People with long hair, Have you just accepted having your hair hitchhike on your food into your mouth? (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.

    1. I push my hair behind my ears (out of the way)
    2. I tilt head down to choose something to eat
    3. I select an item to eat.
    4. I raise the item up.
    5. At about this time, my hair has pulled itself free by sheer tensile force alone.
    6. Hair flops onto the edges of my mouth.
    7. Food item enters my mouth, hair latching on.
    8. I now have hair in my mouth.

    This is what my wavy thick hair does everyday, every meal, every time.
