advice needed re: glasses/hair

Haircut?

Won't help with sweat, tho....if anything, lack of hair makes it worse, as there's nothing to catch sweat....hence, a headband or bandanna.

As for fog, I tried a million things and then just gave up. I fence without my glasses. I don't need them for distance so much so I can get away with it.

I do have to say, however, that my X-change sabre mask is the most well ventilated mask I have ever worn. When my old LP epee mask gets beyond maintenance, I'll get one for epee as well.

I was wearing headsweats wayyyyyyy before they became trendy, for I am the antithesis of trendy.

In fact, Headsweats sales will now plummet as it has been revealed that I use them....

folks, I need your help...I am a relative noob (foil), with a lot of
curly hair...I also wear glasses...I have rec specs, and/but I need a
way to keep my hair out of my face (it's not really long enough for a pony
tail) and keep the glasses in place (those elastic thingies don't really work,
and I'm holding everybody up messing with it, just so I can see),
when I have to take off/put on my mask repeatedly.
anyone use a snood or balaclava?

Any advice would be appreciated!
thanks.

...anyone use a snood or balaclava?

I personally use a Thneed.

Snood is a verb in Australia. It's what i do with my wife.
Balaklavas are for skiing and unorthodox bank withdrawals.

I wear my glasses while fencing and just put on my mask as others have described - chin in first. It is not really a problem at all.
