My favorite is Suave Freeze Finish Hair Spray. (Professionals Freeze Hold Finishing Non-Aerosol Hair Spray) It leaves the hair very, very secure, but not overly crunch and it still looks natural! We got a whole bunch of sample bottles a long time ago, and they've lasted well. One bottle got stuck to the counter when it leaked. ;-) It's known as hair glue around here!
Also, for that slick, fly away hair (I worked with some tonight, actually!) try it when it's at the 'filthy' stage, or at least when it's wet. It also can be in the technique - I've gotten hair into buns that nobody has ever though possible before. The first pin has to almost hold the entire thin (important on any updo) and then the rest are just security.

It's sticky and even holds my fly away hair. (It does get "crunchy", though.) :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 3:06 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] Hair I'd be dee-lighted to hear the solution to this problem, since I have it too. My hair is fine but plentiful, and nothing I've tried seems able to hold it in place for more than 10 minutes. Argh! In fact, back in the 80s, my hair wouldn't even hold a perm for more than a week or two. I've considered the french braid thing, but haven't tried it for years--my hair may be long enough again that it'd work now (~3 inches past waist). Which leads to my other problem: since I'm growing out my hair sans trimming, I now have about 6 inches of natural layering (and split ends), which means that when I try to hide the ends of my braids, they poke out all over the place and look awful. It seems like the french braid idea would make it even harder to hide the ends, since there really wouldn't be any place to tuck them out of sight. Any bright ideas? -E House _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume -- No virus found in this incoming message.
