Headwear for religous reasons

Oft times, a yamulke is kept in place by using a bobby pin. How were they kept in place so efficiently?

There was something like that, I couldn't quite tell. I think it was more like a collection of small pins that, when put together in the hair, made the yarmulke fairly static. When players would adjust them, it didn't look like they were clamping anything, just rotating the yarmulke as if to "dig it in" a little bit.

If anyone Jewish is reading this and I'm wrong, I mean no offense.
