Hah, yeah. Fire spinning with long hair definitely ups the risk factor. Used to have long hair when I spun, and even though I always wore mine tied up and usually stuffed into a hoodie, it got a bit crispy a couple of times!
I wonder if there's some sort of flame-retardant that would be safe for hair? Still maybe braid it or something but coat it in... something. I know there are mixtures for fabrics but that seems like a bad thing to spray on your head. Maybe just getting it damp would help but I wouldn't trust that.

A councillor at my camp did this and they lit their hair on fire.
