In my blog you will see a few donut buns. I was using a donut and a sock (alternated between the two) to bun last year when I could not figure out how to bun with my own hair. I cover my donut/sock with a satin scarf. I purchased a small half scarf from Sally's and just wrapped it around my donut/sock. I prefer to wrap it with the satin scarf vs. hair. I think it protects my hair better. Here's a pic of my sock bun covered with the scarf.

Question for everyone:
I've been bunning for most of the summer now. My problem is, I don't know how to have second, third, etc day bun without taking it down and putting it back up. When I need to redo it, I usually take it down moisturize, seal and smooth my edges down/back (I don't comb or finger detangle my hair) and put it back up.
Is this more than what you guys normally do? Do you just bun it and leave it in until wash day? My hair is very porous and dries out and despite using satin scarves, etc, my hair looks HAM the next day - especially after the gym. How protective is the style if I have to redo it almost every day?

Im lazy and I dont like to bother my hair, so I leave the same ponytail in for 3-4 days and I cowash or do a full wash day. But in between that time I do M&S my ends, even baggy them too. Heck I figure 3 days wont hurt.....

So you do take it down to M&S? I cowash or shampoo every 3-4 days too. Anything more would be gross for me.

No, I just do whatever is hanging out the ponytail.....like I just leave the holder on.
If you dont wanna actually take the bun itselt down spray it with AVJ or something.

I will try to find a way to keep my hair from looking HAM the next day (especially after the gym). Maybe I should start using something to hold my edges together - pomade or gel...

Thats not a bad idea, I do this daily and I dont have any problems. I am guessing bc I cowash midweek.

greenandchic - I use Bee Mine Curly butter for edges and nape. Place hair in bun. Don't forget your hair net! Tie hair up with scarf. Workout out. Hair remains intact.
I take my bun out 2x daily, M&S then bun it back -- morning and night. I consider it low-manipulation because I'm not brushing, combing or rough handling my ends -- just spritzing then smoothing oil on them.
I think 2 months in to my HJ, I'm grazing WL -- which is my interim goal. The retention has definitely been from bunning and wrapping it at night. Everything else in my current reggie is open to change but not these two!
(Excuse the back fat and no starting pic. I haven't flat ironed my hair since Feb. I joined LHCF knowing I was somewhere around BSB/MBL so I think my hair's grown 1.5-2" since end of June.)

Good Luck ZebraPrintLover. I'd love to see pics of the wig. I have several wigs but I just can't make them look realistic enough to wear to work. I'm comfy wearing them around town but not so much with wearing them to work.
