Walmart CEO says we’re in the ‘hair color’ phase of panic buying



(CNN) -- First went the hand sanitizer, disinfectants and toilet paper.

Now hair clippers and hair dye are flying off shelves.

In recent weeks, Americans' shopping patterns are serving as a reflection of how the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve and affect daily lives.

"You can definitely see that as people have stayed home, their focus shifted," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said on the Today Show, Friday.

1. This makes me glad that I've always been too lazy to color my hair.

3. This is finally my opportunity to let it grow out.

I'll be hunkered down at home for the foreseeable future so I won't have to go around in public with several inches of gray roots; I'll just keep cutting off the dyed part as the gray grows out, and by the time this is over it will all look normal.

2. Does she or doesn't she? Or he.

I've been seeing a lot of black haired 70+ year olds at the pharmacy store where I work. They venture out bravely to keep up the illusion.

4. My God, when this ends, you'll have to wait a month for an appointment with your stylist.

I keep my hair relatively short, so if it grows out, no problem. I've had gray/silver hair since I was 28. Dyed it for about 20 years, then said the heck with it. Best decision I ever made. But my stylist has offered to come to the house to cut my hair. Conflicted. On one hand, she's probably been around other people and could be carrying something. OTOH, this is her only income and would like to be able to do it for her. Leaning toward having her coming to the house. We can do it on the back patio.

5. Third option....

Just give her a donation. It’ll help her a bit, won’t get her license yanked and won’t put you or her at risk of the virus.
