Hmm, see long bangs or front that has to stay back by ear tucking does NOT work for me, if it’s long enough it’ll get in my eyes when I exercise it’s a hard no. It either will need to be really short or long enough to get pulled back. And I wear my hair back 100% of the time. Right now I usually just braid it. But post partum hair loss means I have a lot of 3-4” fly aways that have appeared and are anarchists.

Ughhhhhhhhh. I am just sick of my hair having fly aways, chunks coming out whenever I wash it, taking ages to dry and forever to wash, and being a baby grab and yank toy slash baby finger tourniquet risk.

How tolerant are you of wearing a buff as a headband? That’s my tactic.

A buff?

I have a bunch of half-length buffs (like the one shown) from bike events but have also made them out of old t-shirts. I get headaches from headbands but these are much looser and stay on my tiny head better than a headband.

I have those but they are actual wide cloth headbands. I use them on my hair then pull them down over my eyes as a sleep mask when I want a nap.

Yes. My hair curls up a lot more when it doesn’t have the weight on it from being long, so that’s a consideration. But I didn’t find it more difficult to maintain, just have to keep stocked in anti-frizz product. But that’s always anyway.

Oooh I’ve never tried one of those. Head bands cut in after a short while for me normally. I’d have to wear it full time with mid length hair though, I seriously can’t tolerate hair in my face at all. :grimacing: but might be nice now even if I don’t cut my hair to help with PP fly aways.

That’s how I am sensory-wise and my hair is super fine so it’s a constant thing. I would die at work without these; the feeling of 1. bouffant cap hair after a 10-12hr shift and 2. that one stray touching my face when I’m scrubbed in is enough to chop off my head :laughing:

These are 2" wide and very stretchy and soft.

Headbands always hurt me. Glasses, too, even when they are fitted perfectly. The material for most buffs is stretchier than a headband so it doesn’t seem to put pressure on my skull.

Huh. Well, I trusted an article on works by Iranian authors that seemed legit but that I don’t remember where it was. Let me see what I can find.
ETA I’ve only read onE
ETA 2 : the original French was four volumes, then the english translation was two, then the Complete Persepolis, which is what I read, is the whole thing. That’s all in the Wikipedia article if you scroll down, but I found it first at the library of Congress.
