As someone with long hair, and someone who untill recently had much longer
hair (Just donated 14''!!!), my time as a mechanic has been tough. I've
learned a while ago that orange tossle caps are the way to go. Get them
right after hunting season, i've paid as little as ten cents a piece. They
will gradually become black with grease. But, they keep that crap out of
your hair, and your hair out of the  things that move.
PUT A HAT ON!

Plus the orange looks slick.
