~~~Relaxed Bunning Thread~~~

[sunnieb]

How long does it take you ladies to do your buns? I timed myself this morning and my 4 twist bun took 6 minutes.

2 minutes tops for my daily bun (like my avatar).

Sorry bout all that leg lol booty shorts while I'm gettin ready lol

Not really a bun but....



Flat twist style

 

[sunnieb]

Do you all redo your buns every day? I don't take mine down at night and I sleep on a satin pillowcase but there is no way I could go to work without redoing it. And I can't deal with DH's complaining if I sleep with a scarf on my head.

I redo my buns everyday. Gotta do my daily bun drop!

Is anyone really getting good retention from bunning?

Is anyone really getting good retention from bunning?

I think I'm getting the best retention ever with it. I mean even over the years when I've had braids, the hair that grew around break off because of the stress of the braids.

I co- wash, oil, moisturize, bun and and as long as my hair thing doesn't catch, I'm breakage free.

So for me, yes. Definitely.

I retain all my growth by bagging my ends. Today, I put my hair in a regular bun and I'm going to continue to do dry buns until I reach MB/WL! I'm so use to my ends being wet, this will take some getting use too but I oiled my ends real good before bunned. On second thought, I might just baggy the ends on the last 3/4 inches to be on the safe side

pre_medicalrulz, in the beginning - yes! Now, I can't really tell if I am or not. I feel a bit stalled at my current length.

Being its what's i do >75% of the time, I have to say yeah. Then again, I just started using scrunchies and those are not my friend

Yesterday's bun

 

[apemay1969]

My hair is still damp on the ends when I take my bun down - or off depending. Is that good? I'm worried about mushiness. I chelate and protein once a month. Is that enough?

apemay1969, I think you're fine on all the questions asked especially if you're not seeing any increase in breakage.

I've seen less breakage I'm just relaxa-noid.

Today's bun

 

[GettingKinky]

I need to take my buns down at night before I go to sleep. I've been noticing that on the very edges my hair is fairly short. I think it's breaking off at the nylon I use to hold my ponytail.

I just have to stop being so lazy.

apemay1969 I agree with divachyk.

Matter of fact I'm airdrying now, but my hair is still pretty wet. I'll sleep in two wet braids and bun tomorrow when it's still damp. My hair does fine with this technique.

pre_medicalrulz. Yes!

Bunning has gotten me to BSL and it's getting me to MBL faster than wearing my hair out daily like I did a while ago.

 

[divachyk]

pre_medicalrulz I didn't think I was retaining but I went through old photos and seen where I made huge progress in a year!

The easiest while learning is to use your index finger as a guide. Place it at the center point of bun and twirl / twist / swirl around it.

Today's bun...

 

[GettingKinky]

I love your bun today divachyk. It looks so well moisturized and I like the little bit of texture.

 

[divachyk]

Thanks GettingKinky, I've been braiding the hair nightly since I'm stretching my relaxer. My hair feels really great this week. I'm so pleased. Thanks for the love.

 

[sunnieb]

divachyk - Squuuueeeeeee! Love that bun!

Nix08 and anybody else who uses banana clips for bunning, would you mind posting a pic of your banana clip? I have one that doesn't work too well. I must be doing something wrong.
