Q&A for How to Hide in Plain Sight

It depends on how you normally wear your hair. If your hair is normally worn down, tie it up in a ponytail, braided ponytail, french braids, a single braid, or a bun. If you normally wear your hair up, keep it down. Consider using a temporary hair dye, extensions, or weave to give it some color to be even more unrecognizable.

There are many reasons you may want to hide in a given situation. Broadly speaking, most people want to hide in fear of the negative repercussions of being found.

Because what to wear, how to look, and how to act will all depend up the time, event/occasion. For example, you wouldn't want to wear pearls and a dress while at a skating rink. They would be more suitable for a formal part, etc.

Anywhere that is dense and busy is perfect for hiding. Wide-open spaces are poor hiding areas, as it's much easier to spot someone out.

It should be pretty easy. Duck behind people and try to blend in with the environment. For example, if you are at a dance party, don't run, that will make you obvious and way too easy to spot. Just dance into the crowd. Participate in group activities, especially ones that don't include the person. Try other things, like changing your clothes/appearance as well.

Wear your normal clothes. Don’t try to act like a teenager or adult. Maybe pretend you have different interests then you normally would. There are hair dyes that wash out after a day and still look real, too. Do not try to do this alone in a city. This will draw attention because you are young and others will think you are lost. Ask an older friend or sibling (one that could look responsible for your well-being) to help with your disguise.

People hide from the police most often because they do not want to face the consequences of whatever they have done.

Don't. If you try to run and they catch you, you will face potential charges of resisting arrest, which will be even worse for you. If you do somehow get away at first, when you get caught, you will face greater consequences for what you've done.

If you're hiding in a more casual enviorment, having a more slouched posture might help you seem a bit shorter, and if you don't normally slouch, it will help you look different.

Camouflage should work. You could also hide in or behind bushes, trees, or tall grass.

Quickly run away to get to a busy crowd. Make sure you have extra disguises to change into but be sure to change into them in a place were people will not notice, like a bathroom or behind a tree.

If you're a small person and can move to operate the mechanism, then yes. If not, then no. Also beware of the locker toppling over; if it's not connected to the wall, this is a risk.

If you don't normally wear makeup, it may be a good idea to. If you want to knock back/gain a few years, makeup can help with that as well. But you do not have to if you don't have to, especially if you do other things (e.g. putting on a hat if you don't normally, dressing differently fom how you would usually, doing your hair differently, etc.).

You can try wearing high heels if you are female. You can also wear clothing that looks mature, but not very big on you to look like you are slightly taller than you are. It is also best if you try and blend in with people who are short.

You can try to disguise yourself with the different tips above. Or you can try to blend in and avoid harsh colors and bright jewelry. Don't approach the person, they might recognize close-up. Instead, maintain a good distance from that person but don't try to run away if they notice you. Look behind you and pretend you are saying hello to someone. This is a good trick because most people recognize other people by their facial features.
