Before you back and edgebead your finished beadwork, glue it to a piece of manilla folder. This will sufficiently stiffen it up to keep it flat. Now to keep it flat on the head when worn you want to use small barrettes. I would suggest 2 of them placed about 2" apart in the center of the piece. Don't be afraid to place the vertically or on a slant so they get a good grip on the hair without bowing the barrette.

Hope that helps
