keeping dreads out of face

hay ,
i have dreads and i cant just tuck my hair behind my ears. Sometimes i put it up in a bandana,pony tail, or pigtails but it flattens some of them. any ideas for a gentle way to keep my hair outa my face? i cant stand it, especially when im eating. its too short to pull the few peices in the front back( its above my shoulders).

thanks for any ideas

luv

Lauren

 

get a wide headband! it'll look cool too!

 

headbands, big hats... ?

 

headsocks, or a tam perhaps! Or if they are long enough you can use chopsticks(headsticks) in a "bun" of sorts

 

find a huge t-shirt and cut the sleeve off...and use that as a headband.

 

yum, dreads

 

I have the same problem I know all the things 'bout headbands, tams etc (and I do have them) but when I need them they're nowhere to find

But why don't you visit the knotty know-how forum:

i think putting them back in a ponytail looks the best...better than letting them hang (just my opinion)....all your options have been said so take your pick....or.....CHOP EM!! haha

 

buy a hat from catmagic

 

Eh up.

I have a similar problem - not dreads, but lots of curly hair. I've found that a buff (in headband form) works really well and doesn't look too absurd.

I hope you find something that works, mate.

Peace,

i used to tie them onto longer ones temporairlyand pull them back and tie all the dreadies together instead of using a hair tie

 

Not sure if anyone is still looking, but I have some headwraps and tams on my page. I also take custom orders!!!

The taste makes me gag. So no, not really. In my ass or on my face please.

 

Talk about a real necrophiliac!!

 

Yes I do. What a waste if you don't!
