DIY FACE MASK FOR HAIRCUTS

Carissa from Papatoetoe

Here's a hack to get you through your next hair cut, keeping you and your hairdressers safe. Wash your hands first and/or sanitise - then cut the ear loops off your surgical mask (or your home made mask). Stick some Fashion Tape along the sides and you're good to go. Fashion Tape is a double-sided sticky tape used for adhering fabric to skin. It holds gaping necklines in place (celebrities use it). This can be purchased at places like Spotlight, Chemist Warehouse, Farmers, KMart etc. I have seen some stick-on see through masks online made in Japan which allows the hairdresser to see your face/features, but this simple idea will keep you protected. Stay safe everyone.

Age Well Kiwi

Mabel from Hillsborough

We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.

With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.

We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.

If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
