Wet Bun Without The Top Poofing

[CityGirlLuv]

My wet buns usually look great until the top part of my hair starts drying, then it becomes poofy. So I was wondering if anyone who has that trouble, how do they make it not poof? Or is it just because I have thick hair?

Yeah, I have thick hair and this happens to me too. I don't like it. I use gel and brush gently while damp.

What kind of gel do you use?

Either you're not using enough gel, you may have to wet it moreduring geling, or you need to tie a scarf on after gelling and leave it on for at least 10-15 minutes

if you have thick hair, the amount of product doesnt matter.
splinta24 has a video, where she uses a technique to get rid of the poof in the middle.

i do the following:

spray my hair with water till damp
apply water based moisturizer
apply gel
use elastic to make bun ( i just make a ponytail and the last time i twist it i don't pull the hair all the way through so its messy bun)
15-20 minutes before i leave the house while getting ready i tie my hair down with a scarf.

Well for the first time in my life I actually achieved it. I used a lot more shea butter than what I usually use and of course a mix of castor oil and almond oil like the Ancient Egyptians did and it worked. Oh and the rain we got today was a nice bonus for my hair!
