So, a fashion magazine had asked me to provide hair trend recommendations for 2020. In the moments of desperation for inspiration, I turn to humour. These, of course, never ended up on the glossy pages, but as I was going through my drafts, I thought our readers could appreciate a bit of humour.

/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}1. QRAZY QUARANTINE
/wp:heading wp:paragraphThis is an easy one to start with. Leave your hair unwashed for at least four days. The more oil on your scalp, the more you are on trend. Easy.
/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}2. SOCIAL DISTANCING UP-DO
/wp:heading wp:paragraphUsing a rubber band, hold your outgrown hair out of the way, as you are performing second deep clean of your flat this week.
/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}3. LOCKDOWN BANGS
/wp:heading wp:paragraphBest performed in the middle of the afternoon when you’ve run out of things to do. Make sure your scizzors are sharp and hand is stable.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph(If you want to up your game of lockdown bangs, do it at 3AM at night, to secure maximum regrets next morning.)
/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}4. CORONA-BRAID
/wp:heading wp:paragraphAn iteration of “Qrazy Qurantine”: braid your hair and leave it like that for a few days because you cannot be arsed to wash your hair anymore, but have to look presentable for your Zoom meeting.
/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}5. WASH YOUR ROOTS
/wp:heading wp:paragraphRun as a competition amongst your friends: who’s got the most striking contrast with their natural hair colour. Winner gets a pack of store-bought hair-dye.
/wp:paragraph wp:heading {"level":3}BONUS: "FRESH START"
/wp:heading wp:paragraphYou shave your hair off and enjoy the "fresh spring breeze" tickling your scalp.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphWin.
