Chinese barbers have come up with a creative way to style their clients' hair whilst keeping a safe distance amid the outbreak - by using tools attached to the end of long sticks. Hairdressers wearing protective masks are captured on videos holding four-foot-long poles wrapped with brushes, shavers and hairdryers. 'The tools don't work as well as when you hold them in your hand, but this is for the safety [of us and the customers],' Wu Junlong, a barbershop owner from Henan Province of central , told the press.

Another hairstylist, He Bing, uploaded footage of his colleagues providing the so-called 'long-distance haircuts' at a salon last Saturday in Luzhou, Sichuan Province of south-western China. 'Although the lockdown is finished, we still need to keep some distance to stay safe,' he wrote in a post on Chinese TikTok-like Douyin. The video has since amassed over one million likes. One comment wrote: 'You need strong arms to be a hairdresser nowadays.' 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder,' another web user said.
