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?

    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.

    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.

      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 normally make a pony tail while eating (or at least brush then back over my shoulders and into my shirt to hold them there) I also have very strong hair, I recommend those silicon hair ties which look like sealing rings, they hold everything. If they break, just get thicker ones

      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.

    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.

    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.
