hair hangs/falls/dangles
Hi, there

If I want to say my hair is blocking my view, hanging loosely, should I say

"My hair/fringe hangs down my face/eyes"
"My hair/fringe hangs over/on my face/eyes"
"My hair/fringe dangles down my face/eyes"
"My hair/fringe dangles over my face/eyes"
"My hair/fringe falls down/ove/on my face/eyes"

Do any sound idiomatic?

Thank you

Answer

Dangle - no.
Hangs - yes.
Falls - yes, most romantic.

Answer

I'd definitely go with "falls". "My hair falls over my eyes" or "My fringe falls over my eyes".
