The Pha bun

[Kherome]

I have no idea how to find you Phalaenopsis, but I know you are here on the LHC. I just recently found your youtube video for the Pha bun and I had to say thank you! This is a great bun that holds so well! Genius! Super happy to have more than one bun that holds all day. :agree:

For now I'm doing it with a stick. I had sworn off of two prong forks because of difficulty in getting them to hold my hair up, but now I may have to buy another and see if this works as well with one as it does with my TTs.

My hair is way too short for that. :( Damn you, thickness!

[PinkyCat]

Like!

I also love this bun - it's one of my favorite go-to's.

Phal rocks!

Looks lovely but I also have no forks! I've just tried it with a stick and seem to have some trouble getting the tension right, it feels like it's pulling on my roots way too much

[Kherome]

I am using a TT to hold mine and I feel no pulling at all, it's great, like it's not even there!

[neko_kawaii]

It took me a bit of practice to get the tension right, but great bun! I too, do it with a single stick.

One of my favorite buns! I wear it several times a week. I have a two-prong acrylic for from Chevalure (etsy) that works perfectly to hold it. I can't get it to work with a single stick, I have to use my two-prong fork.

It's my second favourite bun too, but I usually also have problems with it getting a bit too tight. I do it with a two prong fork. This definitely is something I do if I want to make a nice looking bun that holds like a rock, but it's not one for the headache days. :)

[Justy]

That is a lovely looking bun! I have just 'favourited' it so that I can give it a try now that my hair is longer. :)

I use a 3 prong 6 inch fork. Holds very well. Thank you Phal for a great vid (one I found a few months ago) and to all of you who take the time to makes great videos and teach us what we need to know.

[shutterpillar]

Is that what that bun is called? I do that all the time! LOL. Mine works fine with a single stick.

[Rainbow2911]

Not come across this one before, but I've been wearing it all day with a 2 prong fork and I love it! Makes a nice change to my usual nautilus and stays nicely. I had to put it in a few times to get the tension right, but that's true of any new bun.

[rowie]

ughhh I might have to wait until I reach hip length to do this cause of my thick hairs. Congrats to all who can do this though. I'm jealous.

[squee]

I need more hair forks, love them!

and the bun, I should try it for work one of these days

Hi Kherome, just saw this thread. Thank you, this is very sweet of you :flower:
I have kind of ignored my youtube channel, because I've been more ill and also had a fulltime job (which I had to quit now because of the illness).
I'm really surprised and honoured that people still check out my youtube videos! You made my day :)

[Bagginslover]

I am wearing this bun today, and so far, its held all day :) I love it, its one of my staples. Thank you Phalaenopsis!

[rock007junkie]

Thanks for posting the tutorial video. This has now become my favorite bun. It's so pretty and it stays all day.

Yep I love it too :)

[LocustSpawning]

I would love to do all these kinds of buns but I can't. The back of my skull is completely flat, so buns generally look awful because they exaggerate this unless they are very loose/messy and voluminous.. which you can't do easily with hair sticks/forks. ;__;

Someone bust out with some pix!

[kelly20364]

love it! will have to try this one!

[Aliped]

Wow brilliant! I just found this! I'm using a single stick (a knitting needle) and wearing mine horizontally as a low nape bun. I like low buns, but they often wobble. In this case the tension works as a very solid, tidy nape bun.

Cheers! :) :)

[emeraldfaery]

Makes me want to master sticks and forks! I'm such a klutz when it comes to them. And look at the thickness of her ends! :thud: So pretty!

Thanks, that's what this thread needed!

Kind of an old picture, but here is another Pha in a TT, full sized Chloe, (I tried a petite and my bun ate it)!
