My thick hair won't stay in a bun.

I love the look of messy buns but my thick hair never stays put! I need a billion bobby pins, and even then it drops or hair falls out. Any tips or tricks?

Maybe try to use a hair tie instead of using just bobby pins and then after you use the hair tie then add bobby pins to secure it more.

When I'm going to be doing a lot of activity and want my messy bun to stay in place I like to first tie it up with a hairtie, then I little clips instead of Bobby pins to secure all the little pieces where I want them, then add another hair tie and set it with a little hairspray. My hair is down to the top of my bum so I know how difficult it can be to make your bun stay in place.

Sorry Jacqlyn but you must not have read my whole question...I do use bobby pins. :( hair still falls out

Marie, sorry I didn't clarify but I do use a hair tie (bobby pins to hold it up more) thanks though.

Traci, thanks! I'll try clips next time :)

Use more hairbands. I too have thick hair and I use multiple hairbands.

Hairspraying the bobby pins before putting them in helps a lot, as does making the bun tighter than you need it and then gently pulling out little sections of hair :) I hope this helps and if you find something that works you should definitely share it with us :D I'm sure that there are lots of girls facing this problem :3
