Okay, so, I started doing my own hair for training when I was 10, and meets when I was 12, but after so many years of practice and so many techniques I have tried, I can never make it stay in. The past two meets, it's been okay, but training? Always comes out. So, gymnasts, gym parents, any one with any experience on making gym buns stay in, please give me your secrets. Also, my gym says we must wear buns, so as much as I would love to wear a neat, nice ponytail or plait, that is impossible for me. My younger sister's always looks perfect, and stay in. I don't know how she does it, (she's 16 and only 4/6
I usually do it like I’m doing a ponytail.. and when it comes to the last wrap around, only pull through half of the hair. This is like an easier and quicker way to do a bun. I suggest do it with a normal hair tie first, and then add a scrunched for more stability. If you want to do the traditional one, it might help to use bobby pins if you aren’t already. Hope this helped. Cheers
