    Default not completely center held LWB

    Does anyone else do a LWB this way? I push the stick THROUGH the other side of the loop, instead of out the other side of the Center. I find it holds better and more comfortably, easily all day.

    Yep. I'm wearing one that way today.

    Only thing is I need to twist the outer loop a little. Otherwise, wisps of hair that aren't behind the stick/fork/whatever tend to fall out.

    I twist mine a little too, but it seems to require less twisting as my hair gets longer/more tapered. I put ficcares in this way too, and flexis if they're XL. For some reason a bun this way seems a lot more stable/balanced/even weight distribution than a center held bun.

    I do mine like that, except more vertical than horizontal (the whole bun).

    Going for terminal, but also enjoying wearing my hair down and curly.

    Sometimes my stick or fork just ends up in the last loop instead of the center. Your tools have to be pretty bendy and your LWB is going to end up really tight if you end up going through the very center perfectly.

    Alternatively, you make the LWB looser. I learned with some relatively fragile hairtoys, so I don't torque my buns.
