    No, I don't think so. The few times I tried ended in failure.

    Yes I can Sometimes it slides out but more often than not I can.

    I can, but it's too heavy so it just slips down after a minute. If I tie a ponytail and then do it, it stays a bit longer.

    I can but it slips out as soon as I let go of the tail.

    Sure, but it slides out in a minute. Plenty of length, just too slippy!

    I don't think I can do a bun with the ends tucked in, but I wear knots in several ways. I could wear knots as a half-up style long before I could put all my hair into one knot. There's a picture in my album. (It has pins for decoration, but I can do it without cheating too.)
    Another style I wear often has about 2/3 of the hair tied in a knot, with the remaining hair divided into two sections. Then I cross one section over and under the other (like the step right before the bow in tying shoelaces), then bring the sections around the knot on opposite sides, cross them again at the top of the knot, and pull them snug. It holds better for me than a full knot, probably because my hair's still kind of short.

    I used to be able to tie my hair in a knot when it was a little bit shorter. At my current length, my hair is too heavy and pulls right out of the knot. I am even having trouble keeping my hair in buns with hair sticks at this length. I think it's time to invest in some longer hair sticks, but that's a different topic.

    Yes, I can. Twist it into a cinnabun and cram the end behind it into the center. Stays quite well.

    I'll try to get a photo

    I can do it, just. But it slides right out when I move my head

    I tries this a few times when my hair was longer, but it always came undone.
