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

Mine stays in a bun better if it's slightly dirty - much more slippery if it's clean. Would a hairnet spoil the effect you want? Patty From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Gilbert Sent: Wed 12/12/2007 5:07 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] OT

Do any of you have any sure-fire suggestions as to keeping ones hair in a bun I have to admit I'm one of those disgusting ones whose hair stays in a bun pretty much by itself (can't braid it though because the cohesion is too much). _However_, if you put the hair in a pony tail first and then

The best trick i have is to section your hair. first make a part in the hair from ear to ear, and take the back hair and make a bun. the front hair you divide in 2 at where you want a part, then take each section and wind it around the bun and pin well. It holds for me, and I got super smooth

Marjorie, I use hair sticks rather than hair pins. My hair is very long and very thick, so regular bobby pins I can get at the local stores are totally useless. I prefer the sturdy metal and wood to the plastic. I also prefer the two-prong sticks to the singles. You can get short and plain

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
