The (tentative) Bun and Braid Reference Thread!

[Sylvestrix]

UPDATE: The contents of this thread contributed to the LHC Hairstyle Thesaurus (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=145554) now stickied in the Mane Forum.


Alrighty! As referenced here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=112681), I'm attempting to cobble together a picture-referenced list of styles, buns and braids, almost like a database, if you will.
I'd like to point out that the frankly thudworthy list below is the work of neko_kawaii- I bow to her hero-level list skills.

What I'd really love to do is to be able to get a picture for every style, and a tutorial to go along with them. Obviously neko has done a massive amount of the work, so I'll be updating this post shortly with a running list of styles for which I need to dig up tutorials and/or pictures. Hopefully this will be something to which we can all contribute, and a great reference for anyone looking! :joy:

At the moment, I'm looking for pictures for practically every style, so if you have a picture you wouldn't mind being used on this guide, please let me know!

Hi Sylvestrix and Neko kawaii. Thanks for this awesome list. I've been needing something like this for ages and hadn't made the time to do it myself :)

Just an update - the link for the Nautilus Bun from TorrinPaige doesn't work, this is where it is:

I'm gonna look again, but I don't see pencil bun. It should be a basic bun.

[neko_kawaii]

I think when I was making the list from old LHC lists pencil bun got on my alphabetic list but I have a vague memory of trying to find tutorials for a couple of the buns, pencil and lazy wrap I think, and finding that no one seemed to agree on what they were and I threw my hands up in frustration and walked away for a while and then forgot I still needed to deal with it. I still don't know what a pencil bun or lazy wrap are!

2) Thanks!
3) :lol: I forgot about that tutorial. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm so glad to have this thread!! Thanks for starting it! Now my hair is in a seashell bun instead of my usual cinnabun. Going to choose one of these to try for several days in a row, so that I can finally develop a repertoire of styles.

My twist bun I got years ago from ladies home journal an interview with Jayne seamour.

My twist bun I got years ago from ladies home journal an interview with Jayne seamour.

How funny (just because I haven't thought of her in a while-- I remember her in the Scarlet Pimpernel)! I'd be interested to see that article. She always seemed to wear her hair in a lovely, soft and elegant style.

[walterSCAN]

Oh I'm so excited to find this thread!! I've been wishing for an updated version/ that the old thread didn't have so many dead links. I do agree with the others that said the link under 'Basic' isn't the lazy wrap-- it looks like a cinnabun using elastics. The second link for lazy wrap under 'Stick and Fork Buns' is the lazy wrap as I've always known it.

...I wish this thread hadn't been inactive for so long. :( Would anyone mind if I work on it/ update it a little? I don't want to step on any toes! (I don't have a lot to add, I'm mainly wanting to standardize formatting and fiddle with the organization a little.)

[walterSCAN]

**Posts #23-26 are updated on an ongoing basis-- if you find dead links in these posts or a style you think should be included, please let me know and I'll update the lists!** (<-- Added 2/18/14; pm me or reply to this thread with any edits, I'm subscribed so I'll see it. :))

All credit to neko_kawaii and Sylvestrix for the content-- I really only did a little fiddling/ reformatting.

Well you're welcome! I don't want to take all the credit though, I just did some updating/ formatting on neko_kawaii's original list.

Do you have really thick hair? A lot of people who have lots of hair have trouble making most buns until they get a lot more length-- until then, their buns just kinda explode because it's hard to anchor the ends. I've never tried a sock bun myself, they're really pretty though.

My hair is just getting long enough (BSL) to do some pretty styles up. It still has many layers so many of them won't work but I am very thankful for this thread because I am pretty clueless about buns. I have always done braids, but I wanted some way to tuck in my ends to prevent more damage so thanks thanks thanks!

Basic Buns: Seashell video is dead as is bee butt
Flips: full flip, the 1st orchid link, hypnoswirl, and helix bun are dead.

Thanks for compiling the list! I found some good ideas in here :)

What a fab thread...

Before I found LHC, when I was looking for updo ideas (as was getting annoyed with the 'pillow stuck to head' look of the basic bun I'd managed), I found this webpage: http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/

They have both written instructions and a youtube video for each up/half up/down do they post. I found it a great resource for ideas. Downside is most are done on someone elses hair, so I can't say how easy they are to do on yourself. Loved the 'minnie mouse' ears hairdo! Not that I've ever tried it! :)

[gthlvrmx]

I don't know if this one has been added already, but it's a new bun for me that I have never seen or heard of before, although it's similar to the Spidermom's bun.
The member Entangled posted this on another thread and mentioned it was a variation of the Spidermom bun in a video.

ETA: Here is what she said on the other thread:
If your hair is shorter, there's a cheater version of Spidermom's bun that I found to be secure. Bunch your hair in a like making a ponytail, then wrap it all around one or two fingers. Wrap the majority of the hair around the base of the ponytail, tucking your ends in when finished. Then, feel the hair wrapped around your fingers. Split it in half (I use a stick) and push the stick down in the middle of the loop. Wiggle it through the center of the bun, then pull the other half of the hair in your fingers down and stick the stick up through that loop. It's like having a flexi-eight made of your own hair.

[Entangled]

I e been looking go the video I saw, but since I watched it about two years ago, I can remember who it was for he life of me! I haven't found it on a google or YouTube search yet. The person in the video had dark hair, and after they showed the long hair version and then the shorter hair friendly variant, there were some still shots form other times they'd worn the bun. One of them had a blue topped stick. Is this familiar to anyone? I don't know if there were spoken words or not, though I tend to prefer voiceless videos.

[neko_kawaii]

note to self: if I ever get around to working on this again, "center held" is a popular category that deserves notation.

[SparrowWings]

I don't think this question really deserves its own thread, but I'm not sure where it should go instead. If this isn't a good spot, please move it to a better one!

Two buns, lazy wrap and nautilus. They definitely have different ways of making them. Lazy wrap makes two smaller loops around fingers then wraps the rest underneath/inside. Nautilus makes one big separate loop, wraps the rest, then puts the loop around it. But once all is said and done, what is the difference between the two finished buns? They look very similar at the ends of tutorials. In fact, there's as much or more difference between the end results of different people doing the same bun, as between the same person doing each of these buns, in many cases!

I've been doing the motions for the lazy wrap bun for the past few days, but what I have at the end feels to my hand (and looks, when I have a mirror available) as much like a nautilus bun as anything else. What am I doing wrong? Or are the two end results really that similar?

[neko_kawaii]

I vaguely remember a reasonably long discussion about this a while back. I don't have enough info to easily dig it up though.

[meteor]

Yes, I'm under the impression that LWB and Nautilus share the same topology.

However, the motions to get there are different enough and the size of the loop and the tightness of wrapping and presence or absence of twisting all add up, so they can look pretty different on the same person sometimes, and one usually needs more length to achieve a Nautilus (probably due to twisting and size of loop?) vs. LWB.

Also, my understanding is that the Gibraltar Bun is the same as LWB, but twisted as you go through the motions - so it's Twisted LWB (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsQlSwyEeQg), is that correct? :)

[Groovy Granny]

Thanks Meteor!

Interesting ...now that I can FINALLY do all of those buns mentioned :joy:

[SparrowWings]

Oh geez! If I had thought this was such a common question, rather than just me being dense, I would have Googled first! As least I was right about it not needing its own thread... It already has several of them, lol! Thanks for clarifying/confirming. :)

[meteor]

^ Oh, no problem at all, SparrowWings! :D It's not that easy to figure out actually - I've considered this and read about this on a few threads but I'm still not too sure if they are variations on a theme or separate buns? ;)

Wait, the lazy wrap bun makes two small loops? What have I been doing? An untwisted nautilus? And here I thought I knew what I was doing...

I have no idea where I came across what I call a Lazy Wrap, cause it ain't any of that. LOL

Here's hoping I have some time this summer to work on the list.

Good question! For exercising, I prefer to wear my hair in a tieless top bun, but I secure it with small jaw clips instead of hair toys. I actually visited this thread because I'm looking for top bun hairstyles with hair sticks or forks to make it more cuticle friendly.

[Jen419]

I have learned so many different styles thanks to this list! I had no idea there were so many ways to wrap a bun. I found my new favorite quickly in the slidermom bun. It stays in well. I can make it right or loose, high or low, and it looks good tidy and messy. But the real win is how my hair looks when it comes down. Thank you! (and I am trying some of the others, but so far this is one I keep gravitating to.) :happydance:

How do you make buns that don't look like Shrek ears? https://images.app.goo.gl/4v9BUpCsgaDAKCmE6

I'd like to make me space buns but I really look like a UFO man with them because they get larger outwards like Shrek ears...

[neko_kawaii]

The trick is to securely pin the first twist and to make sure that all following twists are next to it and not sliding under it.
