Self-isolation, social distancing and shelter-in-place orders during the coronavirus pandemic mean salons and barber shops are shuttering, and citizens are prioritizing their health over haircuts and hot stone massages.
Though many celebrities own mansions outfitted with home gyms, spa-worthy digs and personal staff, some are adjusting to the coronavirus quarantine by embracing DIY manicures and cuts, rugged beards and at-home hair color.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards used her downtime to show fans how she touches up her own roots with a box of Clairol, as did Teri Hatcher.
But others are giving their natural gray hair a chance to grow. Kelly Ripa — who snuck in one last Botox appointment before self-isolating — exposed her gray roots on Instagram Stories after a week of staying home.
And on April 20, the talk show host — with mustache-sporting husband Mark Consuelos by her side — gave Live with Kelly and Ryan viewers a closer look at her graying roots, also admitting that she’d cut her own hair with kitchen scissors.
Kevin Hart also revealed himself to be a “frequent dyer” who is now leaving his “s***load of gray hair” alone.
Jim Carrey, meanwhile, announced his intentions to grow a beard “until we all go back to work,” sharing a selfie of his facial fuzz. Others vowed to follow suit, while Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams quipped, “Gonna do this with my armpits.”Jim Carrey✔@JimCarrey
