Hair + low profile hat = help!

[Allie5]

I am showing Tommy in hand on Friday and have a beagler to wear. How on earth do I fit my hair into a bun under it? Its very low profile and there isn't much room at the back. My hair is long (ish probably middle of my shoulder blades) but not particularly thick. The last time I wore this hat my bun tipped it forward and I could hardly see! Any magic hints and tips??

Try doing a long plait (without a band at the top of it) and instead of making a bun loop it back up and pin it so only a small loop shows instead (you can pin it as high as you need to for your hair length and once your hat is on it will hold it so only a small pin needed.
