If you just want the hair to lay down, try putting the pony tail in at night and pinning it down in the direction you want it to go. In the morning, it should lay like that. Also, you should try a bun with a hairnet on it. It may sound old fashioned, but form the bun, put a very fine, almost invisible net on the hair, then put the non-snag elastic or scrunchy around the bun and net. Tuck in all stray pieces of net around the scrunchie, or take a piece of your own hair and wrap it around the elastic. No one wil be able to see the hair net and the hair will look suave and controlled -- very chic.
Good Luck

Hi,

Dawn is correct. The hair net thing is very popular with high fashion stylists. Patrick Cameron uses very thin hairnets for a lot of his updos and he even demonstrates how to anchor them to the hair so they are invisible. I had never heard of that before his videos and now I hear about it all the time.

It is a great tip. Thanks for sharing Dawn.

Best wishes,
Karen

I'm glad you asked this question. Please see the Dawn Sanders article on Hair Volume. There are some tips which I hope will be helpful to you.

Also, holding curls. Your luck will depend a great deal on your climate. Humid climates will flatten even the strongest curls.

A trick --
You may want to try a trick I used when I was in Hong Kong, and the humidity was so high, my skin was always dewy. I roller set the hair using an alcohol free setting lotion or mousse. I kept pin curls in my hair. (The hair looks rolled up, but with no rollers, only invisible bobby pins). This is actually a cute style. When it was time to go somewhere more formal, I took down the pin curls and the hair stayed. Also, I put an almost invisible hair net on over hot curled hair and took it off when I got indoors. That way, the weather, wind, gravity and humididty did not affect my hairstyle.

Also, well trimmed ends hold curls better.

Good Luck!
