When I first started putting Sweetie's hair up I used the metal clips that you put hair in and bend them the opposite way and they shut. I still use them to hold up the "stragglers" that won't stay in her rubber band. Actually I use the small covered rubber bands that you use on small children.
You just have to be persistant with putting their hair up. If it comes down or is rubbed down, put it right back up.
Hope this helps!
