Anderson Cooper has reminded people about the difficulties of successfully cutting one’s own hair by showing off his hair-cutting fail.

On Thursday, the CNN host revealed on-air the bald spot he has as a result of attempting to buzz his own hair.

“Last night I took a razor and, uh, buzzed my head and I gave myself a bald spot,” Cooper told his co-hosts, turning his head to show off the shaved patch, adding that he used the wrong razor. “I thought it was a 7 and it was a 5.

“I’ve been walking around all day with my hand on my head,” he continued.

The news anchor then joked that his hair looks fine “straight on,” but that when he turns it “gives it away”.

“I hope that grows back Anderson,” Dr Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent responded. “I think it will, but not sure. But I think it will.”

However, according to Chris Cuomo, Cooper may be able to make the accidental look popular.

In a later segment, Cooper joked that he’ll be able to provide Cuomo with a haircut now that he’s had some experience.

“If you need a haircut, I have a little experience now, and when you’re better, come by,” Cooper said.

The offer prompted Cuomo to respond: “Anderson, now you will make that popular. And I would probably shave a hole in the side of my hair. I’d call it ‘The Coop.'”

Cooper is not the only one to find himself with a poorly executed haircut as a result of the coronavirus lockdown, as many others have shared their own haircut fails on social media.
