Bunning Challenge for 2011.

I just got done washing my hair and willbe going back into my bun. Once I am fully puffy airdried I will start molding my hair for my bun until my nxt wash day on Thursday. I am going out tomorrow night and I want to have a really big bun...I might gotta see if I have some hair somewhere around here if not Im going to the BSS and buy me a bag of 99cent hair and use a little of that to keep it big. Im done that bc when I M&S the oil and stuff weights down my hair not giving me my fullness that I wanna keep throughout the week.

Do any of you sleep in your bun (not take it down until wash day), or do take it down nightly?

ShawnC I take my buns down nightly to moisturize. I like to sleep with my hair loose in my bonnet.

I did a banana clip bun today:

winona thanks for that. I will be on the hunt for one of those today!

sunnieb I am glad to know that. I would wear my buns for a few days in a row and it would be more dry and a little tangled. So this should nix that issue.
 
After seeing all the lovely pics here, I was more adventurous with my bun yesterday. But couldn't get a good pic of the back!

I with a high ponytail with a horizontal banana clip; folded half my hair under, fanned it out and clipped in place. Then folded the remaining half up, fanned and clipped. I had a hair halo. Put on a double headband and off I went! The fact that some of the curls got loose added to it imo.

I got so many compliments on my 'greek-inspired' hair! It was cute and easy.

Back to a rolled bun with hairstick today.
 
Did a high bun using a banana clip and a couple bobby pins

If I have a fresh relaxer I take it down nightly. If I am more than 6wks post I mold my hair with gel and wrap lotion and leave that same bun in for 3 days until I wash. I take the end of the ponytail down and M&S it but thats about it.

One sideways flat 2 strand twist going into a bun....sounds weird but actually cute. I have had thisone in for 2 days and all I needed was 3 body pins to secure the bun. Once I get it neat and cute I will take a picture.....hopefully tomorrow.
 
I've been bunning and taking photos but haven't had the time to upload. My go to bun is a simple twist secured with a hair stick. I'll try to take a pic of that along with my bun from Monday.

Monday's bun was simply horizontal banana clip around my twists (too lazy to take them out). Have of the twists I flipped forward and under; the other half I flipped back and under -- then put on a headband. Couple of twists fell out but it added to the look. (sorry I am not good taking pics of back of my head)

Today's bun -- simple twist held in place with 2-prong hairstick. Love the simplicity of this and I can take it down during the day to spritz with water/avj.

I like the 1- or 2-prong hairsticks best -- the 3-prong doesn't go through my hair smoothly and I have to keep adjusting it. But with this I can go to the gym and run on the treadmill.

Ok @mEmYSELFaNDj I bought the Goody hair clip and cannot do the southern tease bun. Some of my hair keeps coimg down. How do you get the hair to stay in the hair clip?

Sometimes that happens to me too. You just have to make sure your ends are tucked in with the hair that is actually being clipped. You will get it just keep trying until you get it to your liking.
 
Liking the buns ladies, keep it coming. Im just doing my same ol' bun, nothing special. This bun is so simply and sleek and I love it so much.
 
Anyone have a good baggy bun tut? I've attempted this a number of times but can't seem to hide the baggy. I know the member AdoraAdora24 baggy bunned a lot but not sure if she actively posts any longer.

Is it too late to join this challenge? I'm a newbie and bunning since the beginning of July and would love to join if the challenge is still open!
 
Hey ladies! I'm still here, going strong. I have my hair braided up in individual braids (no weave) and I bunned it up for the weak so I don't manipulate it. The ends of the braids have already unravled a little but I don't really care.

I'm still a bit impatient with the length I have now. I wish it was a bit longger so I don't have to use bands to bun my hair, I would be able to finally use my spin pins or hair sticks.

SN:regina07 what kind of camera did you use for your pics? I love the quality and I'm out digi cam shopping (excuse my randomness)
