Don't give up! I almost went crazy too when I joined the HYH challenge for six months last year. DH was about to go crazy right along with me! 
But the results, the RESULTS are so worth it! I wear my hair out two days a week now, but my flexi 8's and good day hair pins are still my best friends!

bumping for more rants 
I hate it too and its only been two days. I usually can't go more than a week but I have learned a lot about hair and I am trying to bun until the end of the year and then see if I go to February.
Its boring. I want to whip my hair. I work in corporate/government and I don't feel like I have enough styling options without heat.
Alas, I am going to keep on pushing...this hear ole bun.

When you feel bunning is drab and boring, and need a reminder of how good it is for your hair, re-read Yvette's Story and let it inspire you to stick with it.
An alternative to bunning, as someone said, is wearing it differently. Adrienne's protective style with a phony puff is a good alternative: Your hair stays protected but appears to be loose in a pony.

I hate bunning. I have a big nose and I just feel like it really sticks out when I wear a bun. lol DH loves it though and I've gotten compliments but I think it's just cause people were sick of seeing my dry hair and damaged ends. I just bought some head bands so hopefully they will make me feel cuter. I need to get some new jewelry too.
I feel you on the big nose. I have a big nose.
Your features look soft in your profile pic.
My nose is holding me back from claiming delicate features...but I have GROWN to be okay with it.

I used to hate bunning, but now I love it! I tried wet bunning and that chewed my ends up. Now I either do a blowout or flatiron, or I cowash and then just let it dry over the days. I haven't had a problem with mildew hair doing it the last way, but I make sure to take it down everyday.
I started a blog (because Fotki has cooties
) about wearing my hair in buns. I bun everyday, but I always have something in my hair, whether it's a flower, hair sticks, flexi 8s, hairzings.....there is always SOMETHING in my hair. I get tons of compliments on my hair toys and I think that kind of reinforces positive feelings about my buns. Plus I'm about 1/2 and inch from MBL all thanks to bunning!

question for all those who bun... this is my PS style allthough it does nothing for my edges which pop of all the time, i have to bun with the mesh donut because i dont have enough hair for a decent bun. i have recently been wrapping a stocking around the mesh bun so my hair would not snag on the mesh... do you think the sock is drying out my ends? also i secure the bun with a scrunchie... is that bad?

Wow, I can't believe this was brought back. I wrote this over two years ago and I no longer do any type of bunning. I mainly wear my hair in twist outs and I am still getting good results.
Maybe I should reconsider bunning or maybe not 'cause my new growth is outta control!

indarican If I use a donut bun I use a reglar sock covered in a silk sock. If the scrunchi is too tight it can cause damage. I have unitentional layers from wearing my scrunchi too tight around my bun
Wonders where i could get a silk sock from... as simple as it sounds i rarely see real silk anything in NY.

Check the mens department of major department stores like macy's and nordstroms...they usually are mixed with the other dress socks.

I don't have any pics of my buns. I do the southerntease style, 1 I got from mandy4601, and a regular ole bun. I do them on stretched hair - usually rollersets@AfroKink, ^^got pics? I think I might've seen 'em or one, but my mind's a bit foggy. Care to help a poor memory?
Basically... I have a conservative day job and not a lot of time on my hands. I had a week off recently and I wore an afro every day.
