Yes, I know that sounds like some twisted sexual practice, but it's not. The other day I was driving in my car with the windows down, and my hair was blowing in my face and annoying me. I didn't have any elastic bands with me, so I figured I'd try a bun. Using a pen, I just gathered a ponytail, twisted it up, and pushed the pen through it. Well, it worked! Did it again that night so I could take a picture.
Another thing I decided to do was to make my own dread cuffs. A dread cuff is like a metal or fabric sleeve that fits over a lock of hair (kind of like a large bead does).
Well, way back in the day at camp I had learned this nifty method of knotting embroidery thread to make bookmarks and such. It wasn't too much of an adjustment to make a cuff that slides over a lock of hair.
Sorry about the poor quality. . .my camera requires on heckuva lot of light.
Just thought you might enjoy!

Hello, the style you show I saw, and it´s very cool, but it can be a bit female no? I like it but .... I prefer a low bun with an elastic. bye
Yeah, it's not my first choice, no doubt; but it does excellent when I don't happen to have an elastic around.
