Bunning Challenge for 2011.

[Fhrizzball]

Had trouble swirling my hair this morning, but the bun net is holding everything in place!

I love those bun colors I just wish I could get a bun cover in black they're all brown where I live. I still use them though I try not to because of the mismatching color.

Fhrizzball - why not order online from Sally's or ebay?

Oh wowie! Such a small world. Hiya big sis

Welcome to the challenge!

@sunnieb - used the bendini clip and love it, so much that I went back to Walgreen's and purchased a white one.

I'm not the best at doing reviews but here goes - the clip is small but sturdy. The downside to it being small means that comb placement is vital to keeping the style in place and that I can only use it a select few ways but that's okay, it provides me with enough variety that I can give my hair a break from bunning but still protective style. The comb portion of the clip doesn't pull, tug or snag the hair. It's really as easy as the infomercial suggests - bend and snap! It only took me a couple of tries to figure out where to place the comb. Once I got that part down, it was truly easy peasy. The pics are HORRIBLE because my hair in wind blown from it being super duper windy today and pics are blurry because my dh is at work and I was trying to snap them myself. At least it gives you a fuzzy visual of what my hair looked like in the bendini clip. I wrapped my hair in something like a figure 8 (kinda like figure 8 Krispy Kreme donut), placed bendini in and voila! Oh and the best part is, that little clip holds all the hair, no other pins needed.

^^^ divachyk gorgeous hair as always! Not sure if I want to try that clip just yet.

My hair is in a bun today, but my newgrowth is actually pushing the hairpins out! Whew! I'll be so glad when Friday gets here so I can do my relaxer! Here's a pic:

I have to keep pushing my pins in place every so often just to keep my bun up. This newgrowth is putting up a good fight! Lol!

Yes, it is. I am R-E-A-D-Y!

So I'm trying my hand at wet bunning this week. I seem to get too much shrinkage to bun properly just doing braidouts. Also I have fallen in love with Giovanni SAS conditioner as a leave in. That with EVCO and/or grapeseed oil and my hair feels almost silky.

 

[sunnieb]

My bun net is hanging on for dear life, I have hair pins sticking out on one side, and my newgrowth is still fighting me. Ugh! Still bunnin' though!

Loving Conterria's half-up/half-down look, I rocked this last week with a pompadour in the front because my hair was too thick to lay down flat on my head! Just CW'd last night and did a simple wet bun using an "Ouchless" elastic and a scrunchie over top to contain the ends--will rock this for a while, or until nxt wash. Wet bunning is my go-to style during the spring and summer.

ETA: My starting length is APL stretched, shoulder length unstretched, seen here http://fotki.com/JewellJ. For now my hair shrinks too much while damp to wear buns not secured with an elastic or hair clip, but once it grows out some, I will use my hair sticks, hair pins, etc. This is such a gr8 challenge for me while I'm in this grow-out phase.

I've kept it bunned alot lately just havent been checking in

igotta make sure to change the position of my bun every now and then..

 

[MsSonya]

Just checking in. I have been bunning daily. Yesterday, though, my little protective phony bun decides to fall off my hair and fly away in the wind....while I was shopping. I really liked that piece. (sigh).

 

[sunnieb]

Hey bunning divas!

I relaxed on Friday, so I had to whip my hair back and forth for a few days. I'm back to bunning full time now.

Here's today's bun:

Girl what? Are you okay (emotionally)?

 

[MsSonya]

I dont think anybody noticed. But I still wasnt brave enough to go and run behind it. My poor little pig tail wasn't strong enough to hold it up. It was kinda funny since I have always been afraid of that happening.

sunnieb- my Mom is supposed to dance for her 1st grade class to that song. I will loan her my WL wig.
