even though I am at tailbone, my hair is still too thick (with too much taper at the end) to do the celtic knot, so frustrating!
I love Celtic knot buns, but I have found it the most challenging bun to date. There are some great tutorials, but they are made by women with substantially longer hair than mine (knee versus waist length).
I think I finally have figured it out, by slightly modifying my technique.
Anybody else find this a tricky bun to master?
Here's how mine looks ... It feels really solid and stable, but comfortable
And here's a better picture, after more practice, its clickable...

Almost there!
I still haven't mastered this one. I'm iii, but have layers, but my hair is too thick for this, although I'm between tailbone and classic.
At true tailbone!
I am at hip length and have trouble with this one too. When they are well done they are so cool!
Looks really cool!
I am at 29 inches too and still I cannot figure out this bun, thought I want it so bad... You made me want to try it again, maybe something changed, maybe I get the missing half of an inch?
That looks awesome! Congrats on mastering it. The Celtic Knot is one I haven't tried yet, I need to get on the ball with the hair-style articles!

Oh, good! I thought I was the only one who failed with this bun. I plan on trying again when I'm just past waist. Well done Aliped, love your stick!

Still waiting on this one - I get one loop then another loop and uh- uh - no more hair! For fun and practice I have been doing it as a half up - so maybe another 6 months or so for me... we'll see!

I tried this bun again today (have attempted it a few times, but without success) and today I actually managed to make it! To actually use the Celtic knot bun for the day's updo requires a bit more length, I think, but I am getting there! I have wanted to try it out since I first saw a tutorial for it.
