Hi, I am neither stylish nor beautiful so don't normally frequent these threads. However, I'd be very grateful to you beautiful stylists for advice on how to keep my hair out of my face without a hairband, elastic bands or hairpins, as there are none in the house. I usually have a short haircut, with a layered fringe that sweeps out over my ears, and I was due to go the hairdressers for a trim (my hair grows very fast) about 6 weeks ago, but decided not to as I was already thinking of the risks of not socially/physically distancing myself (I'm in a vulnerable category or two). My fringe is now almost permanently in my eyes and I'm trying to find a video which will show me how to tie a tie or a belt to make a hairband to keep my hair out of my eyes so I don't have to keep pushing it back and touching my face. I am useless at doing my hair, can't even blow-dry it into shape, so need something basic and simple. Thank you so much in advance for any pointers you might give me! All the best to everyone, stay safe and well!

Have you thought about just giving your hair a trim?

@VaggieMight - thank you, you are my saviour! I have finally found an old knee-high pop sock thing and worked out how to do it (being a bear of very little brain), and my hair is well off my face! The band is quite tight, though, due to my extremely fat head! Anyhow, that is definitely the best solution, thank you for the suggestion!
For those who blithely suggest I should trim my fringe myself, please see photo attached, which is how I would look if I tried it! (I would also doubtless be in hospital having damaged my eyes with the scissors!)

I saw a similar video to this on insta a few days ago. Just make sure you stretch the cut piece of T-shirt a lot. It does look nice and hopefully it will help you.
