• A hair salon has taken photos of its clients before and after their first post-lockdown appointments.
• HairForce One in Romford, England shared the transformations, which are more dramatic than your typical haircut.
• The pictures show how much our appearances and hairstyles have changed over the past few months.
• They'll probably make you want to book an appointment.

When much of the world went into lockdown months ago, few people imagined it would mean going so long without being able to get to a hair salon or barber.

And so, many of us are currently living with split ends, roots drastically in need of touching up, and somewhat straggly beards.

Those who have managed to snag a sought-after hair appointment, meanwhile, are leaving with more dramatic transformations than usual.

One British salon, HairForce One in Romford, England, has taken photos of its clients showing their looks before and after their first hair appointments following the coronavirus lockdown.
