Please stop sucking on your hair.

My son likes his hair long and wants to keep it that way, but I can't stand it being in his mouth all the time. He wears a wide headband and that used to help, until his hair got long enough that it goes over the top of the headband and into his mouth. He will not wear a ponytail, braid, bun, or any other style besides a headband. His hair seems to grow forward into his face, no matter how we comb it.

Our agreement is that he can choose the hairstyle he wants and look the way he wants to, with the one limit that it can't be in his mouth, eyes, or face. But he's six, so that's hard! I'd like to find some hairstyle options that would allow him to have long hair but keep it out of his face. Bangs? Face-framing layers? Something I haven't thought of? Haircuts and styles that would typically be considered "girl hair" seem to be his preference. He has blond, fine, straight hair.

Please suggest cuts or styles that might help solve this problem. Bonus points for photos, videos, or how-tos that show me how to do the haircut - I'm not very skilled but I used to cut his hair before he grew it long, and I would prefer to avoid salons until Omicron has eased up. Right now, his hair is a lot of different lengths, with the shortest layer below his chin and the longest past his shoulders. (He had a sort of typical toddler "boy" haircut and it has just been growing for a year and a half.)
