Yea ladies please post. I can make a small bun - but I'd be interested in seeing some of your work or links to FOTKIs with great buns.

Traycee does the BEST buns....your 11YO will love them...and you will too.

You can actually do them on your hair with some fake hair from the BSS. I basically copied her look for less than $2 (the cost of a bulk pack of hair, like braiding hair).

I do that, but one of tracycee's buns weren't sold in the BSS or it was too small so I had to make it up on my own.

I love Traycee's buns too! It's really amazing how we can style up a simple bun, and have it look really nice. It's a great protective style too. I love them! Here are some of mines..

Try dressing them up with lots of cute accessories. Claire's has really cute ones. You could try the little ponytail holders with the scarf on the end, flowers, hair combs, hair sticks with the danglies on the end, bracelets made with elastic...there's so many options. Also try placing the bun in different locations. High in the crown for a little ballerina look, low and to the side for a sassy look or add a flower for a tropical look, low and in the middle for a conservative look, you know mix it up a little.

[Hot40]

Thanks ladies for all of the photos, but I am a little special.
I do not now how to even start. and I think I need to

Thanks! Actually with the exception of the chinese bun and the messy bun on the end, the others were done with hair a little past shoulder (when I did my 6" chop last year). That was a great length for bunning with the donut. I found they make the best buns for hair that length. I got the foam donut from the BSS and found a silky sock that my hair didn't snag in and I wrapped the donut with the sock two times and cut the rest off. I pulled my hair through the donut (you can make a ponytail first to make it easier, but I didn't), then fanned my hair out all around the donut. Then I take a small satin scrunci (if you want it hidden) or you can use a larger one and slide it down over the fanned out hair. Liberally moisturize the ends of the hair and twist the hair gently wrapping around and underneath the donut until all the hair is underneath. Done!
