Hello! I need some advice. http://www.network54.com/images/happy.gif
Right now I am working at a job that is very strenuous and it is causing repetitive motion injury to my arms and hands. I have been given an opportunity to work in a bakery, but the thing that makes me balk is the hair nets.
My hair right now is very thick, very fine, and past my waist.
As I discovered in a previous food preparation job, whenever I have to put my hair up in a bun so it can fit in the hair net (even with a smooth hair stick) my hair tends to snap and break right where it enters the bun. I held that job (at a school) for a month, and I had a horrible hair 'halo' of broken hair at the end of it, and I DON'T want to go through that again - but I can't stay at my current job.
SO, long explanation aside, is there any hope for me? Is there such a thing as a long-hair-hair-net that will contain my long braid if it's just coiled up and stuffed in the net? Is there any gentle, simple hair style or braid that will get it all up with no breakage?
I have been considering this problem for a very long time, and I still don't know what to do, so Thanks so much for any advice!!
