Bun for Growth Challenge

[asummertyme]

I'm still bunning.. I am in nurture mode so I'll be bunning this whole fall and winter months....

me too, my ends have havent looked this good in a long while...they are just too happy..

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

Hey LMH! Where'd you get that cute accessory? Now that's one you can dress up or down. I'd like to do more with my buns and that right there, would set it off!

 

[luvmesumhair]

I get them from here:

I love them! They are strong but not stressful on your hair!

 

[vestaluv1]

So, I take it that it still counts if I wear a phony pony over my buns?
If so, I'm in!
I'll be doing this every day and only plan to relax, use heat and wear my hair down once every three months.

That's my plan! Sounds good. Add me to the list.

 

[mahogany_horizons]

Can we still do this? I only wear my hair out at relax time, and then I may do a roller set the next week, and then its straight back to buns for the rest of the time.

At night, I pull down that section of my nape and moisturize it until it is really wet, seal w/oil, bring back up with the rest of my hair and tie up with my doo-rag. In the morning b4 I put it up in my bun, I moisturize it some more(but not really wet), seal w/oil and just bun it up.

Do you have a photobucket account? I find it easier to upload pics and to post thru them..its basically copy and paste...
also, have you tried elasta qp mango butter on your edges or cantu shea butter...i find these really help me, my edges get dry..very dry as well..

 

[lwilliams1922]

I just found a jar of elesta mango butter!

I just put some on my hair with a bit of oil then wrapped.

I don't have the cantu but I've been putting pure shea butter on it.

Does everyone sleep with the bun?

 

[paradise79]

I hope everybody is doing well with bun. As I'm concerned, the wet bunning continue.

I usually sleep with a bun or a braid. But i undo the bun I wear the whole day, moisturize and seal and then do a looser bun in a position different from the one I had during the day, or a braid. I try to give a rest to hair, especially the back in the night.

I tried Elasta mango butter and it was . But after a while a started shedding and breakage; it appears that I need to cut off on protein so I stopped for a while. It worked wonder for edges.

Ok, I want in. I have been bunning all this week and I'm ok with it. I love how it feels and I don't have to worry about the hair that's out getting frizzy-which it will-or getting messed up/damaged. I will post some starting pics again when I get home. I was APL but don't think I am anymore because I chopped an inch of bad ends.

 

[ImFree27]

How is everyone doing, how are you wearing your bun this coming week, pics will be nice...

 

[dicapr]

I'm in. I'll post pictures after this week's wash. I bun most of the time anyway. I love twists and puffs but my hair knots up too much with these styles.
