Have you tried the Cheater's hairstick bun (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=25145)? It's my personal go-to style. Even with my layers, it's comfortable and really secure!

So I am not sure what shrinkage is, but I have barely, not quite apl hair that is very thick and have found that I can do alot of double buns. Either stacking the like this: http://rapunzelsresource.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/double-bun-updo-both-video-and-picture-intructions/
or doing one bun on each side. I like to make by cinnabuns high: more powerpuff girl, less Princess Leia. I also really like double infinity buns (http://community.livejournal.com/longhair/2014065.html), low and back with a stick. Or you can do an infinity and a figure eight and cross them.
You can also easily do a sock bun at this length, a gibson tuck, a french roll, or a crown braid.
Check this style link post (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?p=259752#post259752) for instructions for all of these
