Do you tuck your hair behind your ears?

**bigdreamer** · September 5th, 2009, 10:08 AM

I'm wondering how many of you tuck your hair behind your ears and specifically what your reasons are for tucking or not tucking (if you have any!) Also if you tuck when wet or only after your hair is dry.

Some reasons for tucking or not tucking might be that you hate the way it feels, or you think your ears are too big, or you think it's just not good for your hair, etc. If you do tuck, is it because you like the way your hair dries when tucked, or you can't stand it hanging in your face or whatever.

I understand that many of you put it up right away and it's not an issue, so I was hoping to hear about when it is left down.

Thanks much for checking in!

I tuck my bangs behind my ears when I am working because they fall over my eyes and annoy me

I tuck, but I wish I didn't. I think my hair looks much nicer when hanging down in front, but tucking is just an automatic reaction when ever I see it dangling in my peripheral vision.

I don't tuck it, because my ears stick out and look ugly without my hair covering them.

I do if my hair is down. It's a lifelong habit I've had.

Nope, I dont' like the way my ears look. So I don't wear it down that often because it gets in my way.

Yep, all the time. I have little whispies that like to escape, so they're always getting tucked back.

I tuck my front layers behind my ears. Otherwise they get in the way: I get them in my eyes, my mouth, and I spit on them when I brush my teeth. Not very nice.

I only tuck my hair behing my ears when I am at home, or when I am doing something like studying, driving or something that requires me to be comfortable, not pretty

I have very big ears so I would never do that if there wasn't a very good reason to do it.

I normally don't tuck it when wet, mostly because I don't like the feeling (cold and wet behind the ears, no thanks).

When dry, if it's loose, I usually tuck at least one side. I think it's prettier when it hangs loose, but at the same time, it easily gets in the way, hinder my vision and so on, especially since I don't have any bangs.
