i can't give you no link to any pics but i can tell you how i wear my hair in a bun. i comb my damp hair into a ponytail and secure it with a healthy hair rubber (it's not really made of rubber, it's a soft material). then i take my ponytail and just twist it. then i twist it around the ponytail base. then i tuck my ends under and i'm done. hth.

I do my bun the same way as Nay007.

I just discovered a way to make a bun look fuller than it is and it looks good too.

I don't know if it's really a new discovery (it is said there is nothing new under the sun) or not but it works. I usually do my bun low at the nape but it can be anywhere on the head. This is for hair that's already dry (airdried in my case) but I will try it tonight on my wet bun.

I smooth all of my hair back with my hands and towards the bottom at my nape I divided it into. I roll my left side towards the left (like a French Twist/Roll) and pin the ends in with Good Hair Days pins. I do the same with my right side, rolling the hair towards the right and pinning the ends in. Both rolls should be side by side. Then I smooth my hair back again (as if I'm making a ponytail) and secure a scrunchie around the two rolls I just created. I don't double up the scrunchie to make it tight (I just haven't tried that yet) , I just put it around the rolls and it looks like one, fuller, pretty looking bun. An elastic may work just the same instead of a scrunchie.

If you try it, please let me know how you like it (or don't like it) or if you have any suggestions. I'm still experimenting with other ideas...
