Bun for Growth Challenge

[tiffers]

Still wet bunnin and lovin it I'll post a pic later today after I wash it. Today is wash day, yippee!

(why do I get excited when it comes to hair? )

lwilliams1922: Since I've been using Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Miracle Worker, my dry nape has been a thing of the past To answer your other question, I sleep in my bun at night and redo it in the morning

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

:scratchch Soooooo hows your bunning coming along

Oh wait are YOU even still wearing them LoL

 

[asummertyme]

bunning has been really great for me so far, i hardly have any breakage at all, my hair seems like it is really enjoying the break..i dont comb it at all unless its for detangling..so i think the combination of the bunning and no comb is really working for me..

Thanks for bumping ^^^ I've been looking for this thread. Subscribing! I have been wearing my hair down for the past several days, I got my touch up. This weekend I will get back on the bunning grind.

I'm in on this challenge. Sorry I'm late...I just came across this thread! I'm planning to bun 6 to 7 days a week. I'm going to experiment with doing my bun with a ponytail holder and ones without one, to see which one I prefer. Good luck ladies!

I think I registered for this...I still bun and will till....ever I think. I started my journey almost a year ago and I'm bunning since then (with some exceptions in summer).

I recently figured how to fingercomb so now I detangle and comb on wash day only. I made a record last week : i was so lazy that I did'nt cowash twice a week as usual. I spent 1 whole week fingercombing every evening while moisturizing and changing the position of my bun. I always wondered how can some ladies just go days without combing or brushing. I'm so glad I'm doing it now: less shedding and manipulation.

Asummertyme, good for you and keep it up. I hope this combination will also work for me.

I'm out. Hangs head in shame. I put in micros and was bunning them... but I started to suspect breakage, and BOY what breakage I got. So I put in a weave.

 

[Luscious850]

Im out of my weave now so its back to bunning for me, I'll post an update pic of my bun. I can actually wear a loose bun now, YAY!!

This is cool. I took out my kinky twists yesterday and told everyone I was bunning my hair the next year, so you know I want to be this challenge.

[lwilliams1922]

wet bunning problems?

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

I'm still wet bunning.
I notice my hair gets dry during the day so I started sealing it with some oil before bunning it.

My hair stays wet but the last 2 days I notice it has a sour smell the next morning. I've been co washing every day and bunning with conidioner as a leave in.

I rinsed with ACV and changed the type of oil. It still happned the next day.

Is anyone else sealing with oil?

any thoughts?

 

[asummertyme]

^^ no that hasnt happned to me...if you use one of the fabric pony o's to make your bun, maybe thats the culprit..i seal with oil too...

hmmm..
I used a black dress sock, nylon maybe?

I can keep loooking for a black coton sock.
It just seems weird that it came all of the sudden??

 

[glamazon386]

I plan on bunning at least until first of the year. I've been washing my hair on sunday and wearing it bunned until the following sunday.

Do you wash or change that sock daily? I hae noticed that my head scarfs get smelly quickly when I wet bun, I have to change them every 3 days or less. A dress sock material probably doesn't breathe very well. How does the sock smell?
