~~~Relaxed Bunning Thread~~~

Do you ladies find bunning to be addictive? I've been bunning now for the past 2-3 years and I can't seem to stop. I find that I'm getting a little paranoid to wear my hair out. I guess I'm taking this protective styling thing a little to seriously.

I wash, condition and rollerset on a weekly basis and as soon as I take my rollers out...up in a bun my hair goes.

I would like to know if this has or is happening with anyone else?

I don't find it addictive, just a quick reliable style. I haven't been roller setting since DS was born but for the last 3.5 years I've been rollersetting and bunning. I don't get paranoid of wearing my hair out becuse I just don't want to. My hair has been thriving without wearing it out in general so I don't worry.
 
questionable, I find protective styling addictive. I like to vary my styles, but yeah, my hair rarely gets hang time. If it does, it's very short lived. I'm not paranoid, it just gets in the way and annoys me.
 
Bunning is quick and reliable..it has now become my go-to hairstyle. It's almost as if I forgot how to style my hair. I don't like to feel my hair against my skin, especially when it's hot. I have to agree with divachyk about hair getting in the way and being annoying. I feel the same way.

I think the people around me are getting a little tired of my bunning as well..I'm starting to hear the same question from everyone about why I won't wear my hair out...sighs deeply..what's a girl to do.....

I'm the same way. My hair may be out for a day...and it starts getting all in the way. It annoys me so I pin it up lol
 
Wet bun fail today. Dc'd late last night and didn't bother to airdry. I just put in 2 twists added my scarf on top and went to sleep.

It's Monday and it's raining here. I don't even care that part of my scrunchie is showing. I don't have any face to face client meetings today, so I'm good.

GettingKinky sunnieb, thank you ladies.

Sunnieb, yes girl I love my silk scrunchies. Thanks to LHCF, I purchased these several years ago when they were trending. I kinda have moved away from the cut up stockings. I still use them from time to time when I need a tighter, firmer hold.
 
Cowashed last night, so I was working with slightly damp hair, but I was able to conceal most of the scrunchie today.

I will have to learn to do a bun without a ponytail holder. I can tell early on it will damage my hair. I finally did a bun and split it into too and wrapped it around and I felt it was tugging at my back edges and it wasn't tight. I have long edges, but not long enough to add up with majority of my hair. Most people I see have short edges so don't have to struggle to put it in a ponytail, just lay it down with gel or pomade and brush it in and go
 
Hold the base of the pony with a few fingers from one hand and use the other hand to twirl the length around the base. Gently remove your fingers from around the base while holding the hair in position with the twirling hand. Pin hair down. Use a cut up satin scarf as a headband for nape hair control if you don't wanna use gel or styling prods. Lilmama1011.

I used to do my buns like this but it got harder when my hair got longer.
 
My first attempt at doing @divachyk's french twist. I like this look. My bun looks messy and loose, but it's surprisingly secure.

ETA: Pics not posting....will keep trying

Went back to the Southern Tease bun for today. I didn't even put a net over it. I just left it messy.
