@Krrygon Insert 'here's the fun part - you don't!' meme here.
But honestly, tying it back in a ponytail if it's going to be a serious issue, trying to tuck the loose parts behind my ears, or wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled up and hair tucked in there a bit.
Alternately, just learning to accept that my diet is going to be partly my own hair (and partly my cats').
I was afraid that might be the answer lmao. I do have cats, so I definitely get what you mean about learning to accept it. Cat hair just gets everywhere.
Yeah, a ponytail is probably what I'll have to do for the time being! Thanks!
I'm autistic, so I can't stand the feeling of my hair brushing against my neck and getting in my face, so have always had long but out of the way hair (it still gets in the way, but less lol). There are so many different looks and styles and accessories and techniques, from a simple ponytail or plait (that have so many variations themselves!) to things like a hair loop and those beaded combs that are really easy ways to switch up your look! You're going to have so much fun finding your favourites.
