How celebrities are switching up their style while self-isolating, from going grey to growing beards

Self-isolation, social distancing and shelter-in-place orders during the coronavirus pandemic mean salons and barber shops are shuttering.

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 colour.

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 grey hair a chance to grow.

Kelly Ripa — who snuck in one last Botox appointment before self-isolating — exposed her grey roots on Instagram Stories after a week of staying home.

Kevin Hart also revealed himself to be a “frequent dyer” who is now leaving his “s***load of grey 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.”

Will Smith also used his own hirsute moment to inspired a video montage featuring his memorable movie moments, digitally adding grey-flecked beards.

Former presidential candidate and recent Jimmy Kimmel fill-in host Pete Buttigieg also showed off some scruff.

Though he’s usually dispensing makeovers to other people on Queer Eye, reality star Jonathan Van Ness gave himself a grooming update while self-isolating.

Van Ness documented his transformation as he shaved off his beard and full handlebar moustache.

Singer Pink also went for a crop — for better or worse.

The pop star posted a video admitting that she drunkenly cut her own hair while at home, resulting in a slightly butchered pixie cut.

Blake Shelton is also leaning into his dramatic ‘do: the “quarantine mullet.”

The country singer posted a video of girlfriend Gwen Stefani caressing his locks after shaving stripes above his ears.

Actor Anthony Rapp, meanwhile, went for a full buzz cut.

Not everyone is ready to give up their creature comforts while cooped up, however.

A home-bound Ashley Graham showed off bold eye makeup on Instagram, telling fans that “getting ready and feeling like I am in my routine for a few minutes of the day gave me a short escape from the brain fog I’ve been feeling.”
