I have.
It’s, just sometimes that occurs when I eat.
Munching for a bit, then hook my finger and pull my hair out.
I can’t push my hair back, because it is wavy and demands to be able to flow over my shoulders.
I can’t tie it up lest it rebels and consumes the hairband.
I have just learned to accept it. Have you?
Back when I wore it long, the problem was getting it in my pants?? How did I have that problem but not getting it in my mouth
Yes.
What I have difficulty with, is when some wayward knotted cluster I’ve inadvertently consumed, tries to jump ship the next day in the restroom, while having managed to braid itself on one end into my derrière hair, while the other side of it is still chilling somewhere up in my small intestine.
nice reading this 👍
Those probably aren’t hairs you’ve eaten; long hairs tend to just fall into your shirt/pants and are worked up into your butt as you walk around for the day.
I have lion style so it never fall
For the last three years I’ve let my hair grow out and donate it once its about 15in long. My hair is probably 2c if I let it air dry. It was annoying but I learnt to live with it by tying the sides of my hair back and tucking my crown’s hair underneath the tie. Some strands will sneak out eventually but it’s manageable.
However, what I have not found a solution for is my moustache. I like to have my moustache grown out, Tsar Nicholas style, but eating anything is a chore. Sandwiches, burgers, and pizze mean I’m munching on my own stache and pulling some hair out, soups and stews mean I’ll be patting dry the contours of my mouth down to my chin. The only things I can eat comfortably are things I can skewer with a fork. Really puts on a damper on my hair game since I have to trim it a lot for it not to be a bother.
I find a tiny pair of scissors to be very useful. I trim back only one part of my facial hair, the ‘hitler mustache’ area. It can be done quickly and easily and with care, few would notice there was anything trimmed at all. For me, it makes a world of difference when eating. I wont try to convince you further, I know Ii’m set in my ways, just wanting to say that there is an alternative to lip hair inhalation.
RE soups and stews: Leave it. Let it dry. You never know when you might need an emergency ration. Soak it in a bowl of water for a light snack or a mid-afternoon burst of energy.
Lol, that’s what I tell my friends when they inquire about sustenance storage in my beard.
RE: the centre stache thing, yeah. The bit isn’t a problem because that part I do trim meticulously. The sides are though, but those achieve the look. The problem is those hairs don’t grow outwards in an imperial fashion, but inwards. Think the guy with the beret from myth busters.
I just make a something like a chingion tail. Normal pony tail + another half. This works for me.
I’ve have long hair for about 35 years now. I guess mine is wavy too (?) although when it’s humid I’ll get some tight pipe curls. Just tie it back out of the way. Best hair bands I’ve found are made of pantyhose material, they don’t snag or wrap up in your hair. They do come in different sizes so if you have thick hair you can get a larger band.
Regardless, no matter what you do you’ll always eventually get some hair in your food.
…i tie back my hair or tuck it behind my ears when i eat…
As a guy who used to have long hair, this. If it’s long enough, you could also tuck it underneath your shirt collar in a pinch.
Ew, no. I don’t use my hair as a filter. Saliva smells gross when it dries, I can’t imagine hair with dried spit smells good. I don’t understand what you mean when you say you can’t push it back, I literally just push my hair to either side of my face so it doesn’t go in my mouth when I eat. I can’t imagine a hair type that’s impossible to avoid chewing on.
Here is what happens in a step by step process.
- I push my hair behind my ears (out of the way)
- I tilt head down to choose something to eat
- I select an item to eat.
- I raise the item up.
- At about this time, my hair has pulled itself free by sheer tensile force alone.
- Hair flops onto the edges of my mouth.
- Food item enters my mouth, hair latching on.
- I now have hair in my mouth.
This is what my wavy thick hair does everyday, every meal, every time.
I just usually keep my hair tied back with a rubber band, a head band, or under a bandana, if doing most anything but just sitting.
i just tuck my hair into my shirt before i eat
I talk with others when I eat, and while I could do this, my hair would immediately tug. 😭
Nah, I just tuck it behind my ear and eat with a weird little hunch and it’s fine
No, I pull it back when I eat. And when I cook or serve food.
No. Sometimes.
Beards are sometimes like that too.
Let’s talk more about the headbands. I use the cheap elastics and haven’t had an issue. Have you tried a large handkerchief?
Ooo, a handkerchief might be cute!✨
I have dreadlocks. If there are hairs in my food, i will know :D
I have adopted a somewhat haughty looking stance for eating where my head is angled back just to avoid this.
ooo, maybe I’ll do the same
