Ballet bun/what do do with DD's fringe

DD6 has her first dance show coming up in a couple of weeks. I learned a few days ago that I need to put her hair in a bun. I have NO hairdressing skills whatsover, but I have (what I think is) a good tutorial, all the equipment (gel, hairspray, pins, net) and I'm ready to have a go.

However - I've just learned that I also need to put her fringe back, and its completely thrown me! Do I just have to trust that the gel is going to hold it? Or is there something more I can do? DD's hair is extremely soft and slippery, if that is relevant.

As @Comefromaway says gel, gel and then some extra gel just on case.
Shorter hair I do pony tail and then wind it round bun net over the top and pin to death. Long hair a bun doughnut can be really helpful.
If she does tap get practicing in the French plaits.
I came to being a dance mom as some one who really never did hair or that stuff. There are great YouTube videos.

Yes, just lots of gel. The spray ones are good. Some places ban hairspray due to asthma/fire alarms
