So I tried bunning my hair this past week and it shrunk up so much that it was impossible. The only think I did different was deeply detangle it and do a protein treatment so It was os odd. I was banding it to stretch it out but even that didn't work. MY meager bun was way punier then normal. It felt like is had tons of ng from stretching or something. So now I cowashed it again and trying my hand at a braidout bun. I had a nightmare that my hair broke off that's why. Now I'm just trying to tell myself that's silly talk.

Oh for those who bun where do you get your hairforks at and what's a good price for one? I'm really joansing for one.
 
I am loving this challenge :grin:

I went on maternity leave December 3rd and will be returning back to work March 1st so this challenge has definitely worked for me. Plus I had been bunning non-stop since August, so for the first time ever I went 5 months without a relaxer :blush:... I am so proud of myself :yep:

I have two that I purchased from Hennaforhair.com. Etsy.com is a great site to find hair accessories. I have my eye on a few forks from them that I plan on ordering tomorrow :grin:.

TLC1020- your little one is adorable!
 
Haven't checked in in awhile. My little one had a stomach virus and had me really concerned.

I'm back now though. I've been bunning 5 days a week. My ends are doing really good. And I think my hair might have even grown a little! WooHoo!!
 
Sad day. I was bunning my hair loose this week and the nape is knotting up seriously so now I'm going to have detangle (yuck) and either twist or braid it up...
 
Still bunning too. I even do it on my "off" days lol. Wash day is so much easier now; detangling is a breeze (10 mins for my entire head). My hair is retaining much more moisture and I don't have tangles and knots like before.

I think I will bun and put on a wig on my off days.
 
Just checking in ladies. I'm still wet bunning and baggying with JBCO:lick:I'm getting more length than thickness though:ohwell: I have made great progress so I'm not complaining. My avatar shows recent blow out at the Dominicans for a length check
 
Here's my bun today. Sitting at home snowbound, watching superbowl!
It's a little frizzy but I like my new fork (thanks Dlewis for the idea)

I've been sneaking and doing braidouts/twistouts on the weekends. :look: I haven't actually worn my hair "out" (they all looked a mess :perplexed) and I ended up pulling it into a bun anyway. As a result though, my hair is super dry! (This is usually the point where I go get a major cut and start all over.) Instead, I did an overnight DC last night and I'm now back on track. :yep: Hopefully this 2nd half of the challenge will go better for me.
 
I am still bunning and enjoying it more everyday. Who knew that doing this would turn me into a bun person. I thought that I would be gritting my teeth and baring it through this challenge but I don't feel right anymore if my hair is not in a bun.

I wore my hair half up/half down on Sunday because I was preaching and I needed my hair to look "special." It was the first time in two months that my hair was not in a bun. It felt so strange having it down. As soon as I got home I moisturized my ends and put it up :grin:. I will definitely be keeping the bunning thing up after this challenge is over.
 
sorry i've been mia yall, but my comp crapped out on me and i waited til my dude could fix it... so yeah, he fixed it lol.

i did flat iron my hair this morning. i took a pic right quick before my flight but havent uploaded it yet since i just got here. it was a long day yall. but i have learn that fl is nothing nice on my flat ironed hair. my fuzzy halo is reppin right now lol. oh well
 
ok. here's a pic. looks like i'm still at mbl. so no progress to speak of. maybe my ends are thicker. that could be it

and thanks about my ends. i've been working extra hard to keep them nice
 
^^^Wow!! You have some major shrinkage! I do too:nono: so don't feel bad. I'm not even SL stretched but I'm CBL & BSB stretched (on the front and sides and in the back).
