Nicky admitted: 'On young kids it's okay but when I'm seeing some of these horrendous looks on adults I really despair actually.'
And arguing that it isn't necessary for people to cut their own hair, Kelly explained: 'A woman's hair only actually grows about half per month, which is really not that much of a big deal.
'If you're a woman with mid-length or longer hair, I would say don't risk it, don't touch it! For a man, it's a bit of a different story.'
Agreeing, Nicky added: 'Men should concentrate on styling. I think for women lockdown is only a problem for fringes or grey hairs. If you're going to have to do anything then it should be very minimal.

'Focus on styling instead - how to get more volume and life into it. For guys who usually have short hair it is an issue however'.
For those with fringes, Nicky advised carefully using thinning scissors to cut into their fringe from below, showing the technique off on Kelly.
'The idea of using kitchen scissor they just wont work', he added.

In November he welcomed his second child with girlfriend Kelly Simpkin , 37, a girl named CeCee.
The celebrity hairstylist also shares son Nico, 2, with Kelly, and admitted his son Harrison, 31, and daughter Tellisa, 28, from his marriage to Lesley Clarke were 'surprised' that he chose to have kids once again.
The couple met 11 years ago when Kelly was a stylist in Nicky's salon and they have been together ever since.
Speaking about their 24-year age difference, Kelly insisted her maturity paired with his youthful personality makes them a good match
