My routine:
​
In the shower, I flip my head over and thoroughly wet my hair, then co-wash with Tresemmé’s Botanique Nourish and Replenish conditioner, rinse, and then squish in plenty of Suave Essentials’ Ocean Breeze conditioner. After that I stand up straight again and clip all my hair back while I wash my face and body. When I’m ready to get out, I’ll unclip, flip my head back over and rinse my conditioner out while detangling with a wide-toothed comb. Immediately after turning the water off, I’ll apply a little bit of Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie and a lot of Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Smoothie, first raking through my hair with my fingers, then squishing in. Next I squish out some excess water with a towel, then squish in some LA Looks Extreme Sport gel, and finally plop in a cotton t-shirt.

Edit: For those asking what kind of hair tie I use, my stylist recommended something like this. I've noticed that they're a lot nicer to my hair than scrunchies or elastics.
I use these! They work way better for me than regular hair ties (I too get the weird sagging thing), and I notice that I can wear my hair down after using them because I don't get the usual hair-tie-dent-thing.
Did she do her hair that day? Did you show her some of your pictures in a similar style ahead of time? Did you deliver on matching the style that they (probably) saw ahead of time? If you followed through on capturing the moment and processing the images in a way that's consistent with your normal work flow, then I'd say you're in the clear.
If she really wants a reshoot, offer another session at your normal rate. If she doesn't like that idea, you could offer a discount on another session as compensation since she's not happy with how she did her hair that day.
How did you bill her? If you gave her an invoice, make sure to write the full price and then deduct a discount (Friends & Family usually works well). This way, they know they're getting a discount. That doesn't quite apply here, but it's good advice for any future work of this nature.
Also, I'd recommend keeping hairspray, bobby pins, hair clips, and hair ties. It'll cost you about $20 up front for all of those things but you'll be able to save yourself hours and hours later in editing hair and your clients will be so much happier with you during the shoot. Also, I'd recommend keeping a mirror in your kit as well.
Made myself some new mouth protection with a steelmouth, hair bands, elastic bands, and some rough stitching. The hairbands go around your ears to hold it in place. I kept the straps a little loose so I can move it down easily, but tight enough to stay in place fairly well. Mostly got it for my RUSFOR kit, but it'll probably see some use with my woodland and multicam kits as well. shoutout to /u/element074 for the idea.
Everything I used:
Steelmouth
sewing kit
hair bands
1/2" elastic band
Condor multi wrap

Disclaimer, am not a guy. But, my hair gets tangled too. Try these. They work really well for me and bonus, they don’t leave a crease on your hair where the tie was.
My Mom has super asian hair and she swears by those invisibobble hair ties? I personally hate them, but she really likes them for her hair type.
For me, I have super thick curly hair. When i say super thick, i mean super thick. I once lent my mom a hair tie--it was so stretched out she literally could've used it as a headband. What I found works best for me are the hair ties (I think they're Goody brand?) that are braided. I've had them last literally YEARS without breaking (using them 2-3x/week). I will not use normal hair ties anymore! I'm going to look on Amazon and try and come back and link the ones I mean.
Edit: they're NOT goody, they're scunci! Best hair ties ever. I swear by them.

/u/Abby89 As for most people here, you were one of the first to welcome me, and I appreciate it and you. You're a beautiful sunshine :)
I made it to work today on time, and packed a lunch today - which is a normal accomplishment, but I had all last week off and took a trip to Seattle this weekend, so I'm totally worn out and need a day of recovery. But nope! Got up, got ready, and here I am to make some money today! Yay!
To-do: 1. Be awesome 2. Follow rule #1
This is on my wishlist and I could use them. They are allllllways handy!

edit: spelling :(
I posted this last year using two binder clips, and then later updated the design to take the pinching stress off of the cable.
This is a simple girl's hair tie and a common binder clip (any size will work). Wrap the hair tie around the tether cable, then through the clip's handle.
I wear this clip every time I play. The benefit here is that you don't have to put it on your belt, you can clip it to your shirt, your sleeve, your underwear, bra-strap, whatever. It completely removes the weight from the back of your headset and places it somewhere less noticeable like your shirt collar. You will notice the effect immediately, I promise.
With the hair tie, there is no stress on the tether wire and it can be easily and quickly adjusted to any point on the cable as needed. And it can stay on there permanently with no issues.
Hope this helps make your PSVR-ing more comfortable; I won't play without it.
I would wait about a week before putting them up. To help alleviate the pain I personally apply a few products to my scalp:
I apply aloe vera and let that dry followed by Stay Soft Fro. Then I follow-up with shea butter after letting the spray sit for a minute or two.
I don't think the braids will feel less heavy but you'll get used to it over time.
I would recommend XL Hair Ties or Silk Scrunchies. If your natural hair isn't in the ponytail then you can use a regular scrunchie.

^(side note: I wasn't able to find a pic of a real regula ol' scrunchy for the life of me)
These?
I wonder if they would wrap 3 times, which is how I do a ponytail. They look like the small type that is hard to wrap 3 times (I know this is all relative to how thick someone's hair is)
I wear these that my hair stylist recommended: coil hair tie
She recommended them because the coil can hold your hair in a pony tail but unlike rubber band hair ties, it doesn’t pull your hair back (so it doesn’t trigger a migraine and bonus doesn’t rip your hair out/thin your hair line either).
Hi yes woman here. These hair ties are amazing and are the only thing that can get me through a training session without my hair falling out everywhere: https://www.amazon.com/Kitsch-Piece-Rated-Value-Transparent/dp/B07BYRG1G5/ref=sr_1_3?crid=UIOWTZT15JAQ&keywords=coil+hair+ties&qid=1564178469&s=beauty&sprefix=coil+hai%2Cbeauty%2C195&sr=1-3
​
also, don't wash your hair 5x a week. Rinse with water in the shower, and use dry shampoo if needed when it's dry (a total lifesaver). Washing your hair that much can seriously damage it
Do you mean something like this ?
I have very thick and slippery hair too. Scunci No-Slip Flat Hair Ties are the only thing that has ever held my hair in a ponytail. The flatness keeps them from rolling out, and the gel line makes them extra sticky and non-slip.
I'm a middle school teacher, and I want to throw out there that while the brand doesn't matter, the most coveted type of scrunchies are the velvet ones like this and the ones with an attached bow, like this.
You seem like an awesome mom. :) Have fun with the VSCO lifestyle!
thermometer for ovulating because my husband and I are going to start trying for a baby!

hair ties because i go through these guys like crazy.

I love throwing in these "no crease" hairties. They're fun, inexpensive, and actually useful :)

This is what I use. For earings, I added a long strip of cloth (folded, pretty) to one of the hooks and push the earrings and clip-on my hair bobbles. For rings and bracelets, I used These hairbands to attach to the key hook. That allows me to have a separate hairband for each metal type of bracelet (gold, "fancy", medical ID).
​
I didn't think I had a lot of jewelry but mine fills up two key holders. If I had to do it again I'd get one with a mail organizer or shelf so I could add a mirror and little decorative box for the bracelets and rings.
If you're having problems with the elastic slipping, if you can track down these guys, that problem will be solved. They're rubbery, so they grip really nice, I'm in Canada and got mine at Rexall.
You could also braid tightly, then twist that braid into a knot. Or make a bun by twisting all your hair and securing with a wide, stretchy headband.
Woot! That's awesome! My two biggest tips are to (1) read the curriculum in advance and plan our your timing for sections. There are recommended times, but sometimes they don't fit into the realities of your location's schedule. Also, some coaches come in each day and are reading the curriculum as they go to figure out what's next, it's *much* easier to already be familiar with it. (2) Figure out great lap counters, I had the most success over several years of coaching with ribbon-style no-dent hair ties, girls got a hair tie each lap during practice, they wore them on their wrist and then counted and returned them. On the final practice, they got to keep the hair ties they got that practice. It was such a hit! We had girls show up to the 5k wearing every single hair tie they earned and the girls really did seem motivated to get hair ties in fun patterns/different colors (https://www.amazon.com/20-Crease-Hair-Ties-Assortment/dp/B00BROQU8Y)
Hair ties. Hair ties are awesome! All shapes and sizes

I've got really soft hair too, and coil hair ties like this are awesome! I don't need to wrap them as tight, and they don't pull out my hair.
by Julia Cameron is one of my favorite books on creative unblocking for both writers AND artists! I go back to it whenever Im in a slump!
The tournaments I attend don't care about what color scheme you use, as long as your opponent can identify that some units are from a different unit/<keyword>.
I play different <keywords> for my Guard, but they are all painted the same (I made my own regiment). I use small colored elastics the identify separate <keywords>. I think normally they are used for braces. Just wrap them around a gun or something.
EDIT: Just found these, on ebay: click.
Totally get how it can be frustrating, I guess that’s the trade off with gravity defying hair. 🤷♀️
I use cloth hair ties like these, for me it’s easier to keep loose: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MTZUPW2/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_H4RYAbG6SZ00N
They're just a different type of hair tie. Here's a link for a visual reference
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H7YCDR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MFbuDb2J80P4J
Yeah! Look for regular hair ties that don't have a metal closure on them, it should just be elastic. You can find them in grocery stores and drugstores with the other hair accessories. They don't have all the same benefits as the Knotties but it's the most masculine and best for your hair.
These are a great example.

Are you using hairties frequently? Elastics can cause breakage. To combat this I bought these and they look a little funny but honestly they hold my hair up so much better and my roots aren't constantly being tugged at my scalp so I don't get headaches.
&#x200B;
Are you sleeping with your hair loose? Braiding your hair before bed and using a scrunchie/previously linked hairtie can combat breakage, as well as using a satin or silk pillowcase.
&#x200B;
Outside of these things, new growth is unavoidable and you can use a pomade/hairspray to smooth it down. I like to spray my hands with hairspray and smooth loose ends down that way, instead of directly spraying my hair.

Thank me later 😉
If you're talking about the silicon ring that holds the strap past the clasp, you can order replacements from amazon. I personally just use those small rubberband hair ties because I have kids and those are plentiful around here. https://imgur.com/q3DEuvH
Would you reckon that these hair ties are too harsh?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H3R26XM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
If so, do you know of any that have a low profile but are very gentle to the hair?
Thank you for the contest!
add-ons are pesky
I could use either this for $3.99
Or this for $4.97
Happy Thursday to you too!
It's all about the karma!
What else is there besides karma?
If you do buns I highly suggest using either spin pins or bun pins to keep your hair up instead of a hair tie! creaseless hair ties work great to avoid breakage and I hear invisibobbles or "hair coils" work great too. (Somebody else also suggested these)
Goody Hair Ties
These last much longer before stretching out
This is such a nice contest... here is my want/need.
Srunchies
My daughter has gone thru all my hair ties and I’m on my last one. We both love scrunchies and these should last us all year. :)
So these?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MTZUPW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_j2uMzb11W6658
Or these? ( sorry for the long links I'm on mobile)

I use two hairbands. Here's ten wallets for $9.60.

As someone with unmanageable, extremely thick hair, these are the only things I've found that hold everything and last forever.
Hopefully this Amazon link is allowed?
That’s the type of tie in question, the knot always sits outside the hair. The only exception to this is if you’re crazy like me and do a bun by looping excess hair back over 500x. Still, never had hair get stuck in the knot.
You can’t yank them off your hair as fast or comfortably as the seamless, rounded ties, but they really have caused so much less breakage for me. When I’d yank the regular ties out, I’d lose 5-20 strands. When I carefully pull these off, I lose 0-3. Usually 0.
And they feel a lot better on your wrist too.
These are the only ones that have ever consistently worked for me for normal wear and these are the only ones that worked for running. I cut off all my hair last December so it's a non-issue now!
These are the ones I got from F21:
https://nl.fashiola.be/dames/accessoires/haaraccessoires/?q=hair+tie+set&amp;qt=1
I think the ones I got from Target are Goodie brand. They are thicker and more tightly coiled like these (but cheaper and included black and brown):
https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Plastic-Phone-Hairband-Clear/dp/B00DN42V5W
I wear the F21 ones on my wrist every day and they haven't stretched out over 6 months plus. They were under $5 for a bunch so my best advice is to find some like that. If you have really thin, slick hair, I can see these having to be coiled around hair more times to stay (possibly stretching them out), but I bet hair spray or dry shampoo on them would help the hold. They hold better in my hair than the traditional black stretchy ones and are more durable (but I haven't straightened my hair in over a year ago I can't say how well they'd do on straight or straightened hair).
Ok, so I'm a makeup geek.. sorry if this is a long post.
