills.

And in one instance a bored home dweller even got drunk and attempted to shave his head – much to the amusement of his flatmate, in a round-up of beauty fails.
