This is a subject dear to my heart, because I have fine, soft hair and hair ornaments have a bad habit of sliding to the floor when I least expect it. It's vital to ensure your hairclips and flowers stay put - not just to avoid embarrassment, but because they can become dangerous to other dancers if they fall out. Thanks to Amy Danielson of The Gypsy Kiss for these tutorials for ATS and tribal fusion belly dancers. Flamenco dancers will find these helpful, too.
Most tutorials for hair sticks make loose buns or french twists that would easily fall out during dancing. If you have trouble getting your hair sticks to "stick", you'll find this clip helpful
and finally, "how to get those darn hair ornaments to stay in!"
