Today's bun. Last night I honey-washed my hair, airdried and slept in two braids.

I've been bunning all week. Wet bun on Monday, damp bun on Tuesday, ugly bun on Wednesday. This is the first one I've liked all week. I took five sections loosely twisted each one and hold it down with a bobby pin. I like to call it a flower bun, but I'm sure there's already a bun called a flower bun.

I said when I went back to work this year I was going to wear my hair flat ironed or do twist outs on a more regular basis.

It's been in a bun ALL WEEK. I washed it this evening and deep conditioned with Humectress and honey in preparation for a twist out. As I sit here with 95% air dried hair though...bun.
 
I'm wearing my flower bun again but this time I misted my hair first so it's not as fluffy.

I was lazy today and only put 3 "petals" on my "flower bun". Sorry the picture is bad, the lighting in the bathroom at work is not the greatest.

Ok I'm going to need a tutorial in this flower bun. It is gorgeous!

The flower bun is super easy. I just:

Put my hair in a ponytail

Separate my ponytail into sections (usually 5)

Loosely twist a section (a 1 strand twist)

Pin the end of section to the base of the pony with a bobby pin

Repeat for the remaining sections

LOVE IT!! :love: I cant wait until my buns look like this.

Thanks at LexiDior! I remember when my hair could barely hide one of those bun fillers now I don't even need one :)

I've worn my hair in a bun everyday this week and am thinking I may do the same next week too. My DH has already started calling me bun queen LOL

Time to change that avy then :). Have you experience breakage yet??
 
I don't know if this is clear but here is a style I got off of youtube..I changed the brown scrunchie to a pretty clip that I used to hold the bun in place.

I tried the double rope braid bun again. I think this would look so good with MBL-WL hair. I can't wait until I get there.

Added a braid to the front of my bun today.

And here's what the actual bun looks like from the back. The weird lighting turned my hair red for some reason.

Hi LexiDior No breakage at the moment but it's only been 1 week. I have been making sure to oil the ponytail holder before use and also I have been making sure to keep it loose. I take down the bun as soon as I get home too. I'm gonna have to check out some more tutorials from the ladies here because I know some don't use the ponytail holders and their buns still look awesome.
 
Saw this in a magazine today. Think I'll play around with this look.
