Welding hood with long hair?

[infinite97]

What do y’all with long hair do when you’re welding? Every time I lean forward, the hood slips off. Really annoying.

I got a new hard hat with a chin strap, but haven’t found a welding hood with one yet

I decided the negatives outweighed the positives, so I joined the mainstream and started getting haircuts.

You can't weld a hood...
or trunk or door, etc. with hair. You have to use welding rod or wire.....

Put it in a pony tail and have the ratcheting strap below the pony tail. Hood isn't going nowhere unless it takes your hair with it.

Switch to a pancake hood or cut the hair.

Cover head with bandana or welding beanie, then put on welding hood.

Contact KANEKID. I think he puts his hair in a bun and wears a ball cap backwards.

Haven’t ever saw one with long hair.

What does long hair have to do with your hood coming off? I have short hair and it is still clamped to my head on my hair.

These 2 have worked for me for the last 20 years

Funny--64-year-old long-haired wierdo hippie freak here, and I've never had that problem. Last had a haircut in '89, so I have some experience working with long hair.

Hair's always tied back in a ponytail when working, of course. Saw a kid get his hair tangled in a metal lathe back in HS shop class. He was strong enough to keep from getting his face pulled into the four-jaw chuck, but got about half-scalped.

The guys saying beanie, welding cap or backwards cap are spot on...I favor the beanie or thin buff (gator). My welding hood slips if I don't, also messes up my pony tail and I get fly aways. It's annoying.

I cut my hair when I became a welder due to frequent fires. Nothing like the acrid smell of burning hair to interrupt your concentration.

Do you got to wear a hard hat? Get one that has a strap and accepts accessories

 

[hiccup]

I know how you feel..I let my hair grow out every fall and winter and you can't get the band tight enough..interested in hearing the solution

For half the world's population having long hair is the norm.

I fought that battle over a fifty year period starting in the mid sixties and didn’t give up until a few years ago.

Nice to have the welding helmet stay on, and not to run over one’s hair with the creeper.

Same with facial hair. Nice to not be eternally itchy.

i keep my hair in a pony tail, never had an issue with the helmet slipping off.
