Waist | Hip | BCL | Tailbone

[Delenn]

I also think around tailbone length most people have to start thinking of other styles to do with their hair.
I know for me that lately my go-to every day style of a modified cinnamon bun has started to give me troubles.
It takes me 3 or 4 tries to get it up smooth and sturdy, as before I could just literally just throw it up in a couple seconds and be out the door.

You will be suprised at how quickly you get to tailbone though, once you get a bit past waist.

Tell me about it! I've been having issues getting a regular cinnamon bun to stay put so I've been doing a braided bun pretty much every day because it's quick. I've definitely reached an in-between stage in that department, and can you believe I have yet to be able to do a figure-8? My hair is just so darned thick!

Delenn, a figure-8 may not help you unfortunately. I can do them, but my hair always ends up sliding out after about 4 hours. Which of course I do them with a hair stick, maybe if I had a Ficaare it would hold longer, I dunno?

As for doing a Figure-8, if your familiar with a "bee butt bun", you wrap it up, then take the last coil and pull it up and over to form the "8" and then slide your stick through.
An infinity works the same way, 'cept it looks like a sideways 8.
Someone may have a tutorial here for them, but I haven't done a search since we lost the old forum.

I'm thinking maybe a log roll would be quicker and easier, I know OhioLisa has a tutorial for those on her blog, which I just found a couple days ago.
So I think I'm going to start practicing and see if I can get it down. Maybe it will hold all day?

I hope you find something soon that works for you, especially with summer coming up.
