A few years ago, I had a terrible haircutting accident that resulted in a most unfortunate mullet. I tried various ways of camouflaging the mullet — headbands, scarves, hats, hiding my head inside a pillowcase — without much success. Finally, I came to the realization that if I ever hoped to look normal again, I’d have to cut off my hair and start all over again, and so, just two days before my 30th birthday, I got the shortest pixie cut ever. It’s been nearly 2 ½ years since that fateful day, and after a few brief pit stops at various short styles, my hair is finally long enough again that I can worry about getting it in food while I eat. Thankfully, rather than go back to my short cut, there’s this handy dandy Noodle Eater’s Hair Guard that will effectively keep my hair out of my lunch. Sure, I could just wear a headband or pull it back, but neither of those options makes a statement quite like the Noodle Eater’s Hair Guard does, which, of course, says, “Yeah, my hair’s long now, so suck it.” [via Interior Design Boom]
