on 11/22/2005 For every inch of hair length below your collar, the method given leaves you with about an inch sticking up that you need to tuck in. For me that's about two feet, so I use the long hair method. First, pull all your hair into a ponytail at the back of your head with one hand, and grab the ends of your hair with the other hand. Starting at the ends, fold your hair up into a sausage shape about five inches long (wrapping it around your hand loosely may work). When you've folded up all but a few inches of hair near the scalp, line the 'sausage' up vertically and roll it in place so that those last inches of hair wrap around it, hiding it from sight. Roll it as tightly against the back of your head as you can, because the weight of your hair will make this style loosen quite a bit. Then fix it in place (the only thing that works for me is a bobby pin every half-inch along the seam).
