With millions of Americans sheltering in place, home haircuts are a growing trend. So, naturally The Today Show tackled the topic, sharing pics of some hair-don’ts before offering up co-host Carson Daly to take a crack at a DYI hairdo. Still, he didn’t go at it alone. Hairstylist to the stars Chris Appleton consulted via phone, while Daly’s kids lent a hand.

(Carrie Bradshaw voice) And just like that, American culture collapsed in flames as we watched from our couches, sipping our store-brand coffee and dreaming of lattes that would never come again. https://t.co/0OT4D8bisY

Carson Daly can jump into a volcano for all I care, I'm so fucking sick of seeing what our celebrities are doing during quarantine. turns out we can live life without them and I'm starting to like it.

If 20 years ago you told me we’d all be at home on a Wednesday morning watching Carson Daly cut his own hair on TV I would’ve guessed we collectively started Meth around 2012
