In pictures: The Cambridge students adopting dramatic new hairstyles in quarantine

With hairdressers shut and isolation restlessness kicking in, many Cambridge students have chosen to adopt experimental hairstyles in quarantine.

Right?

Scroll below to see some of the students who have tried out a new look in lockdown.
