The high bun now a popular look

wavezncurlz, thank you . Yes, I just threw it up there secured with a pontytail holder and pinned my bun . Took all of 5 minutes. Its really easy and I am going to do it again and wear it on freshly washed hair .
 
Decided to do a high bun today. My hair was feeling pretty gross so that's my only option (wash day). LOL

Here's my attempt at a curly bun.
Disclaimer: I saw it on BHM and replicated the whole thing. It's a self-installed "ponytail" weave. At least that's what I call it. I have a thin black head on the front and a thin stretch headband holding the bun. I have always loved this style w/ straight hair. Now I see curly hair is the shake!

it comes out best for me I just throw it up there & dont try to make it perfect. dont over think it. just pick how high u want it & throw it up there lol

just make a high ponytail them tuck your ends into the same ponytail holder or with a few bobby pins and thats it

I'm wearing a high bun right now. I'm going clubbing tonight and I hate having my hair down when I go clubbing coz it makes me extra hot when I'm dancing. I love high buns. I do them when my wash and go starts looking crap and I can't be bothered to wash and redo it so I just put it up into a high bun and put some gel on the edges. Or if I just want a change.

Bunning is my main protective style for a couple years now I usually move it around so that I don't damage my hair I placed it high a couple days ago

I decided to try it since I'm just lounging around the house today..

SO just looked and didn't comment but I think it'd be nice for really hot weather. I'd just leave a few tendrils of hair out like I've done here but maybe loosely spiral curl them.

I think I'd also slick the front back more if I was going out as I have such a low hairline.
 
Here's the high bun I wore my hair in today.
My hair was stretched with a braid out on the weekend.

Are you relaxed or natural? How did you get your edges so smooth and slick? Looks great!!!

Curls passion fruit paste....I love that stuff. I'm relaxed, but I was probably 12 plus weeks post in those pictures......

Maybe my head is too big or my hair is too unruly but I just can not get it all up into a bun

Everybody calls me "Gina"...(you know, from Martin?), so if my head isn't too big, nobody's is!!
