Women are also going extreme with their haircuts during lockdown. Ladies who once had long hair are now sporting short sporty bobs.
The way these women are achieving this look is by tying their hair in two ponytails on either side of their heads. They pull the bands down to where they want the length to be and then chop the hair off below the bands with a pair of sharp scissors.
There are a lot of female influencers that have been shaving all their hair off and sporting buzz cuts like the men. Who looks better? Both!
