Posting for traffic.

I’m looking for your opinions on a (possibly!) new project. Those of you with long hair, what problems do you face with umbrellas?

Would you use an umbrella that was slightly longer and wider at the back, so that when you held the umbrella upright, or slightly titled at the back, it would still keep your longer hair dry?

If so, what would you be willing to pay for it?

Are there any other problems you have with them?

Thanks for your help I really appreciate it!!

Tuck my hair in - otherwise it goes frizzy.

It's a non issue.

My hair is long enough for me to sit on and I can honestly say it has never got wet using an umbrella.

Never owned, used nor ever considered using a brolly 😆

Hate umbrealla, wish they would ban them. Bloody dangerous things that people seem to insist they need to try to poke my eyes out with.

People don't use umbrellas here, generally. Too windy.

But anything that makes umbrellas and more likely to attack the person walking behind is bad thing imo.

Another hair tucker here, also another person who usually wears a hooded jacket.

I tuck mine in.

Tuck my hair in or use a hood or the Fulton birdcage umbrella

When I had long hair the bane of my life weatherwise was wind. Wasn't that bothered about rain.

DD, whose hair is about 40 inches long, prefers to let the weather do its worst!
