How do you wear your glasses with long hair?

I just saw this sponsored ad of Monopoly Go on Facebook and the way this woman wears her glasses makes me feel funny and now I need to know if anyone else does this and why? I hate the feeling of having my hair trapped down the back of my top or in my glasses like this 😂

I don’t know what’s happening with her left eye. I can see eyebrow? So it’s not down the back of the glasses. Is that the bit you mean?

The arms go under my hair, never over it like that.

I only wear mine for reading, but god no I couldn't bear my hair under the arms like that!

What an odd way to wear glasses.
Mine go under my hair

Isn't that the quirky lady from a previous Bake Off?
I would never do that, it's weird and would feel all wrong. I tend to have mine on top of my head, or an arm tucked into my neckline or on a string thing depending on the glasses I'm wearing (some slip off). If they are on my face, I wear them in the normal manner.

I thought it was the lady off Bake Off too! I definitely wear mine under my hair.

It is Kim Joy from Bake Off. I love her but I could not do that with my hair, it would feel weird!

Arms always under my hair, that looks really annoying!

Yes! She says right at the beginning of the video that she was on Bake Off and wrote a cook book.

No the arms of her glasses are over her hair!

I always have my hair up if I’ve got my glasses on, I don’t think it looks right with the hair down.

Cheeesus · 17/09/2023 14:04

Oh! I thought you meant the front and her fringe.

Yes the arm is weird. As with sunglasses, I’d put the hair on top.

pizzaHeart · 17/09/2023 14:06

it very unusual, neither I nor DD ever wore glasses like this and I never saw anyone who wore glasses like this. For one reason that it’s more slippery.
I wouldn’t say it’s weird as maybe she has some sort of sensory issues or problems with her ears that’s why.

UnravellingTheWorld · 17/09/2023 14:06

I have never in my life worn glasses like that

pizzaHeart · 17/09/2023 14:08

By the way is it her real hair? Maybe not and she needs to hold them in place.

Mine too.

Clefable · 17/09/2023 14:32

Under hair but sometimes at home in the evenings my ears get a bit sore from having glasses on all day and wearing them over my hair like this gives them a bit of a rest! Never when out and about though!

mrssanchez · 17/09/2023 16:27

Just tried it, looks and feels seriously weird!
