What buns are you doing? I know there's an old natural hair bun thread around so you can try that out. I've been trying my hand at non ponytail buns and I find making a puff and bobbypinning it to a donut bun works as well as bunning with a bananna clip and pinning the ends under. I also do claw clips and pin the ends inside so that's something to try. Browsing around youtube may help as well. I'm always on a hunt for new buns to try out so I can't wait until my hair gets longer and I can try even more.

Thanks Kusare...the puff idea sounds perfect because I love buns but hate the tension from the ponytails.


Just popping in to say My bunning has been going well especially since this week I have been mostly in a Nyquil induced coma from this sinus/cold thing I have going on lol. I did flat iron my hair on Monday & it will stay straight until I have enough energy to go buy some more conditioner, leave-in & henna. My goal is to trim my hair now that it's straight, henna, DC then start curly bunning through spring...so lets see how that goes. OH and take some pics to put in here. I'm a newbie to this posting thing so I may need help

 

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Oh gosh, I did lots of bunning in 2008/2009 and got some decent results. I may as well revisit it

 

[curlycrocheter]

Alrighty....I've got my starting pic. It was taken 12/12 I think. I don't think it will grow much more noticeably in the next 13 days So this will count as my starting pic.


For the winter I'll be wearing my hair flat ironed 95% of the time, because it takes forever for my hair to dry & I spent the majority of last year being sick from trying to wet bun How is everyone else doing?

[topnotch1010]

I'm getting tired of rollersetting and want to join this challenge.

I will wet bun 7 days per week and only wear my hair out on the major holidays.

I love the fullness I get when I air dry
in a ponytail then pin it into a bun.

Starting length: APL
Goal length: MBL

I tried an attempt at wet bunning. I failed miserably. And I lost more hair then I wanted to. My crown and hairline does not look too good pulled back and I used gel. Because it is thin. Anyway, I am just going to airdry loose on cool air under the dryer or airdry rollerset overnight. Moisturize and pull it into a bun or ponytail in the morning.

 

[curlycrocheter]

There you go girl... Do what's best for your hair. I had to stop daily cowashing and wet bunning because it chewed my ends up. Now I cowash my hair once every few days and bun on stretched hair.

 

[Lady Esquire]

This is the one challenge on LHCF that I know I'll stick with because bunning is the only style for me lately. Ever since I chopped off my hair earlier this year, I've committed to bunning until I get to APL again. I'm uncertain where I am now due to new growth shrinkage and stretching my relaxer. To be safe, I'm a full collar bone.

LET'S BUN!​

Well here's my starting point. This is after I cut my bushy ends so hopefully after I wash my hair It will still be long enough to bun. I guess I'm around CBL/brushing APL now.

Good Luck Ladies! I can't wait to see how we grow.

 

[curlycrocheter]

As far as ideas for buns, I'm not very creative with styles. That's why I accessorize all my buns. I have pics in my blog...that I will be updating soon

 

[SuchaLady]

I really would like to join as I am sure this would help me make MBL but I have to grow two spots back in from breakage. Maybe I'll come back around June/July. HHG Ladies

 

[MsSonya]

I have just been moisturizing and bunning. Decided to lay off the cowashing for awhile.
A year into this and I just dont get my hair. I am a slow learner and slow grower, I guess.
But I am having fun with the buns. Got some cute ponytail flower holders. and a little rest from all that co-washing...

 

[curlycrocheter]

I'm glad I made the start date in January....ever since Christmas Eve things have been so crazy for me. I've actually been wearing wash-n-go's in 20 degree weather. I'll be glad when I can get back on track though. How is everyone else doing?

Checking in with pics. I was doing SO good but when I was traveling last week I did all sorts of scandalous things to my hair that I won't even mention here Basically now I need another trim even though I just had one early December..no bueno! I'm excited to get back to bunning and getting my hair back in tip-top shape.

This is my first time attaching pics so let me know if I'm doing this correctly

1st pic-my donut bun done on wet hair. I will most likely stay away from wet bunning because my crown still manages to tangle up.

2nd pic-my recent WNG that I probably shouldn't have been wearing LOL Got a bunch of those darn SSKs just from this style that lasted only 3 days

3rd pic-my length as of late December. Just at APL at the longest point but I'm claiming it dang it
