Fashionable buns to try

[Lucia]

Double F8 or Butterfly bun,I can barely do 1 figure 8 much less a double here it is

Inst: you separate hair into 2 sections an twist do 1 F-8 slanted/diagonal then the other going the other direction slanted/diagonal, place 2 hair sticks, maybe a couple good days hair pins could hold it too.

I love this! I didn't understand the instructions though. I need them spelled out for me like a 5 year old. I would love to try this if I could understand how to do it.

When you twist the 1st section do a half bun on the upper side then twist down and do a lower half bun--this on a diagonal not straight up and down and then repeat with the other.
Instructions from the woman who did this.
I just put my hair back like I was doing a bun and separated it into two pieces. I took the right side and made a figure eight bun going slightly to the left. Then I took the left side and made another figure eight, it going to the right, overlapping the first figure 8. I made the hairsticks came out each loop of the figure eight because I don't really do it very well without doing that. It would probably look nice with the hairstick in the slightly back position too rather that in the middle of the loop.

For those of you who don't know how to do a figure eight, just twist your hair and keep it twisting until it makes a coil. Then keep twisting, putting the extra twists under the top loop. Then take the top loop and lift it all the way up, and it will make a figure eight

I think I understand. I'm going to try this tonight. If it comes out decent I'll post a pic.
