[AlliCat]

@AlliCat - Heck no! Get on in here!

Ooooh! That bun is your siggy is ! Tutorial please!

Thank you!! To make it, I put my hair in a high ponytail with an ouchless band. then pinned the ends with a bobby pin and fluffed and fanned to create volume. It's simple that its not tutorial worthy

Here's a yt vid I found that would give similar results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5-ZHYYbKd0&feature=fvsr

I did the exact same thing minus the hairspray, teasing and twisting it around

Playing with my tween niece's natural 4b flat ironed hair and pulled out the bendini.
:cute:

 

[SuchaLady]

Its getting hot as Lord knows where I am so I know my bunning will not fall off. I am getting so discouraged though. I feel like my progress since my cut isnt where it should be; though my ends are still so thick which I love. I know the health of my hair is whats most important and the health of it is great so I should be fine right?

Banana Bun on old roller set hair

1. Banana Clip hair (affix banana clip horizontally on hair)
2. Pin with good days hair pins

 

[AlliCat]

^ What an elegant updo @divachyk. Thanx for sharing

 

[wavezncurlz]

divachyk - that is gorgeous! Can you explain how you did that?

Here's my messy bun with new bendini. I got the whole packet plus the kiddie packet for my girls.

 

[divachyk]

wavezncurlz -- sure thing....

1. Slick hair back and grasp it with your hand as though you will be applying a ponytail holder. I grasp with my left hand.

2. (right hand) Take a banana clip and place it horizontally on your hair so that the clip is pointed left to right instead of up and down.

3. You should be left with the rest of your hair hanging out of the banana clip.

4. Fan the hanging hair around the banana clip. I loosely fanned the hair so that I could cover the banana clip as much as possible. I wanted to give off the look of a full bun and not show the banana clip.

5. Pin hair with good days hair pins.

My hair is curly because of an old roller set. I've tried this look on straight/air dried hair and it doesn't look as good because the curls set off the look.

Good to hear I'm soo glad it worked for you!!

I just cowashed my hair and I have to leave soon, so I'm going to try wet bunning for the first time.

 

[mostamaziing]

I cowashed last night and didn't bother flat ironing ithink I'm gonna start wet bunning from now on since the weathers getting warmer it's a lot less manipulation too

 

[RegaLady]

Still bunning with twists. Moisterize with Scurl(I am in love with this stuff) and seal with coconut oil. Tomorrow is wash day. So I will wash, DC with ORS replenishing pack, add Kimmaytube leave-in, scurl, moisterize, seal and twist. Then put all in a bun with bobby pins. I am retaining very well! This is my summer style.

 

[sunnieb]

I couldn't resist buying this bunning tool today:

It's very easy to put in and take out. Here are a few pics of me practicing with it:

I'll keep working with it to get my buns looking neater. One good thing about this tool its that I don't have to use a scrunchie to hold my hair in a ponytail. The spiral holds the bun securely in place.

Ok, divachyk you are gonna make me do a rollerset this weekend just to try and get this look! Gorgeous!

 

[divachyk]

sunnieb - it works great on air dried hair also. At first I didn't think so, but now that I got the hang of it, I can make my banana buns look like my regular buns except I'm using a banana clip not a cut up stocking for my ponytail holder.
