Where do I put my long hair?
« on: Mar 09, 2024, 09:05 AM »
I am new here and I am trying to figure out how to hide my long hair somehow.
Previously with my cardboard kit I made, the bucket was very large so I would do Princess-Leia-esque milkmaid braids to keep it hidden, but there isn’t enough room for that in my new black series dw helmet, which is unfortunate because I loved the look when I took my helmet off.  :( (my hair was also considerably shorter then)
My hair is waist length, straight, and about medium thickness. I am thinking about braiding it in one long, loose braid and having it tucked underneath my flight suit and wear a balaclava on top, but I am nervous that it will either make me really warm and uncomfortable with the hair on the back of my neck or it will look weird and bulky under the flight suit. I don’t really want to have it visible, I would appreciate some advice from fellow long-haired mandos!  :)

While I'm a guy, I too have long hair. I simply wear mine in a low ponytail at the nape of my neck and let it hang down behind my back. You could also do like the character Vhonte Tervho and wear your hair in a pair of braids:

I would do it but in my village everyone knows me as "the one with the long hair" and if I go with my braids out of the armor they recognize me immediately  :porg2:

I also think that I would be a little too recognizable for my liking if I had my hair out of my helmet in braids.
Also, I was wondering if I applied for OM without my hair showing and got accepted, and then had it down in braids at an event, would that not be allowed? I don’t know if you have to keep your hair the same as your app.

I've seen braids a lot in OM kits while trooping.  As far as not showing vs showing I'll liken it to a beard.  Beards can show in the front of helmets.  If someone were to shave off their beard it would still be the same kit.

Fair warning I like to take pictures and I've written a novel, so be prepared for both.

Now that I think about it, we didn't say that wecould simply hide under a cloak, to make them disappear completely, however,we would need to have a collar that covers the gap on the back of your neck, in case the cloak doesn't work.

To be clear, the extended part of the collar would go down a few centimeters respectively in the yellow quadrant, arriving just below where the cape begins (red quadrant) and then the rest of the work would be done by the latter.
I've never thought about it but I think I'll give it a try
