No: I used to put my hair in a bun when it was past my waist, and what you can do is put it up and roll it around itself, then use a hairnet circle and secure with pins. Like these: http://www.amazon.com/Diane-1-75-Hair-Black-300-pack/dp/B000I9TUTK/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1398569235&sr=8-19&keywords=bobby+pins

The pins are long and flexible enough that they hold on each other, forming a very solid matrix-like structure close to your head and the bun ends up being very secure. Seriously, you could swim in it and it would hardly budge. I used it for years before I changed my hair style and cut it very short.

I think it is very similar to the way the military does it in the US (http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Military-Bun) but no ponytail holder or hairspray.

By the way, while it's true that doing it after you shampooed your hair and without drying it completely is best, I recommend you use conditioner and comb your hair after rinsing it, not before you shampoo. Trust me on this...

Sorry, forgot to emphasize that the pins should hold your hair AND the edges of the hairnet. And no need to use hair gel or whatever when combing your damp hair prior to putting it up: re-reading the instructions of this wikihow link, I am wondering if the person writing this had ever done it or was paid to sell hair products or a man? I mean, brushing your hair BEFORE you wash it?!

Anyway, the hairnet should not simply be put on top of your completed bun, but help secure it too. And if you choose a nice looking one, the end result can look really elegant (as opposed to choosing one with flounces or lace or whatever on it?)
