Right, I bought my head gear/elastic thingy ala Cheryl Chole and tRinny, but how do I stop it pinging off my head?

[DrNortherner]

Or do I just have an odd shaped head?

WTF are you talking about? You are wearing an elastic band on your head??

(Please forgive me, I am middle-aged abd know not of what you young 'uns speak of)

the giant hair bobble type thingys that you wear like an alice band?

They [ping off my head too

staples.
cheryl manages to grin through the pain.
she is a trooper.

please link, sounds ridiculous

my 8yo has this problem

you have bougth one that is too small

make yer own with ribbon and a bit of elastic at the back, or fasten the ends of a scarf together with a hair elastic.

examples on this thread

I want to look like this

Yo say tis too small? Do they come in sizes?

Do I have abig head?

my head is too big for H&M ones (and they had lovely bronze ones too, grr)

get some elastic from a haberdashery

My dd's have those and they had the same problem. They just use them on their Bratz dollies now.

Maybe you need to backcomb your hair up bouffanty.

When I get home I will experiment.

It helps if your hair is dirty.

Also, make sure they are right down at the nape of your neck at the back.

Where did you get them from eventually?

From Claires. Only £2.50!!!

My fringe is an issue me thinks.

Fringe not good when wearing elsatics.

do'nt they do some back-combing type dealy at the back to make it a bit higher back there so it keeps the thign in place?
