Bun for Growth Challenge

I know it's late but I need to also join this challenge. I have been on here for years and this is my first one. I will hopefully post a pic of my length in October and how I wear my bun now. Good luck ladies! My goal is to reach BSL by the summer but it might be earlier if I can retain more of my length....

I think i will join, funny enough im wearing a bun today beacuse i just took out some extentions.

Last night i was just thinking i wouldn't mind giving it a go, bunning my hair everyday but like others im slightly concerned about the stress it may put on my edges.

I normally wear my buns in a ponytail and then tucking the ends under - im not sure if that is safe because im worried it will make my ends thin, so if anyone has any tips please share. I don't think my hair is long enough to do a sock bun yet so i can't really think of other ways to wear my bun.

Here is a pic of what my typical bun looks like.

Awww thank you Scarcity. To be honest there is not much that i do, what i always do is moisterise and plait my hair at night usually into four sections or two if im feeling lazy, that way my hair doesnt shrink and matt up during the night.
By morning my hair is stretched and easy to handle and i just moisterise and stick it into the bun.
I'll use my denman brush to lightly neaten up the edges.

My hair is still mostly about shoulder length so im still just tucking my ends under to create my bun. I don't know if i can achieve other styles because i simply have't tried.

I've tried the wet bunning and i find i end up pulling my hair too tight because no matter what my hair still shrinks to a degree when it's wet.

What a gorgeous bun, it looks so full, thick and healthy. I see u have LHCF in the background there too :grin:
 
After all my years of wearing buns they are still raggedy. How do you ladies get yours to look so round like doughnuts? They're so pretty and full.:yep:
 
I am in... anyways I am already a bunner, I don't mind wearing buns all week long during the winter. I am currently BSL and hope to be WL by Oct 09. We'll see :)
 
Getting real excited here! I will be joining this challenge as soon as my C&G is over December 2008. :yep: I'll start with 6months. And I will definitely have to wear some type of phony until my NL/SL hair grows. Whoohoooo.....here I come!!:grin:

I add weave hair, pin around my hair, wrap around and pin again.

My hair is cut in layers so if I tried to wrap my hair around in a bun little hairs would be sticking out. I like the convenience of wrapping hair around my hair because I am also protecting my hair at the same time.:yep:

Thanks!

It was very very easy.

I just took a small section and 2 strand twisted it and then wrapped it around the ponytail holder. Then I took another small section of the other side and twisted it and wrapped it in the opposite direction of the first one. Keep doing it until you finish. Also use bobby pins to hold the hair into place.

I added some golden beads to my bun so get creative. Tomorrow I may add a cowrie shell to the center, depending on how it looks.

Also instead of twists you can do braids.
 
I'm cheating and doing a faux bob today.... Hey, my ends are still wet and hidden, so it still counts, right? :look:

ur welcome..what products do u use to moisturise? how long is ur hair? im sorry for the 1000 and 1 questions but im finding it hard to believe that Im not able to make a bun with just my own hair, not extras needed, the shrinkage is outta this world:(
 
OKAY! I'm in this!
I just learned to bun my shoulder length/15 weeks post hair.

I'm so pumped:yep:
Now i just need something to moisturize my ends with everyday,and i should be straight.

I want to join. I was BSL for 2 seconds yesterday after my touchup. I had planned on trimming when I reached my goal which is BSL but I had to hack off about 2.5 inches. My ends were a mess. I noticed a lot of breakage and my hair wouldn't hold a curl.
