I finally got a job about a month and a half ago, working at a coffee shop. And it's wonderful and I honestly enjoy my job, but there's one thing I still have trouble with, and that's my hair at work. For health code reasons, we're required at all times to wear a baseball cap (it's that or a hairnet) when behind the counter. However, due to company policy, we have to take off said cap when we go outside for a break, go in the back to wash dishes, or if we use the restroom.
So for the past month and a half, I've been wearing my hair in an English braid for every shift, due to lack of inspiration. On the plus side, it's done wonders for stretching washes, because I can cover any oily scalp and the rest of it's in a braid so any oil is only going to help keep things neat. On the down side, I am getting a bit tired of the same style every day.
What I'm wondering though is if there are other options that I'm overlooking. Because I'm repeatedly taking the hat on and off, anything meant to stick through the opening in the back of the hat where the head-size-adjuster-thing is pretty much out of the question, or I'd just do a bun as soon as I got to work and put the hat on. So it basically has to be a style that can be worn very low and can be held with either an elastic or with pins (I do have spin pins, and absolutely love them).
I've tried a cinnabun, which ended up being just a bit too wide. Side buns look nice, but are never quite secure enough for some reason.
