Do any of you have any sure-fire suggestions as to keeping ones hair in a bun until the owner of the hair wishes to remove the pins, and not the hair itself?
Start with 'day-old' hair, not freshly washed. It won't be so dry and difficult to keep in place. Styling products don't do much for me, other than make my hair feel gunky, but we all have different kinds of hair.
When my hair was waist length, I usually started with a ponytail. That kept the mass of hair in place, and I could wrap the tail more easily. If it started to come out, I could re-wrap it quickly starting with the ponytail again. Try different kinds of pins. I was using standard 2" bobby pins, until I discovered some super large 3" ones that work better. I can lose a 2" bobby pin in the back of my head, my hair is so thick.
If your hair is different lengths you'll need a lot more pins to hold all the shorter wisps on the side of your head. I tend to keep my hair all one length to make it easier to put up. Don't be afraid to use a lot of pins, that's why they come in packs of 100.
