With salons and barber shops closed due to COVID-19, people are finding creative solutions to tame their hair that has gone without professional intervention.

The "Vampire Diaries" alum Nina Dobrev showed off her hairdressing chops on Thursday when she gave Olympic snowboarder Shaun White a haircut.

Dobrev, 31, posted the hilarious before-and-after set featuring herself brandishing a pair of metal scissors as a terrified White stares at her. His long red hair is swept up into an unruly mess, showing that it was in desperate need of a quarantine cut.
