How to keep fine hair tidy all day at school

Hi all
I am going mad trying to keep my DD's hair looking tidy all day.
She has quite fine hair, so it easily slips out of hair ties. If she goes off to school with a pony, by the time I pick her up, half her hair is falling down around her face.
Any tips or styles to keep her hair looking tidy for the day?
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:30 PM
DD's school has hairbands in the school uniform fabric with elastic at the bottom. I've found this really useful in keeping DDs hair looking at least semi neat when it's in bunches or plaits. If your school doesn't run to that, a plain black lycra one would work just as well.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:31 PM
My DD's hair is exactly the same - looks messy almost as soon as I've finished doing it.
She's starting school next year so I'll be watching to see if anyone has any neat tricks (pardon the pun ).
The only things that sort of work for us are doing a half-up half-down and then pulling that back into a pony (even doing this three times IYKWIM) and also putting it up while wet and then lots of hairspray! We do this for ballet but not usually day-to-day.

If she doesn't have a fringe, try this: I grab the front middle section, pull it to one side and do a small plait, tied with one of those tiny coloured rubber band type hair ties. Then I pull it all back into a pony, including the plait which is to one side.
If I just do a pony without the plait, all the front tends to fall out around her face. And if the pony does fall out, at least the hair is not completely in her face as the plait stays in thanks to the tiny bands.

My daughters is the same I part the top half of hair into two pony tails on top of her head. Using the little snagless hairties from cheapie shops Plait each then make a pony tail put of bottom half of hair adding plaits into ponytail at back keeps it pretty tidy
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:44 PM
Use those really small elastics ( the size of a 10 cent coin ), they hold fine hair good and then you just cut it out if you can't slide it off each night as they are really cheap and are only used once
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:54 PM
I have very fine hair as well, it can be really hard. Nowadays I keep my hair short so that I don't have to do much with it!
If that's not an option for your daughter (I know I wanted long hair at that age) then pigtail plaits work heaps better for me than pony tails.
Elastics without the metal join have been great for me, since my hair would always wrap itself around the metal part and get stuck in it.
Headbands are good, but I know when I was younger they gave me headaches, so soft fabric headbands that are the right size were the only ones I could really wear.
These types of hair clips also seem to work really well in my hair: http://www.diva.net.au/shop/hair/set-of-6-...hair-clips.html
Hope that helps!
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:03 PM
Pigtail plaits, with the elastics without any metal in it (small size).
Light spray of hairspray can help too (and is says to be a nit prevention technique as well)
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:12 PM
hairclips or bobby pins as well as the hair band.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:42 PM
Hair spray!! Also, if she can get away with it, don't wash it as often.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 07:33 PM
I have fine hair. As a kid I would wear it in ponytail or plait (sometimes one sometimes 2) mum bought me the bobble elastics so you only have to wrap the elastic around and then slip one ball over the other. I could fix it myself when i needed to or get one of my friends to do it (everyone wanted to be a hairdresser back then..lol) These days I still wear a ponytail and use the rubberised bobbypins for the sides.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 08:02 PM
DD3 has fine hair and I use all the techniques the others do but my main one is gel. Pull it back into a pony with lots of gel on top, good for nit protection and keeps it in place all day
Posted 19 November 2012 - 08:44 PM
Headbands and plaits. Also since we starting using a little bit of conditioner in her hair after washing, it's been a bit tidier.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 08:52 PM
One of my DDs has fine hair. Three styles are never fail for her:
Split with a centre part and two braids (fairly tight)
The fripont middle section (fringe plus a bit extra) in a little tail or plait with a tiny band and then sweep that tail into one pig tail (with a second pigtail on the other side)
Centre part with two little pigtails on top. Catch these pigtails in a second row of pigtails below and finish with the rest of the hair in a final row of pigtails.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:07 PM
My daughter also has very fine hair that looks ratty 5 minutes after doing it UNLESS I do as follows:
I ALWAYS do her hair when it's damp - if dry it's too flyaway. You need to use the tiny elastics similar to braces elastics. You can buy them in bags of 100 at most $2 type shops. If her hair is washed the night before plait it before bedtime. In the morning take out the plait and use a water spray bottle with some conditioner in it to dampen the hair before brushing.
For the school hair do - if she has wispy shorter hair at the front then do one smaller pony at the front (I usually side part a small section at the front and do a very small pony on one side) then a larger pony tail or pig tails at the back or sides. I always plait her pony or pig tails too. Put a regular coloured hair tie and/or ribbon over the smaller elastic one. Once done spray all over with hairspray. The plaiting and hair spraying also helps prevent lice.
It is worth investing in a good boar bristle brush that has the bristles very close together.

My young DD has flyaway fine hair thats always getting in her eyes.
I use a spray bottle with water to dampen as i brush it into pigtails or braids.
Hairspray if its going to be a long day or gel if swimming.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:27 PM
I do two braids, one on each side of her head and then work them into either a single plait or two pig tail plaits. I also dampen her hair before doing it each morning.
If I just pull it back into a pony she looks like a wild woman's dream by day's end.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:37 PM
I have baby fine hair and use most of the tricks already mentioned here.
- always do hair when still damp and after conditioning.
- I still do the centre part and pigtail plaits for a long day out.
- hair spray and bobby pins to help keep in place
- plait for bedtime and wash hair every morning
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:40 PM
Easiest way to do a budge proof ponytail is to use.
Look up on Youtube how to do a ponytail with a rubberband - size 14 or 16 bought in bags at a stationary place, and two good quality bobby pinThe bobby pins are both on the band and one is pushed into the hair and then band is stretched around the ponytail and second pin placed in.
This is how I do hair and you get a tight non slip or snagged ponytail

My mum's method in dealing with my hair was to cut it short.. As long as you and your daughter don't mind all the comments about your 'son' I guess it's an option.. Not quite scarred for life on that one..
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:51 PM
I usually do DD8s hair in French plait, and then a quick squirt of hairspray. If she's having a particularly bad flyaway day I do a centre parting and do 2 French plaits.
If I haven't got time to do the plaits I do I do plaited pigtails.

That's what my parents did to me. I had (and still have) very fine soft hair and it would turn into a bird's nest if it was longer than a few inches. So I had a boy's haircut for years. No life long scarring here
Thank goodness DD's isn't quite as fine, her's will sort of stay in an elastic.

Tattoo artists Angel Silva, Antonio Duran, and Josh Hartsfield etch skin in custom designs, with past work encompassing everything from vibrant, flame-flicked scissors to life-like portraits of beloved family members. Free-hand piercer Adam Harris draws upon a decade of experience to add hardware to any body part.

The Handbook for the Permanent Cosmetic Professional is based upon her more than 15 years of experience in the business, which includes paramedical tattoo work performed for area surgeons.

Alley Kat TattooRead MoreThe telltale buzzing of tattoo guns pervades the air at Alley Kat Tattoo's studio, where skilled artists have emblazoned skin with Celtic symbols, graffiti, military insignias, and mythological art for nearly two decades. The artists eschew pretension in favor of a casual, hygienic environment that makes even first-timers feel like habitual inkers as they excitedly convey their ideas during consultations. When they aren't putting their spin on classic designs such as dragons and portraits of Grover Cleveland, the artists accent eye areas and lips with subtle cosmetic tattoos that act as permanent makeup.8810 N 43rd AveGlendale, AZ US
Black Rose TattooersRead MoreThe team at Black Rose Tattooers is on a roll. In 2012, they received their third consecutive Best Tattoo Parlor award from Tuscon Weekly. Over the years, the magazine has had a lot to say about the trio of shops, calling the artists "masters of their craft" and admiring how "skill is apparent in every design, whether the tattoo is a realistic portrait…or a custom sleeve". Though the tattooers love to accept custom projects, the street-style shops also welcome passersby for impromptu ink sessions. In case clients are too excited about their fresh ink to pay attention to the staff's post-tattooing guidelines, the company's website has a page with tips for tattoo aftercare. When not hunched over their buzzing tattoo tools, Black Rose's team also performs face and body piercings, even surgically implanting tongs to improve grilling abilities. They take this work rather seriously as well—each year, the crew attends the Association of Professional Piercers Conference in Las Vegas. Two of the staffers even have their own jewelry line, Honeycomb Organics, a collection of one-of-a-kind wood, stone, silver, and copper baubles that ranges from traditional rings and necklaces to large-gauge body jewelry.47 S 6th AveTucson, AZ US

Red Dot owners have big plans for Shepherd's in Tosa space
Claudia and Marty Beaudoin, owners of Red Dot, 2498 N. Bartlett Ave., plan to open a "casual dining establishment" in the former Shepherd's in Tosa space, 6715 W. North Ave.
"The menu will have plenty of poutine and probably some other Canadian fare," says Claudia. "Similar to Red Dot, but a little more upscale."
The new place will be called Sherbrooke (or The Sherbrooke) – which is the town in Quebec where Marty was born. It will open in spring 2013.

This'll be on my radar. I hope they open for lunch. We could use a few more options in the area at lunchtime. I also hope they have plans to rehab the exterior. The building as it is now looks really seedy and dumpy. A few windows would go a long way. Can't wait!

1993 Mercedes-Benz 400SEL Q&A
1993 Mercedes-Benz 400SEL Question: What would cause my car to hesitate only in drive? transmission is fine.
My car hesitates in drive but runs fine in park and the transmission is fine. What could cause this problem when the transmission is perfectly fine? - smoothwing
Answer 1
There could be an ignition problem that only exhibits under load. There could be a leak in the air intake ducting that only appears when the engine torques over when under load in drive. There could be other engine control issues but I'd need more information to have any ideas on that.

Talking about XBL is not exactly talking about javascript. So I'll create this question that's related to this one, but now about XBL, where I'm not the creator of the root javascript code, but just of the methods and event handlers inside the bindings.
In some cases, the
this keyword may not refer to the object I expect it to. (recent example: in an key event, in my XBL)
What's the best approach to avoid this kind of mistake?
For now, I'm using always the
getElementById (or
$.fn from jQuery), but I'm not sure if it's the best approach.
A little bit more details:
Within a XBL method the only way to access the element that was defined in the Xul file (the GUI description file) without using "this" (as it may not be the "this" I expect) is with getElementById, and this makes the code not reusable, so I'm looking for alternatives..
