Today on a whim I decided to put my hair up in something like a French twist because I had a small handful of pins handy.
It worked really well -- or so it seemed. It seemed to be holding like a rock but within a little while it was drooping and coming loose from my head.
I re-did it, with a few more pins, same thing. What seems to be happening is that pins are holding the "bun" portion suprisingly intact but it the whole structure comes free from the back of my head. Weird.
(btw, I'm using Amish pins and "bobby pins" that are long and U shaped, but much more narrow than an Amish pin))
I tried once more, 14 pins (seemed like that should be overkill) and that seemed to hold. I'm not sure I want a 'do that need 14 or more pins, BUT -- I loved the way it looked!! lol
That one seemed to hold, but I didn't leave it up that long because my head was too hot lol.
I did them in all different directions in the hopes of supporting it, but somehow it just comes detached from my head (*intact* bun pierced with so many pins, but just not attached to the back of my head).
What am I doing wrong?
