Yes ma'am it twas' indeed the bomb:yep:. I tried to recreate it today, but ended up in a slick back because for some reason I forgot that my behind can't braid lol.

Awwwwww Thank you SO much for your sweet words! That unevenness will get better. My hair grew into a W shape a while back and I corrected it. It took a while, but eventually I got it all to one hemline.

my hair is air dried 99% of the time, so I guess I should just use less product and sleep in braids for more texture. Thanks for the tips ladies.

mamaline - Yep, you're on the right track!

I also clarify weekly with Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo. You don't have to clarify that much to be effective, but don't go over a month without clarifying at least once. :yep:

I usually clarify once a month. I'm awfully heavy-handed with my products though. I just never know how much is enough. (I'm not even being funny lol)

I need another wet-like moisturizer since Im allergic to scurl for my buns. :(

You could definitely dilute any moisturizer but I replaced scurl with Darcy's Botanicals daily leave in. Not as GREAT but its works. You could also try some good ole glycerin and water.

I tried the front braid like MizzBFly and actually did it this time :yay:! I wore a high bun yesterday, so I opted for a side twisted bun today :).

Rozlewis Thanks Girl :)! and Yeah I wear a different bun daily. I find that when I switch it up I don't bore of it as quickly. Plus when I wear it in a different position I don't put excess stress my nape.
 
Finally air dried. I like the bun better, but I did a video on how I did the bun and putting in a ponytail was ALOT of work on its own.

Yeah, it takes some practice. I don't have any problems like I used to in the beginning.

Starting with freshly moisturized air dried hair, I mostly use my fingers to scoop all my hair up for the high bun. Then I put on a scrunchy and lightly comb all around do get the hair going in one direction. I remove the scrunchy and use my hands to slick hair up and redo the pony a bit tighter.

Secure bun with pins and bun net. Then use fine toothed comb to smooth any loose fly aways.

Also, I sleep in a loose high bun secured with one pin and tied down with a silk scarf. When you wake in the morning, your bun is pretty much half done. :yep:

Thanks. I like you new thumbnail.

With my hair air dried, I'm not used to it, so it just takes more time for me. I fell in love with it again today, but dealing with it is just the wackness. I saw a girl check her weave bun after looking at my bun lol.

I try to put it in a bun for the overnight, but that only works when my hair is straight. Air dried, my hair is gonna laugh at me...

Lets see how I survive this week. Might repeat it again. It's just too hot right now for rollersets. I just hate having to face the fact I'll be washing again by Wednesday.

Today I am soooo tired of bunning!!!!!!! Today I want cut, color and swinging hair......tomorrow might be different:look:
 
janeemat I know how you feel.

I wear my hair out a couple times a week to alleviate the boredom. I'm also doing different types of buns. It's easy for me to get locked into doing my daily bun all the time.

I relaxed my hair June 1st and wore it down that Sunday to church. I felt guilty for doing that and my hair has been in a bun EVERY single day since then. I really want to continue at least to my next relaxer which is Sept 1st before I throw the towel.....I don't know....

Wear it down while you're out and about. When you get home, add a bit of moisturizer to the ends and bun til bedtime. You'll still get the bunning benefits.

I am going to try Wen for the very FIRST time tonight as my cowash. I am right at 8 wks post, so depends on how that goes will determine if I wear it down tomorrow. I just hope WEN will smooth and detangle my 8 wks ng like current product I use. Sunnieb do you think now is a good time to try Wen?
 
janeemat it's always a good time for Wen! Glad you're giving it a try.

I cowash with it once a week. As far as caring for ng, I started doing weekly honey treatments and my ng is soft and in check. I'm 12 weeks post.
