Baseball cap/hairstick bun success!

I remember having an awful time bunning under a cap when I worked at a grocery store. Yours looks lovely!

Thank you. I got a new cap on sale at academy sports store. This time, the cap has no hole. I just Cinnabun low, fork across the middle. My hair is ii, and tailbone.

I think this will work. Will try out in the real world tomorrow.

Wow! Very cool guys, never thought before how to wear a baseball cap with a bun.

What a great idea! When it warms up here I'll try that with some hats I own that have cutouts for ponies. Even with my sparse hair, at hip it's too much to work well going through the smaller holes. And then there isn't much area to anchor to. Thanks for sharing your brilliance, WD!

You're welcome!

I definitely like the caps with the hole at the back better than the fitted ones for the combo of hat + bun. Here, I did a Pansy Bun and it suits this style nicely.

That bun is gorgeous! And your hairstick looks fantastic with your hair color!

Wow, what a great idea, WD!

One question: is there any tangling from top of the bun overlapping on strap during athletic activities, or is it OK? (I just find that my hair doesn't like rubbing against any textiles (on collars, scarves, hats...), but I've never tried this bun-over-strap structure...)

Excellent idea for keeping cap secured on head, WD.

Could use a DIY silk sheath for the strap, maybe.

It doesn't move much, but I am not being super athletic. Mostly hiking, or shooting. (Shooting instructor noticed and gave more than once a thumbs up on the deadly things she noticed I always wear in my hair haha. With that being said, this works woth a ficcare too, I just discovered).

My hair is not that heavy, and I have noticed nothing in terms of tangles with this method. But then again, it's oiled well at the moment.
