1. El auge de los cortes de cabello "hazlo tú mismo".
Ante el cierre de las peluquerías, miles de personas recurrieron a tutoriales en línea para aprender a cortarse el cabello, una práctica de autogestión que muchos mantienen años después.
- Sweet! i started cutting my own hair at the beginning of the pandemic am still doing it. Given my skill level, its lucky that im not super fussy about how it looks.
- I learned to give myself a haircut during the height of the pandemic and i havent gone back to a barber yet.
- Ive been cutting my own hair since the pandemic and ive gotten pretty damn good at it. It feels nice not having paid for a haircut in almost 6 years.
2. Crecimiento capilar y la transición hacia lo natural.
El aislamiento permitió que muchos usuarios experimentaran con melenas largas y barbas por primera vez, además de fomentar la aceptación de las canas y las texturas naturales del cabello.
- During the pandemic i grew out my hair for the first time in my life. Now im seeing all the things i can do with it.
- I let my hair go back to its natural color a bit of grey with light brown-ish during the pandemic and have not regretted it one day! low maintenance, too.
- Shoutout to the covid pandemic for getting me to grow my hair out because i didnt wanna go anywhere and realized that i really liked how i looked with long hair and how pretty it made me feel.
3. Experimentación estética y cambios de identidad.
La falta de presión social presencial sirvió como un laboratorio para probar colores vibrantes, rapados extremos y estilos que reforzaron la identidad de género de los usuarios.
- I cut all my hair off for fun early in the pandemic and it humbles you a bit to realize your personal style is tombo-core red hair, glasses, stripes.
- Dyeing my hair purple over the pandemic made so much of that commentary just vanish, as did getting more confident and being an annoying geek about things.
- I grew mine out during the start of the pandemic and kept it that way cuz it gives me more gender euphoria than short hair ever did.
4. Impacto económico y el abandono de los salones profesionales.
El incremento en los costos de los servicios de belleza post-pandemia ha consolidado la tendencia de realizar el mantenimiento estético en casa para proteger el presupuesto personal.
- I started cutting and dying my own hair during the pandemic and havent really gone back, i just cant justify the extra cost anymore.
- My salon has already raised prices due to the higher cost of products. I really only go to salon for the gossip.
- Ive been shaving my head since the pandemic because its honestly cheaper than paying for a hair cut.
