#CoronaCuts & #LockdownHair with Nicola Sturgeon

The dreaded DIY haircut. I am usually on hand as Nicola Sturgeon’s hair & makeup artist, but of course, with social distancing, we just can’t get to get to their favourite hairdresser!

So, instead of Nicola’s husband getting the scissors out, eeeek! I dropped a box of products, tools and scissors at Nicola’s door, then Nicola and I arranged a FaceTime session, where I talked her through how to do her own colour and a wee trim. Virtual hairdressing anyone? Really fun and Nicola did a great job!

Also! A wee parody sketch from Janey Godley keeping us laughing in the midst of this very serious period of our lives. Finding a little frivolity is good for us.
