I was playing with my hair as it dried last Wednesday and came up with a new updo. Further speculation proved it to be rather similar to spidermom's bun-that-stays, though doable on shorter hair, so I'm not sure if it actualy constitutes a new bun or not. It isn't as polished as spidermom's bun, but I like to think it looks fun and playful rather than messy :p. Anyway, here are my photographic instructions for it.
First, gather hair into a ponytail (this didn't really need a picture, did it?):

Bring the hair up and wrap it around your fingers:

If I'm using a shorter stick, I'll only wrap the hair around my index and middle fingers rather than the whole hand. If you have shorter hair this might work better than wrapping it round the whole hand.
Next, wrap the tail around the base of the loop:

Split the loop in two and fold the right half to the left and the left half to the right:

Secure by placing the stick in one loop, under the middle, and out the other loop:

This style is secure and very comfortable; I've worn it almost every day since I created it.
