winter hair

For a fast way to put up my long hair, I usually reach for my hair
sticks and secure a bun with them.
But in winter, here, there are hats and other headgear, there are
scarves, hoods, etc –– hair sticks are just plain inconvenient, and
any kind of bun is destined to be messed up. What's left when you need
to wear hair not loose –– plastic clips? Scrunchies? But it's so
80s...
(I'm not gonna whine about wanting to be in California right now, I'm
not, I'm not :) )

I put mine in a French twist and secure it close to the nape of my neck with
a claw. For me, it's easy to re–do after taking off a hat or whenever I get
the urge, without having to look in a mirror.

How about just a simple pony tail band? That's what I do. Especially
when wearing a turtleneck. I can't stand my hair down and loose when I
wear a T–neck, because it creates too much static electricity and my
hair goes wild.
Scrunchies IMO are only for when I work out (they are good because I
can pull my hair back severely and tightly, without worrying about a
band breaking the hair). Clippies, like hair sticks, don't work with
hats.
If I can steal your thread for a minute, I have been thinking lately
whatever happened to hair combs? I remember they were all the rage when
I was in high school (late 70s, early 80s). You'd use them to pull your
hair back around the temple. Wonder when these will come back in
style... I used to like that look. For those with fine, thin hair, they
secured the hair much better than barrettes. Nowadays it seems you
can't find these combs anywhere in the stores. I checked, because I
thought it would be a good alternative to barrettes for my DDs.

This is what I do. If you don't want to redo it after wearing a hat,
and don't absolutely need a hat for warmth, you may want to get
earmuffs or one of those wide headbands that can be worn instead of a
hat to wear with the claw.
I shied away from claws for awhile until I found some nice ones at
Claire's of all places in matte black and tortoise. They don't look
like they came from the gym at all. They also have a matte white clip
I'm going back for when the weather's warmer and I'm wearing more
whites and light colors.
I also use crocheted hair elastics and those beaded elastic bracelets
that are still widely available and in lots of color combinations to
pull my hair into a ponytail – use several at a time w/ colors from
whatever outfit you have on that day or colors that match your
haircolor if you want it to blend in. The beads especially are a
dressier look that IMO works well outside the gym And They Aren't
Scrunchies.

While I rarely see anyone wearing them I've certainly seen plenty of
hair combs in places like Nordstrom. However, I haven't seen many plain
ones and they tend to have a lot of rhinestones, beads or shells.

Target (here) carries them. Also WalMart (if you don't like to shop
there, DON'T...but also don't bother emailing me tons of anti–WM
propaganda, please. She asked where I found them, I answered, OK?).
Both in the hair items aisle, with the Goody and Scunci–type stuff (I've
had much better luck with the Goody brand, myself, the Scunci ones seem
to be much more brittle and the teeth break off, grrrr).

And don't feel bad about not being in California. The weather here has been
awful this past month. This is not how So Cal was advertised. I want my
money back!!!!!!
