Ahh...Little bun

[uncutandgettinglonger]

Ok yall, I have a pet peeve/phobia. Little ponytail's/buns. You know what I mean, when a sista goes to put up her hair, and there is just a little dingleberry of a pony tail there.

Well now, I'm afraid that I might have one. I don't know if it is because my hair is shrinking from relaxing, or if it has never been that thick to begin with. I don't know. All know is that whenever I put my hair up with a hair tie, my ponytail looks SAD...

maybe my perception is thrown off because most of the buns/ponytail's that I see are on women with hair that is at LEAST waist length.

Tell me I'm not trippin'

LMAO, the infamous minipony/bun.

I had one back in HS. Then I started wearing braids. This spanish girl in my class said. "Eiano, I can't remember what your hair used to look like before braids anymore!!!" I was like: "Remember, I wore a bun" ..and she started laughing.. I know why

Well you can always add hair, like wrap Kanekalon around the real bun with the baggie method type! Hang in there girl, trust me... it gets better!!

I have the same peeve. Even now, my buns still look sickly sometimes...especially if I bun it while it's still damp and it dries that way. But when I take it down, WOOF! A big rush of hair falls and then I feel better.

You're right...the longer the hair, the thicker the bun appears, not necessarily b/c the hair is thicker but b/c there's just more to wrap/braid/twist up in there.

Like Eiano said, it'll get better...especially if you stretch your relaxers (my experience).

MY Buns look anorexic too, and I'm close to bra length. They only look good when I use a donut or socks, other than that they look GheTTo!

mine too. i'm at the bottom of my brastrap and my hair is thick. yet when i do a bun, only the bun, it looks like someone slapped the smallest little turd back there. maybe i don't do my buns the right way.

Ladies, Ladies! Don't sweat the anorexic buns! Go and get yourself a "Girlfriend" (Phony Pony, hair piece, etc.) Slap your Girlfriend on and get a whole new look!

Do y'all bun with your hair bone straight? Maybe trying doing a bun after a twist out or something to give it more fullness (i.e. similar to JenniferMD's ripple effect bun).

Maybe I should try to do that. I make a poofy pony tail after a bantu knot our (see fotki) that is a reasonable size.

Can I be honest?

If you trimmed your hair your ponytail would look thicker. As for the buns I get the most full buns when I blow dry my hair with a comb attachment.

 

[hunnybunny81]

If I were to give my honest opinion as well...I think you should trim your hair....I agree with qtgirl, I think it would look much thicker afterwards....

 

[MizAvalon]

So, now we have ghetto BUNS?

Thank you all for being honest. I agree that my bun would probably look thicker if I trimmed, however, for me that isn't an option.

 

[qtgirl]

Is it a religious thing? I ask because I know some ppl. don't want to cut for that reason.

Same here. I actually had a guy ask me how I got all that hair into such a small bun - like I did it on purpose.

I suppose you can say that. It is a personal conviction of mine.

CTFU@ "like I did it on purpose."

I heard that! I used to wear draw string ponies and I would wrap them into a bun myself! I would get compliments all the time... and all the while I had my baggie underneath!
