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?

      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 feel a lot of replies here aren’t getting it, like yh it happens.

    I have wavy hair with a lot of volume, and I do push it behind my ear or whatever, but sometimes when I eat, I find a piece.

    It’s not when I’m cooking, and I’m sure if I had straight hair it would stay behind my ear neatly all the time. Wearing a bonnet or a hairband is not something to do in the middle of meal too? And it would ruin the style after.

    It is what it is. I’ve gotten hair in the mouth while making out too!

    Editing just to say, it’s fine man. Embrace the waves! They are beautiful, and people in real life find it cute. Most people want their hair to have more volume but you’ll get answers online making it seem weird or wrong because it isn’t what’s common.

    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.

    My hair is curly and thick, shoulder length but I’ve learned to eat without putting it up. It doesn’t seem to get in the way anymore. Layers help.

    Now when I grew it out to see how long it would get, I was washing it and there was a hair in my butt, went to remove it and found it was still connected to my head. This was disturbing enough that I cut it and never did figure out the terminal length.

    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.

          Ah, makes sense. Mine does more of a Salvador Dali thing, like the stache is trying to join forces with my eyebrows.

    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.

    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.
