Not sure on the physics here, but two long hairsticks crossing in an X and catching the hair close to the scalp will hold my hair tight and not come out. Other arrangements do come out after a few hours. (Also, thinking about it, some of it is because with long hair sticks you can get good leverage when you're placing it--it's hard to describe but you basically weave the stick back and forth between the bun and the hair close to the scalp. If it's tighter there, then the friction holds the stick better and the whole thing stays up better.) | |

| Jun 22, 2022 at 14:14 | comment | added | user3067860 | @LorenPechtel If the sticks don't stick out a little bit then the edge hair just falls right off and eventually the whole thing falls apart. You can use a hair fork and then one side doesn't have to stick out, and if you curve it then the other side goes past the bun but is at least flat to the head. Alternatively, you can bun it with no sticks temporarily, just by twisting and tucking the end in, and then put something over top (helmet) to secure it, then it's easier/harder to let down depending on how you secure whatever is holding it. A leather aviator helmet with extra space would work. | |
