I find the best way to keep my hair anchored in the bun or twist is to use either a foam mousse or hairspray before putting it up. Otherwise, it just slides right out no matter how many pins I use.
Generally I find the best method for dry hair is to bend over and hang my head down, comb the hair from the nape and lightly spray all through. Then gather it up, twisting as I go, coil it around and pin down. I use the mousse when I have just washed my hair and it is still slightly wet. My hair is currently slightly below waist length. I don't know how this would work on shorter hair, mine has never been shorter than shoulderblade length and was once almost knee length. --- Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I had a book signing recently.
