Bunning Challenge for 2011.

[Loverain]

Checking in: I just cowashed and put my hair in a bun. I took a 2 day pass for the new year celebrations. I wore a wash and go, it was cute but I had my hands in my hair too much. Buns are my friend.

 

[TruMe]

Can I still join? I guess since I am 2 days late (and finished wearing out my flat 2 strand twist-out) that I will be getting no day off passes this month and next month. That's cool. I am trying to bun to retain length and boost my growth.

Name: TruMe
Starting length: A few centimeters from APL (LOL), I think
Method of bunning: wet bunning and then following up with bunning on dry hair on the days I did not co-wash or wash my hair
# of days you will be bunning: 5 (I love to wear my hair out too much so the weekends are going to have to be my play time)
Starting Pic: I will post this later this week when I do my mid-week wash.

Welcome new challengers! Please feel free to pm me if I left anyone off the list.

Funny Story: I was at work today and the supervisor came to the floor. I was just beginning the process of reinserting my hairstick because it was poking me in the neck. My hair is flat ironed right now, and my supervisor goes, "Hi JML, I didn't know you had long hair." I'm like *who? me* She said she had never seen me with my hair down! I guess I never realized how hardcore I am with my buns lol!

If its not too late, I'd like to join. I've been bunning the last 2 weeks out of sheer laziness, but I still moisturize and seal 2x daily (in the AM when I finger comb into a bun, and when I get home/take bun down, pin up and cover) I've noticed less shedding/breakage, so will keep this up for a while.


Name: Zee
Starting length:NL
Method of bunning: bunning on dry hair for now, maybe wet bunning when it gets warmer
# of days you will be bunning: at least 6

would love to see the buns everyone is wearing. Also bunning reggies would be nice too.

I tried to do twists then bun them but I hate how twists look on me now so I keep taking them down. I'm dc-ing/overnight baggy with HETT mixed with a bit of henna. Don't know how I'm going to bun as I fail with hair sticks and don't want to use hair ties. We'll see how it goes as i'm still tweaking my reg.

OK divachyk! I clicked on the last post, saw your bun and automatically my face zoomed in on the screen (I'm talking less than a foot from the screen) and I went "holy crap!" THAT is the effect your juicy bun had on me. I'ma need you to do some kind of tutorial or pictorial or verbaltorial on that bun cos I need it in my life!!!!!!!!!

 

[curlycrocheter]

just checking in! I've been wearing my hairstick-buns on mostly flat ironed hair. A modified version of the pencil bun is my go-to style. It's quick and easy and looks surprisingly elegant.

Right now my hair is curly. So it's back to chignons. Still going hard 7 days a week baby!

Phew! I made it another week with keeping my hair up in a bun every day. It has really been doing my hair good as far as retaining moisture throughout the day.

 

[wavezncurlz]

I brought out my flexi-8 this week.

Hi, I'm not in the challenge, but am heavily lurking and learning.

I do have a question for all you bunners, what do you define as a bun? Must the ends be tucked in or does a "tails up" (a la flexi8/claw clip) count as a bun too?

Now that I write this, the answer seems more clear, but to clarify, is the point to tuck the ends or merely keep them up and away from friction?

 

[mostamaziing]

everytime ithink of bunning ithink of wet bunning

You compliment me but clearly Yeah...that bun is the bomb!

I can't wear my hair down anymore it seems. I get so paranoid about my ends being out that even if I set out to wear it down, it winds up in a bun in no time flat!

Ends tucked all the way in is what I think of when I think of buns. But because of the length of my hair, sometimes I can't get my ends all the way tucked under. If that happens, I try to "pull" hair over my exposed ends.

 

[BGT]

I'm joining this challenge because my hair is getting so fine. I need to thicken it up. I will be doing dry buns in the winter but by summer, I will do wet buns.
