long hair updo tools

[LoveTrains]

Does anyone have a tool that helps make easy up-dos? My hair is getting pretty long and I am off to a wedding this weekend. I got the big "no" to my plastic clips that I use for my updos when I was interviewing the other week so I figured it's probably not wedding appropriate, either.

I am thinking something like this:

or 


www.target.com/p/conair-multi-styler-buns-french-roll-hollywood-roll/-/A-15046552#prodSlot=medium_1_56

Ideally something I can pick up in a store today or tomorrow for a wedding at 5 pm tomorrow that I have to travel to.

Spin pins!

Seriously, when my hair was nearly waist length these were great. They still are with it close to shoulder length now.

If you Google there are a bunch of you tube tutorials and articles on things you can do.

Personally I've never found the foam things helpful, but that could just be me.

Another spin pin vote. My hair is far too short to use them now, but when it was longer they were great.

I love my spin pins!

I also have a bun form (AKA the non-MM way to do a sock bun...I needed one close to my hair color because it's so thin and white socks showed through); I usually end up getting DH to help do the final arranging/pinning, but it makes a beautiful big bun that stays all day.

I use spin pins and love them. I still need bobby pins to tuck in a few pieces here and there, but not nearly as many as I would need otherwise. If I need a bun to be super secure, I use two and cross them over each other (even though the instructions say not to cross them). I'll also put a bobby pin at each end of it to kind of tack it down. It makes the updo practically bulletproof.

I also have a bun form, but don't like my hair in the kind of bun with a hole in the middle, for lack of a better term. With the spin pin I can form it into whatever shape I want and spin those babies in there to lock it down.

If you have a Dollar Tree near you, look there first. I've bought Spin Pins there before, thanks to a tip from this board.

I have this too- DH got it for me for Christmas lol. I love it to make big sock buns. My hair is a bit longer than shoulder length and I think it would work even better with longer hair.

Thanks ladies I got a Mia bun tool. It came out OK I think!
