Fake hair bun fall? As long as she can figure out how to attach a fake bun, and as long as you can attach stuff to a fake hair bun…

I use a kind of elastic that is labeled "no-slip", I think made by Scunci. It is constructed from a flatter elastic, and has a line of silicone around the inside, and they really stay put. But my hairpiece is on a velcro wrap, and also attached to a ribbon, so once I get my own hair into a little ponytail, I wrap the long piece in place and wrap and tie it on. It stays securely. But 1-2" is really short, and I doubt she could make ponytails at all.

My cowrie falls are on tiny jaw clips, and they hold well, too, but we're back to the very short hair. Anything she attaches will probably fall to the sides and expose her short hair, so I'm not sure what to suggest, aside from learning to work with what she has and maybe attaching a couple long dangly pieces. I like the mini jaw clips, and toupee clips.

I have taken the easy way out; I use a braided wig that I have added beads, cowrie falls right into the braids themselves and I sewed in a headband with a beautiful tribal piece. This way, there will be no issues when performing, no slippage whatsoever, no matter what movement I am doing; spinning, back bends, etc.

You might peruse the Short Belly Hair tribe, as they've probably already come across this issue before: tribes.tribe.net/shortbellyhair

I have a very short bob and had even shorter hair before. I create small ponytails or a single ponytail and build on that. I can get a lot of falls on behind the elastic band. To create a smooth look and to hide all the short bits that I can't get into the bands I either use a tribal band or gel my hair smooth.

Before I had enough hair to pull back and add fun things to, I made yarn falls and attached them to a head band. Then covered the part where the head band met my real hair with a folded bandana that I decorated with shells and such. I haven't moved some of those picture onto tribe but you can check it out on myspace here viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm

It was kindof heavy...but I liked the way it looked and it worked for me. :) Hope that helps!
