Creatividual Weren't you AGrlCanMac?? Do you still blog these days?

Lol yes I was. I do not update my hair blog anymore; haven't since earlier this year. i do still blog though. I have a creative lifestyle blog now.

I'm still here ladies and still bunning like crazy! I haven't worn my hair out at all yet this month out of pure laziness. I'm sure Ill wear it out for thanksgiving.

Protective styling is great for lazy folks like me! I can't believe I used to hate it.





I'd like to put my hair back in twists this weekend and leave them in for two weeks.

Ok I said i didn't like buns because of how they end up sitting on my head. Well I redid my bun but this time secured the elastic headband w/a couple bobby pins. Looks much better. I hate how the elastic rides up and makes the bun smaller.

 

[Growingmyhairlong]

Loving my bun today. Same cornrows at the side and this is the back.

 

[Victoria44]

Took my twists out yesterday and the day before,and it took unbelievably long. I see a tiny bit of grow but only in my nape which has never had any growth problems. The rest looks the same. I'm now in braids for a braid out for the next two days ... Then I'll keep my hair braided under a hat til Tuesday when I decide if I'm going to do a braid out or flat iron for thanksgiving.

 

[Froreal3]

See now this is the type of bun I like to rock....no bunorexia today!

Leslie_C As a fellow lazy hair person, this challenge is perfect for me. Lazy folk unite!

Update: Ok so i lied about the less shells, I ended up using all and going out to buy more beads.

Last night took my hair out, it was late so there was no pre-prepping or anything. I jumped in the shower, wet my hair, realized i didn't comb out the shed hair , jumped out to get a comb, admired my big fro....it was huge , washed my hair in 2 sections (shampoo and conditioned), tried finger combing while washing conditioner out (not sure about it but i am willing to try again when i have more time), braid in 4 sections and got out of the shower.

Then I undid each braid, divided each section in half, put conditioner on it, detanged, twist, took satin rollers and rolled them close to my scalp and bobby pin it, covered my hair and went to bed.

I'm planning on doing an experiment so i'll be back to update Sunday or Monday.

I like buns....but I love (flat) twists! just redid these after only 2 days....they were looking a mess (I was told & agreed lol)

Checkin in-- I've been alternating with buns and hair out this week. I want to try a new bun today. We will see...everyone have a great weekend!

 

[jprayze]

Ponytail to bun! My hair is super straight right now, so my hair looks thinner than usual but the length is making me happy!

She loved seeing my hair long and thick. I used to have incredibly heavy MBL hair as a middle schooler and then I got grown and messed it up She called it my crown and glory and I want to grow it long and strong for her.

puff to bun. I just rolled and pinned my hair to make the bun.

 

[ogmistress]

Decided to update again before I forget what i did.
Last night I wanted to put twist in my hair to try a twist out for Monday.
Twist was not looking right so I braided my hair (20 braids)ans put satin roller on the end.

[I almost forgot- i put water, conditioner and a little bit of gel before I braided my hair and i also finger detangled]

Today i took out the rollers, sprayed my hair with some water, sealed with oil, pulled hair back into a bun and pinned the braids back that didn't fit.

So it's a P.S. in a P.S= It's P'Sception
So I am planning to P'Sception til Monday.

 

[faithVA]

Took out my coils today and cowashed. Going to try to do a WNG If it doesn't work, don't know what I'm going to do

 

[BraunSugar]

Last night I washed, DC'd, did a blow out, dusted my ends, and installed a section of mini braids. I am going to braid today and tomorrow (if tomorrow is needed).

 

[pookaloo83]

Been bunning still.

This was yesterday. Hair is the same way today. I do take my bun down at night, spritz with water, M&S, the put in 4 big plaits. If I leave my bun in for more than 2 days it gets dry and tangly. I HAVE to take it down.

 

[Diva_Esq]

Checking in. Been rotating a braided wet bun, messy bun, high bun and tucked low bun.

 

[Fine 4s]

Going to bun this week too. We'll see about the following week.
