It's been said before---but I think BUNS...

[model_chick717]

...especially "wet buns" cause breakage. It seems all of my bun wearing has caused some breakage in my layers and I had to trim my bottom layer (3 inches) to correct it. But my hair does hang better. So it's official--no more "wet buns" for me....

I am sorry to hear that It will be back before you know it
I usually let my hair air-dry in a ponytail overnight and bun it up in the am....

 

[model_chick717]

Thx for the support, girly....but my hair is so unruly--that if I'm going to wear it back, it has to be done soaking wet...haha So I will just have to stick with my pin-up styles....

Awww MC....3 WHOLE inches??

I can testify to that though. I had to cut some too. Too much styling while wet is just asking for trouble. I'm not touching mine either until it's at least 80% dry!

Wets buns don't agree with my hair either. My hair was drying into a crimped pattern and breaking off. I now do dry buns "wet" down with oil. No water, though.

 

[foxybronx]

Maybe that is what broke my nape off! :scratchch: I was wet bunning it alot...

Sorry about the three inches MC

Sorry about the three inches MC

Me too girl... that's a lot of hair to lose all at once...

I don't like manipulating my hair too much while it's wet either. I usually let it dry at least 75% before I start messing with it...

Sorry to hear about your 3 inches. You should rebound nicely I can't do wet buns either. I let my hair airdry then bun it up in the morning with moisturizing products.

 

[ms_kenesha]

Sorry to hear about that. My hair didn't like wet buns or pontails either and I would always get breakage from them.

 

[luv04]

never have done wet buns never will..

 

[DangerouslyShy]

Sorry to hear about your setback...it will be back before you know it....
What about just letting it dry in a ponytail....

 

[Tai]

How did you discover the breakage, MC?

 

[Britt]

I don't think I would do a wet bun. I get my airdried hair pretty smooth and silky but putting it up on 4 mesh rollers with papers on the ends. I use to airdry in a low ponytail with my hair on one mesh roller and it took way tooo long. For those of you who airdry you should give this a try

I completely agree, but I think that it depends on each person's hair.

I lost 4 inches over the summer from trying to wear a wash-n-go. My hair was just dried, and nasty. I get the same results with constant buns or anything that requires manipulation.

My hair is so much better when it's just free.

Don't cry, you know it will grow back

 

[KAddy]

Sorry you had to lose 3 inches MC. I am sure your hair is still fabulous and I know it will be back before you know it.

 

[model_chick717]

Thx ya'll...

@ Tai--I took my hair down from my bun yesterday and did a wash-n-go and one side of my hair was a little shorter--I had thought I'd noticed this happening...but last night made it official...

@Britt---that sounds like a good idea...I may give it a try...

 

[Armyqt]

Sorry about your hair MC. TRUST me, I know how it feels to lose those inches.

 

[Tai]

I'm sorry to hear about the wet bun breakage, MC. You'll have those 3 inches back in no time. Now I'm starting to get worried about wet bunning it myself.

 

[nyc_beauty]

I'm new to the forum....I was just wondering does wet buns include the baggie method? By the way: I am very sorry for your loss Model_Chick..

 

[Queenie]

Sorry to hear that. That's why I don't wear any buns or ponytails anymore. My hair hates have any hair acessories in it.

 

[Poohbear]

Wet buns have caused me breakage too! I only do buns on dry hair now.
