30 day bun challenge - Please join me!

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I am going to wear updo's and buns on non flatironed hair for the next 30 days starting tomorrow. It may not be a big deal but i've not gone 30 days without heat and I really would like to try it to gain all the benefits of no straightening.

Anyone up for just 30 days of buns/updo's without straightening? Heat is fine for for dc'ing etc, but specifically no flatironing, pressing of the hair, etc.

I am hoping at least a couple of people join because I would really like the support

ETA, the challenge starts 10/20.

[civic4800]

I'll join. I've been bunning for the last four weeks and haven't used direct heat and so far I'm liking the results! This is the first time ever that I've gone more than 2 weeks without flatironing/curling/applying heat to my hair so I want to ride this out as long as possible

ETA: I do flatiron my roots after my ponytail rollersets

 

[Christelyn]

Well, I'll be joining you by default because I'm part of the 1-year bun challenge posited by another member. I'm basically doing the same thing, with the exception of occasionally french braiding instead of bunning to prevent mechanical hair loss and roller-setting bangs (no heat, wet set, of course)

I definately want to join. I've started bunning 2 weeks ago. I'm almost 8 weeks post and I'm trying to stretch as long as possible without heat.

 

[luvn_life]

I'm in too. I was thinking about doing this anyway until I get my highlights done. So I'll be doing this too... YAY!!!

 

[sugarose]

I'll join you as well!

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Thanks ladies for the support!

Day 1 is today and i've busted out one of my flexi-8's that I haven't used in quite some time. I twisted my ends up and threw on the clip. Nice and simple

 

[SunnyDelight]

I'm in. I can hang with the bun for 30 days!!

 

[Junonia]

I'll join also. Now that winter is approaching, I will not be wearing my hair out as much.

 

[Nola Darling]

I'm going to join this one. I really need it.

 

[simplycee]

I'm in! I'll bun up longer than 30 days. The winter in MA is brutal on my hair so I start protective styling as soon I have to break out the sweaters. A 30 day challenge will be a nice start.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Thanks ladies and welcome! I started a list in the original thread

 

[LadyD]

Count me in!

Ladies, bunning is the TRUTH. I have been bunning my hair since Nov/Dce 07 and i have to say that it has allowed me to reach BSL from starting at so what of SL. At times i would get bored with just bunning my hair, but at the end i was very pleased with bunning. Lastly, i plan to bun until i reach my hair goal, which is MBL!

So GOOD LUCK with the 30 day Bunning Challenge!

 

[LunadeMiel]

I'm going to Join you... I'm going to start a day late though.

 

[AngelDoll]

Good luck ladies. I have been bunning since March '08 and have had great success. I am in another challenge, and I will be bunning my hair until October '09.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I'm game for supporting a sista!

How are you guys able to bun so long without going nuts?? I see the results that AngelDoll has and it's incredible

 

[asummertyme]

I will join u, i am just still trying to get the same braids out of my head so i can begin bunning...hopefully i can get them out by today... but how do you guys get your hair strait after a shower without heat?

 

[dlewis]

Good luck ladies. I bun 90% of the time and my hair loves it.

 

[TriniStarr]

Fabulousity to answer your question. when i first started bunning, I HATED IT. However, when i saw the results from bunning, i told myself i will be bunning until i reach my hair goal. My hair and i love bunning.

Plus i enjoy knowing that under my boring everyday bun i am my way to HEALTHLY STRONG MBL. So whenever, i think along those line, i sit back and smile.

SO IF I CAN BUN FOR THE PAST 8-9 MONTHS AND REACH BSL, SO CAN YOU AND THE OTHER LADIES IN THIS CHALLENGE.

GOOD LUCK,
Trinistarr

Can you airdry in twists or a rollerset?

 

[asummertyme]

Can you airdry in twists or a rollerset?

i dont know how to rollerset at all, i have tried and i am terrible at it...when you say twists, do u mean like a 2 strand all around the head?

 

[dalgal]

Count me in as well! I see I will be in very good company!

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Yes, do 2 strand twists to airdry in and then take them down when dry. Your hair should have a twist out texture that you hopefully throw into a bun

 

[Nola Darling]

I want to do a flexirod set to stretch out my hair...am I still qualified???

 

[sugarose]

Today I wet-bunned since I washed my hair before work.
I pretty much have bunned everyday for the last 2 years, so with this challenge I am going to try and find new ways to make bunning more interesting (ie accessories, different bun styles, ect).

 

[AVE One]

This is pretty much my everyday look. I can hang for 30 days. Sign me up!

 

[gdivant]

Count me in too! I was in a bun under my phony pony today. I've been bunning weekdays out on weekends since I joined in Sept. This will be a good starting challenge for me - 30 days straight.
