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.

I found the best hair spray to get a really good finish is the Bedhead glued. It held a bun in for two days after dd's recent exam without using gel first. I was amazed. She has really long hair so we tightly plait the ponytail, wrap in a bun net and pin the holy crap out of it.

Gel and kirby grips or you are likely to get some stray sticking up tufts!
