Blokes, do you wear an Alice band

[Griff]

Growing my hair out at the moment and it's neither short nor long, but it's long enough to get in my face and be annoying if it's windy.

Mrs.Griff suggested a hair-band type device.

I wasn't too sure about this suggestion as a 58 year old bloke, but after a week or so of wearing one, and going out in public with one on and my barnet not blowing all over the place, I've embraced the Alice band.

Poll on the subject.

 

[MickiQ]

No I'm bald anyway what the fuck would I do with an Alice band?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I have a cat ears pair.

I used to use it when on the rowing machine as otherwise I'd get hair in my eyes.

Otherwise my ponytail handles matters.

 

[Silas Loom]

I always wear what I call antennae but I believe the young people term them “deely boppers”. Which option should I tick?

 

[Griff]

Handy on the rowing machine then.

Not sure if Christmas party accessories count, think that would be a no vote.

They serve very effectively as hair restraints, but as you wish.

 

[hash tag]

No. Until recently, if Mrs tag wasn't around, it was tied in a pony.
I gather man buns are or were trendy.

 

[Orang Utan]

Ha, I am also in need of a device to keep my hair out of my face, as sunglasses are not really that practical

 

[Griff]

Well the band has replaced sunglasses as my go to hair restraint.

Man buns don't even come into the equation.

 

[marshall]

Yes. Yes, I do, Alice bands, scrunchies, headbands, pins, sometimes down, I like to switch it up.

Try a haircut

 

[danny la rouge]

No, I have short hair. But I do have a hairband type device for earphones so I can listen to stuff in bed. Mrs LR says it makes me look like a member of Bruce Springsteen’s band. I’m not elated about that, but the practicality outweighs the pride.

 

[bellaozzydog]

A hat perhaps

 

[hash tag]

Sweatband?

 

[iona]

Only the back is long enough to need tying back and I use those tiny transparent no-snag elastics for that. If one snaps while I'm out and I don't have any spares on me I'll use a small cable tie or whatever other crap is in my pockets.

 

[Spymaster]

Absolutely not. And if I did, I'd call it an Alan band.

 

[existentialist]

I'm very lucky in the follicular department. I'm in my seventh decade, and yet my hairline has receded no more than a centimetre. OTOH, I also like to keep my hair fairly short, so a who-the-fuck-is-Alice band would be pointless.

 

[JimW]

Never did in all the years I had long hair, used to plait it as it was long enough. Short now so no need.

 

[xenon]

Get a haircut.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Long hair never wore one

Might try for a bandana at some point otherwise it’s hairband

 

[Sasaferrato]

My hair is 7mm long, what do you think?

 

[editor]

Admittedly I'm in no position to comment on hair fashion, but I think they look daft, especially on that twat Grealish.

 

[skyscraper101]

Yes I do, mainly when I'm washing my face and shaving.

 

[A380]

No, I can't grow my hair long. I want to look like Rutgar Hauer playing a viking. But I end up looking like the girl from Crystal Tips and Alistair.

So no Alice band required

You can get really thin ones that you'd barely notice. The ones I use are the 'shark tooth' kind which sort of pin your hair back but also bury themselves in the process. If you match your hair color you'd hardly know it's there.

 

[Griff]

Mrs.Griff picked up a couple of wavy type ones for me.

 

[Siouxsie]

Mr S has hair 6" or so blow his belt so I plait it every morning for him and he then puts it under a beanie when he gets to work...he's a mechanic so it could be dangerous left untethered.
He tried Alice bands a number of years ago but they wasn't strong enough to keep it controlled....maybe they have gotten better over time who knows. The shark toothed ones used to scratch his scalp, delicate bloom that he is

So good old scrunchies for him.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I used to in my long haired student days.
I do have a sweat band but I hardly wear it, plus it looks a bit daft as it shows forehead above and below now that my hairline is in decline.

 

[The39thStep]

Nope always been a short hair bloke .
