All you ladies have such beautiful hair and bun designs! My buns are pretty boring, lol. Recently, (like last night) I decided to begin flat-ironing/pressing my natural hair to make it more manageable and also so that I can do more styles (due to shrinkage it is hard to even get my hair to stay in a bun without use of pins and scrunchies).
Also, I think flat-ironing will help in the health and maintenance of my hair (though it's healthy, I noticed I do get SSKs and mats, and only way to prevent them is to keep my hair straight or in braids/twists in between washes). I was bunning while curly, and I'll continue to bun while straightened. I plan to straighten my hair once per month if all goes well (takes a long time wash to finish). I love buns, they are so chic.
