People with long hair, Have you just accepted having your hair hitchhike on your food into your mouth?
-
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?
Back when I wore it long, the problem was getting it in my pants?? How did I have that problem but not getting it in my mouth

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.

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.

I have adopted a somewhat haughty looking stance for eating where my head is angled back just to avoid this.

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 talk with others when I eat, and while I could do this, my hair would immediately tug.

ooo, maybe I'll do the same

This wasn't a problem for me back when I had long hair but recently I was growing a wicked long mustache that was half way down my chin. The peanut butter getting all up in it every morning after my toast was getting annoying so I chopped it off.
You... didn't just suck your moustache clean?
-
No. Sometimes.
Beards are sometimes like that too.
Let's talk more about the headbands. I use the cheap elastics and haven't had an issue. Have you tried a large handkerchief?
Ooo, a handkerchief might be cute!

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.

I did but I didn't want to put that idea into peoples heads because its kinda gross. Not when I do it but thinking about other people doing it is disgusting.

Nah, I just tuck it behind my ear and eat with a weird little hunch and it's fine

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.

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.

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!
