Bunners, check this link for a big messy bun. I'm gonna try it but I will puff out my hair with my fingers instead of teasing with a brush.

This won't be an every day bun, for the most part I will be wet bunning. I plan on using this to get another day's wear out of a wet set.

Hi ladies,
I'm joining the challenge if not too late. I'm a master bunner
. I'm bunning since I discovered LHCF (1 year in december). I need to update my siggy though. I rock braid-out sometimes in summer but I'm definitely back to bun at least 6/7.
I spritz my hair at least once a day (or when needed) with mix of S-curl+a bit water+glycerin+bay St thomas EO, and seal with a mix of coconut+castor oil. And that's it. Hope to be full APL for my B-day in april 09.

My hair is still not long enough in the back. I tried to force the bun, but my hair never did stay in the scrunchie completely. I also think my edges more damaged. I guess I will be doing my busted flat twists.

Pls add me. I would love to join!
ETA: I forgot to add that for the most part, I will be wearing my bun Mon thru Fri. Weekends, I may wear it out depending on how I feel and how my hair is acting at the moment. I also will be washing and DC'ing once a week and moisturizing every morning before I put it up into a bun for work.
I will also be using fake hair to wrap around my bun until my hair is long enough to go without it.
I will also post my starting pics in the other thread this weekend after I wash it.

For those of you who wet bun daily, meaning everyday, how do you do it? Is it soaking wet?

yeah. I'm addicted to daily washing now so I pretty much wet bun everyday. I just make sure I am well moisturized, especially the ends.

Ladies, is anyone else having to use a heavier moisturizer or styling aid for winter? For some reason this weather is defeating my scarf method and my edges/around my bun is fluffy in a few hours.
I don't want to use regular hair gel, suggestions? I usually bun dry.

Yup the winter I need extra moisture, if you don't want to use gel, use suave frizz free cream its in an organge bottle its really good, or you can make your gel with flaxseed.. The cantu shea butter also helps to lay it down..

Although i'm not afficial joining this challenge, I am goin to try bunning for a while. I'm neck length, am Iam using a "sock donut" to make my bun. My question is this: Do I take my bun down daily and redo it after moisturizing, or do I do it 3 times a week. I am trying not to brush my hair too much, so...just wondering.

It's up to you. A member, Nichole (I think she is on here too but she told me on BHM), does hers weekly and only takes down on wash day. She sprays the bun nightly I think in between that. I have tried that way and it didn't really work for me after too long bc of all the extra tangles I got
What I do now is try to take it down @ least every other day, usually try to CW and moisturize/apply MT. Then right back up it goes! I don't brush my hair hardly at all to do my bun, BTW. I just kind of smooth it with my hand and put it up. The only thing I may brush is my edges. You can scarf it down at night if you don't want to brush. It will give the same effect by morning. HTH

Im doing good, i think im liking this bun challenge even tho im still using the same boring 'tucking my ends under' style. I've just been keeping the front flat twisted to relieve the stress on my edges.
I always take my bun down everyday to moisterise before bed and just twist it up, then in the morning i moisterise again and put it back into a bun.
