Coronavirus: without a hairdresser, the D-system of the French during a period of confinement

It was a non-essential business that closed more than 10 days ago, before the confinement, and yet it would have been essential for some: the hairdressing salon. Europe 1 asked how the people confined were coping, "hair-wise" speaking.

Coronavirus: without a hairdresser, the D-system of the French during a period of confinement

Growing hair, receding ends, bleached roots... With confinement and no chance to go to the hairdresser, are we soon going to look like John Lennon or Yoko Ono in the 60s? This confinement, which is likely to last for a few more weeks, could in any case do some damage to our hair. Europe 1 has gathered testimonies from French people who are already tearing their hair out.

"What was going to happen to my hair and my dye job?"

Every day, the white roots on the brown head of Diane, who is not lucky enough to work from home, gain ground. The confinement is giving her grey hair, and that's what worries her: "A lot of stress, obviously: what was going to happen to my hair and my dye job," she laughs.

"We had to act. As soon as the lockdown was announced, I asked my daughter to go and get me some hair dye to make up for the disaster. And her daughter isn't really sure she made the right choice: "To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure I chose the right colour," she laughs.

For those who did not take precautions before the confinement, you will have to wait...
