Raven posted a tutorial about using tiny rubber bands to secure small pieces of hair, and then putting the clip above the band, so that it cant slide out of the hair. I think Iona might have a link somewhere? pretty sure she was the one that recommended that tutorial to me when I used to have long hair

with my current pixie cut, headdresses that are clip-based or comb-based are out of the question. All of my headdresses are built on a headband (the kind that have the little teeth) or on an elastic band. maybe a headband would work with fine hair?

I've also heard that if you spray bobby pins with hair spray before putting them in your hair or headdress, they stick a lot better and dont slide out. But I've never tested that. So I have no idea if it ACTUALLY works
