31. Did the same.

Left the guard off the trimmer by mistake.
Self-inflicted haircut, done ever since Covid years.

Ended up with an unintentional buzz cut, all over.

Good to go for another year.
Some of it will grow back, eventually.
Going commando on the head is more popular these days anyway.

Haven't done the eyebrow accident yet but give me time.
