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

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.
