Most men make a trip to the barbers at least twice a month to stop their cropped locks growing out of control.

People around the world shared photos of their questionable at-home haircuts on Instagram, Reddit and Twitter as the world looks to lighten the mood.
Among them was a man who gave himself a dodgy mullet and a couple of mothers who trimmed their sons’ hair.
