Wow, this sounds like a good idea also. I think I am going to have to spend
some time futzing with my hair....

Subject: Re: [h-cost] OT: Keeping hair in bun
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.

Dear All,
I had a book signing recently. In preparation, I
pinned my hair up in a bun,
only to have the whole mass fall out of its pins
soon after arrival. 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?
Thank you in advance! I do love this loop...
