With hair salons closed and make-up artists banished from duty, public figures across the globe are being forced to take charge of their own beauty regimes.
For many that’s involved a DIY haircut – or trusting their significant other with a YouTube tutorial and a pair of scissors.
Others – including Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and former MP Anna Soubry – have adopted a dramatic new look, courtesy of a packet of hair dye.
Having previously sported a blonde crop, Ms Soubry debuted her new darker locks on Good Morning Britain today.
Here FEMAIL takes a look at other public figures and celebrities who have switched up their hair colour since lockdown.
Nicola Sturgeon
When Ms Sturgeon attended First Ministers Questions at Holyrood on May 13, her locks had strawberry blonde, verging on ginger tint – but this week the Scottish leader sported a much darker shade of auburn, which she matched with darker brows and eye make-up
Last week the Leader of the Scottish National Party, 49, revealed she has been maintaining her perfectly quaffed locks by chopping and dying her hair at home under the guidance of a Zoom hairdresser.
Edinburgh-based stylist Julie McGuire, 50, who’s been tending to the politician’s mane for the past six years, revealed the secret behind Ms Sturgeon’s tidy haircut to The Telegraph.
Julie said she has been leaving hairdresser supplies, such as colour formula and ‘proper’ hairdressing tapering scissors, outside her own front door for Ms Sturgeon to collect.

Anna Soubry
Former politician Anna Soubry resigned from the Conservative Party in February last year and joined The Independent Group.
She appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss Boris Johnson’s rejection of calls to scrap the NHS immigration surcharge.
Ms Soubry, 63, is usually blonde – but since lockdown she has changed up her look radically, sporting darker eye make-up to compliment her new brunette tresses.
Earlier this week she took aim at Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s unruly crop, tweeting: ‘34,000 deaths – the biggest national crisis in our life time and a nation crying out for leadership and Boris Johnson, our Prime Minister can’t even brush his sodding hair for this weeks PMQs. His disrespect and arrogance knows no bounds.’

Jacinda Ardern
The New Zealand prime minister is known for her enviable glossy locks, but since lockdown her mane appears to have taken on a slightly darker hue.

But in more recent images taken at a Covid-19 press conference on Wednesday, the New Zealand PM, 39, showed off a much darker do.

It’s likely courtesy of her partner Clarke Gayford, who tweeted on Sunday: ‘Helped dye partners hair and gave daughter a haircut with scissors I bought at supermarket for $6. Remarkably both parties still talking to me.’
Earlier this week Ms Ardern appeared on The AM Show – a New Zealand morning news and talk show – where she shot down host Ryan Bridge for asking why she was dying her hair.
Asked ‘is it going grey or something?’, the PM replied: ‘Never… never… never… that’s not a polite question to ask anyone – I was about to say a lady – but anyone, actually.’
