Hair styles with a snood + question.

[Fofi]

I was wondering how you styled your hair with a snood? I'm wearing one today with 3 victory rolls in the front of my head...
My problem is even though I tied my hair into a ponytail at the end of the length before I put it in the snood, I seem to have million of baby hair falling out of the snood after a few hours... What can I do about it? I'd love to wear snoods more often because I find them really stylish, but I always have that problem...

I tend to semi-style my hair up in a loose roll (pinned). Then put the snood over the hair.

ETA - I tried to find an example, but all I can find are examples where the ladies just shoved their hair into the net then pulled the net on....

Oh thanks! I actually thought the hair had to be loose in the back to provide volume and perfectly fit the snood! I'll try pinning my hair (But not tommorow: I've just set my hair in rollers for the night! )

You could also wear a hair net first and a snood over that.

Great idea, I'll try both and see what I like most!

In this thread there is a photo showing how to wear a snood so the hair does not poke out and look flat http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?5269-Scans-from-American-Hairdresser-Magazine Just like Fräulein U. said, you put on a hair net that is close to your own hair color then put on the snood. Since my hair is thin when I ware a snood it looks so flat and swings around like a ponytail. Curling my hair first and brushing out my hair so that it is super frizzy will make my snood look fuller and stay in place.

In most cases I used to style my hair with a snood in such a way

. I refused from a snood as it damaged my hair. Now, I prefer ponytails like these ones

A snood shouldn't damage your hair. Teasing or tearing a brush through your hair is more likely to damage your hair. Using mini bobby pins in a X pattern won't damage hair and will still be secure. Make sure the angled tip points down, not up. Or, on the bigger pins, that crimped side. That's how they were designed to be used, so that the pins stay in place. People just never know that tidbit.

The fine hair net will definitely help. I think Jac O Net is the closest thing to a vintage hair net, and they come in 3 main colors to match your hair. If you can't find any to properly match your hair, I think nets for horse riding come in a wider selection. I only know this much about hair nets because I use them for medieval re-enactment as well, and it's fairly accurate to the silk netting ladies used back then.
