Thanks fellow challengers for your replies. Glad to hear that ya'll are still hangin'. Surprisingly, my hair is still in box braids but I'm scheduled to take them down on Day 10. 
Although I've enjoyed the ease of being able to easily moisturize/spritz twice a day and know that I'm accessing all/most of my ends, I'm ready to wear a whole-head wet bun!
Thanks so much! If you're talking about the one in my siggy, it's a single elastic that has roses all the way around. I bought it about 10 years ago and I wish I could remember where.

I picked up some Lock & Twist Gel yesterday. I was going to use it to twist/twist out this weekend, but then I figured HEY maybe I could use it to smooth my hair down. Has anybody used this before? The ingredients look really good.

I'm still in box braids and sill wet bunning. Lately I have been using Aussie moist for my cowashes and using CFCG and S curl with JBCO for moisture. So far so good.

After wet bunning for almost 2 weeks straight, I decided to wear a wash and go yesterday. It was just TOOOO hot, so I had to pull my hair up into a ponytail. I used the pineapple method of pulling my hair up to sleep and got second day hair!!!!! Oh and it looks like I finally got my Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue to work! I am in love. My mom said my hair looks so much bigger. Let's hope that means length retention!!! 
Here's a pic of my second day hair!

maybe you can just put a plastic cap over it and call it "bagging for the night".....good way to keep the moisture in, too.
today i'm doing my double bun to get my shorter lengths in their own baggy bun and the longer lengths in theirs.
strangely enough, my hair seems to dry out faster these days, so i'm gonna make sure it's super wet before i bag.....might try to add some s-curl...will surely use some joico k-pak...getting bit to stretchy up in there....

you mean you slept in the hard magnetic rollers? my compliments, i just cannot bring myself to do that!
btw, if your hair was damp in the morning, that's not a bad thing, IMHO, because even when we rollerset, it's done on not only damp, but wet hair.
i went through a period where if i didn't have my hair wet before getting the styling done (before i started doing baggy buns exclusively), it just didn't have bounce, shine or pizazz, so i found that if it get "freshened" by the wetness, actually gave it a nicer set.
tell us how it went when you let it air dry the next day.....i bet it looked really nice!

yes, slept in that hard magnetic roller. it wasn't all that bad but wasn't super comfy either. it was tolerable. i was aiming for silky ends but failed! the next day the length of my hair dried nice and soft (as usual) and my ends dried fuzzy wuzzy (as usual)you mean you slept in the hard magnetic rollers? my compliments, i just cannot bring myself to do that!

. fast forward -- it seems when i wet bun, my ends are dry and fuzzy. however, my ends dry silky straight when i apply setting lotion, pull hair into pony, put one magnetic roller on the length of the pony and get under the hooded dryer BUT i don't want to rely on that method as this totally defeats the point of wet bunning, etc. i will not let wet bunning beat me down and get the best of me!

Okay, can't wait to see pics! My take-down was the worst part of having box braids but I will definitely do them again.

Hey Wet Bunners,
Let's post some pics because some of us need some wet bun ideas anyway. I've seen posts of some of you in phony ponies, box braids, some may have high buns, low buns, let's see some various buns ladies! I'll go first, here's the last pic that I took a few days ago...

Still wet bunning. Currently I'm using -- WN, Elasta QP Mango Butter or HE LTR split end protector and seal with oil.
Can anyone tell me what prods you use that continously keep relaxed hair moisturized throughout the day? I know moisture evaporates but I think mine is evaporating a little too much b/c my hair is dry by the end of the day...dry but soft, if that makes any sense.

Man, this was the easiest challenge thread EVER to read through.
I dropped by because I put myself on a personal wet bun challenge....I started last week and will continue through the first of September. Heck, I may just finish out with you guys.
Where are all the pics?! You people are posting, but leaving out the photos! (By the way, I really like the ones Qurlyqt and Rockstar are posting!) You phony bun/pony ladies especially need to get on this....I'm totally about to buy a pack of hair and make my own bun. Hope I can find a color match...ooh, also, can anyone using the Good Hair Day pins post pics? I want to switch to them from these ouchless ponytail holders, but I can't figure out how NOT to make my bun look scrawny when I use them.
Anyway, right now this is what I do:
*cowash with HE HH (I will switch to TJ Nourish Spa when the HE is gone)
*wrap hair in a wifebeater to soak up excess water for about 10 minutes
*apply Kimmaytube's leave-in to hair, focusing on ends
*wrap hair through ouchless ponytail holder, then wrap it again incompletely to form bun
*go about my day
At night, sometimes I take it down and sometimes I don't. I always cover it with a satin scarf or bonnet at night. I had the same problem with frizzy ends till I started using this leave-in....if you're not too keen on it, try incorporating aloe vera juice or gel into your regimen to close your cuticles, or do something else, such as a cold water rinse or ACV rinse, to close them. Between the leave-in and the wet buns, my hair is staying super moisturized.
For the phony bun, all I'm going to do is buy a cheap pack of kanekalon, cut it in half (I don't want a super huge telltale fake bun), braid one half into a large braid, and twist the other half into a large twist. I'll alternate them, one day wearing a braided bun and the others wearing a twist bun, and secure it with bobby pins. I got the idea from a thread a member made a while back (sorry, thought I subscribed to it) and tried it on my mom....she loves it, not to mention it's way cheaper than buying a premade bun. These will help my ends stay REALLY moisturized, since I can baggy under them!

YESS! Somebody please post pics with those pins. I was looking at them the other day, but didn't know if they would hold my hair in place well.
What does the wifebeater do?

I've been co-washing and wet bunning everyday. It been great with this hot weather. My avatar is a picture of my wet bun under a phony pony. I'm mixing aloe vera juice, coconut oil and Wen SAM as a leave in and I wrap weave hair around my pony and twist it into a bun. Very simple.

I figure it's to help dry the hair as the water will soak up in it and won't be so abrasive as if you just used a regular towel. I use a cotton tee myself.

Here's a pic of the actual pins (although i have the clear ones). Also, here's a pic of one of my buns this week where one of the pins was showing.
This sounds CUTE!
Be sure to post a pic. Attachments
