hey long haired folx: how do you keep your bangs out of your eyes?
okay okay let me be clear
my bangs are long enough to cover my eyes and go down to my nose. i want them to not do those things. that's what im working with
very important update: hair clips work super well and also this is the most femme i have EVER looked and i kind of really love it??? ;;
(selfie, ec)
this is unexpectedly validating aaaaa
@typhlosion ponytail and a cap
a literal cat 
@typhlosion@awoo.space the only way is not having bangs tbh
@InspectorCaracal i tried the mullet look for about five minutes in a barbershop once. never again
@typhlosion@awoo.space lmao I go the other way, just grow them out
@typhlosion@awoo.space more helpfully, though, hair clips
I usually use snap clips, they're uh... let me get a pic
@typhlosion@awoo.space these
They're REALLY easy to use, but you can't grab a huge chunk of hair with them - shouldn't be a problem for bangs
@InspectorCaracal @typhlosion@awoo.space those are my favorite forever; I even have multitool set!
@typhlosion@awoo.space I also use elastic fabric headbands for when I'm doing something more physically intensive like washing a floor, or when I need to go out on an errand and don't have spoons for hair styling
@typhlosion I grow my hair long enough to tuck behind my ears, but that kinda goes against the concept of bangs, perhaps
@typhlosion bandanna, hair ties, eventually it gets long enough that it just stays there
@typhlosion (also after you wear a bandanna for a while your hair will start taking that shape naturally, for better or for worse)
@typhlosion Hat or ponytail, usually. If not this, prayer
@typhlosion long bangs
@typhlosion Absurdly Long Hair is still long hair
@typhlosion also I misunderstood the question sorry
@typhlosion@awoo.space that's the "grow them out" solution! 8D
Also if you're getting wildly different answers, part of that is that "long hair" when socialized masc versus fem mean completely different things
@InspectorCaracal okay valid yeah
@typhlosion@awoo.space headbands, def headbands
You can buy like a multi pack of headbands at a supermarket for like, five bucks or something
@InspectorCaracal headbands are a strong suggestion, especially if i can put buttons on them
im gonna try hair clips and bobby pins first though. i need something i can wear in an office setting (NB: im masc presenting but don't really care about keeping it that way)
@typhlosion@awoo.space the classic Anime Boy Studying Clip is one of my fave looks https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/09/fe/0d09fe8dc245b83b8dfdda1aaf2893eb.jpg
@typhlosion@awoo.space nah but clipping/pinning your hair to the side is probably the easiest
@InspectorCaracal @typhlosion just be aware that if you do this, you'll no longer be able to walk through walls
@typhlosion yesssss keep goinggg
@rezzish waaaaah
i kinda want to paint my nails sometime...
@typhlosion oh my gosh yes paint your nails. that's such an easy way to get more of that ~rush~ you're seeking
@typhlosion hair clips are so good I wish I could send you my collection!!!
@shoofle theyre really nice... thinking about a decorated one... or even just a purple one tbh
@typhlosion I wore so many barrettes in college when I was being a genderfucky boy... They were so fun and cute! These days if my hair is long enough to need them, it's usually too thick to wear them :( maybe I should bundle together some of mine and mail them to you??
@shoofle omg... that'd be so kind of you ;_; i dont know if i could accept a gift like that, aa
@typhlosion poke me tomorrow and I'll go through my barrette drawer and see if there's some I could part with!!
@shoofle waaaaah ;w; <3 i will if i dont forget
@typhlosion@awoo.space heck yeah snap clips!
@InspectorCaracal i love them... i actually had these yesterday, and tbh i had no idea how they worked until you posted a picture and one of them had the thing flipped and i was like "ohhhhh"
@typhlosion@awoo.space i'm 100000% sure this is why all snap clip product images include an image of one of them open xD
@typhlosion heckin cutie <3
@typhlosion Let it go long enough that it can be brushed back or to the side.
@typhlosion grow it out longer and tie it back.
There's an awful middle ground of length that I don't really know what to do with.
@starkatt @typhlosion A hairband might help? Never tried it though.
@Felthry @typhlosion doesn't work for the awkward middle length.
how the fuck do y'all put your bangs in a ponytail that's the opposite side of your head
