Submitted photo Clear Cut Winner Your Community Voice challenged readers to send in their pics of their haircuts in quarantine and we would choose the worst. We have a winner. Grayson’s hair was getting quite long, so his parents decided to give it a little trim. The back went great, says his mom Chelsea, but when dad went to do the top/front, the guard fell off the razor and left a huge bald patch. The only thing left to do was to buzz the whole thing. Halfway through that process, Grayson decided that he had had enough, and brought an end to it. He lived like this for about four days before agreeing to take it the rest of the way. As promised, we will be sending Grayson to a hairstylist of his choice when safe to do so.
