I started to rollerset last night and ended up doing an air dry bun too.

Me too :lol:

I was being rushed to go to a super bowl party and decided to just bun it up *shrugs*

I will probably co-wash this out and set on wed...heck, even tomorrow night

:blush:
 
I have to admit that i have been slacking with my buns. I am on a personal no heat challenge so i have been wet bunning and I think i need a break. I did mini twist on my hair friday and I have been loving it I can touch my hair and it moves lol. I think this may be my protective style for awhile.


Sorry ladies I failed this challenge.

If I feel that I am not making progress then I will be back to bunning because it is a definate way to retain length.

You didn't fail. When your twists get old, you can bun them up...when you take them down in between sets, you can bun them up.........
 
I'm back to not having a computer :( But I'm still bunning. I love my forks because they hold really well, but don't put pressure on my head. Yay!!
 
Ok I realize that I am behind on the times... but I've been wearing my hair in a ponytail bun for about a week and came to the conclusion that this may be the method to help grow and retain length...

My concerns:
I'm new to bunning but I see most of you that do have longer hair can play with different holders, my concern is the ponytail holder i use will thin out my hair, it seems counteractive. My hair is a natural 4b-ish texture that I blow dry (and sometimes) flat iron out, it comes to shoulder length in the back, what are some buns to do on "shorter" hair?

ETA: I mentioned my texture because the more I leave my hair in its curly state, the knottier my ends get, the more cutting i have to do, the less length i will retain. I'm determined this year!

I'm not sure if i officically joined, but I've been bunning since December... i've already gotten great progress...i am on a 2-week straightening break (for vacation and a wedding) but i can already feel myself getting paranoid about my ends! :lachen:

I wet bun seven days a week as I am transitioning long term and it's easier for me.

My starting length is cbl at front and a little longer at the back.

Dropping out. Buns are not for me. I am wearing my hair braided under my half-wig

Good luck to you all!
 
Question:
Is there a correct or better way to wet bun? I wore a bun on banded hair for a couple of days but then wet bunned the next day and got a ton of compliments (I didn't realize they were so different). So I would like to wet bun more (plus its easier than banding for a full day before doing my hair) I know hair is weaker when wet, so I was wondering is a there a better or gentler way to do it.
 
Hi ladies! Here are my buns from this week. The last pic is my "total give up" bun. I didn't feel like doing my hair that day. I just twisted, tucked, and clipped. :ohwell:

I'll try to get more creative next week.

im trying to get some ideas.my buns look so annorexic when my hair is straight but i love being able to detangle my hair everyday
 
Lurker checking in - I've been bunning since circa June '10 for the most part and I'm starting to desire variety so I've supplementing by wearing my half-wig and lace-front. I think bunning has worked wonders for my hair.

@sunnieb - you and your buns are straight fabulous! (((hugs))) to you!

Hi there! All I did when I first started my HHJ was bun my SL hair. I mainly used one of those foam doughnut thingies:

SBS-463605


Also, bun your hair after after doing a braidout, or bantu-knot out. It makes your hair look fuller.
 
divachyk - girl please! You know you are my bunning inspiration! I've recruited another bunner at my job. She loves your idea of using the little bun nets! :)

You can bun all the same as anyone else. The key is to not to wrap the bunned part of your hair to tight. The tighter you wrap it, the smaller the bun. The looser your wrap it, the juicier the bun.

The vid is a bit animated :grin: but check this out: YouTube - Quick 2 minute hair bun I bunned this way until I figured how to wrap my buns without making them look so tiny. My current method for bunning is detailed in my blog. See siggy. HTH!
 
How is everybody doing? I'm still in a bunning rut. I did something different though. Instead of my usual scrunchie ponytail as a bun base, I used a banana clip. Then I just fanned my hair out, rolled under, and pinned. It looks exactly the same as my normal bun without the stress of putting my hair in a ponytail so often.

That looks so nice. I like hair acessories that hold the hair flat because it gives voulme to my buns and ponytail. Plus they dont have as much tention.
 
Okay Im back. Again. :look: I have discovered a few things. I only have breakage when I bun on airdried hair. (First aha moment) And that silk scrunchies may help me the most when I bun because my thin edge on my right side caused by eczema limits me moving them around (Second aha moment). Now I have one question I tuck and spread my buns but what can I pin them with? I tried large bobby pins they left me with a thin spot in the middle of my head. I just recently tried the clips I use to roller set and that worked perfectly. No snagging or anything but when I took it down for the day it had a few pieces of hair in it. I think I have tried all clips there are to try but none of them work
