After a few weeks of cooking and showing off what you made, on Instagram, the boredom begins to get to you. As does the very real concern that you may not have access to your salon or hairstylist for another few weeks at least, if not months. That you don't have to step out into the world, and therefore, be judged for the off kilter fringe you have given yourself, means that experimentation is at an all-time high.

A Vice article seemed to suggest that those shaving their hair see it as a cathartic experience, a way to let off steam, or as one case study said, "I'll do something interesting, that way at least when I am at home, something exciting would have happened."
