How Long Did It Take You

How long did it take you to put your hair in a bun? My hair is still short. I'm 13 months post natural. I'm just wanting to do a bun so much...

I started bunning around shoulder length. It took 6 months to get to sl from neck length.

Wow your hair grows fast

Nah. I'm just short. 5'0

About two years from a 1in fro to APL and bunnable. My hair naturally grows in layers, so even at SL it was not long enough for the front of my hair to fit in a bun.

That's fast growth! That just from your neck to your shoulders.

It took me six months also from NL to SL; looking back that was quite easy. It was SL to APL that took a long time and was challenging.

Finally. Now.

From BC (1 inch all around around) now = to 2.5 years.

I did get a major trim/ cut last summer, so if I hadn't done that, I'd say it would've taken about 1.5-2 years.

From a low fade to a bun would take me 2-2.5 years. I have high density in my crown area, and my hair is very coily.

hmm, by 13 months I was able to do a bun, but unlike you I was using *growth aids* somewhat consistently. That was the second time I had cut off my hair, and by cut off, I went to the barbershop and had them shave everything clean off my head. I hated what I called the ugly phase the first time around, and wanted to get thru it this time as quick as possible. What worked for me were- Marine Collagen, with vitamin C, there's a thread on here on that. It's been a God send. Periodically, I use DE-Diatomacous Earth. I do that so that my body doesn't get use to it, and so that it can keep working. Topically, I use a sulfur blend. The one I use is from Conscious Essence and I got their newsletter the other day saying they just started selling on amazon. Before I started buying that oil, I made my own and before that I bought from Njoy.

Just be patient too, before you know it, you will be able do a bun

What is marine collagen?

It took 10-12 months from my hair in my avi pic ( roughly neck length) to an inch past SL to do a bun.
