I did an infinity bun all by myself!

[jojo]

Well after yesterdays meet with Prettypolly and Saranne. I was determined to do a number 8 bun, but found it easier to do an infinity bun, especially once I knew it would go in one (Saranne did me one) and this is my first attempt.

I know this isnt much to some but I have wanted to do this and a number 8 since seeing my first one on here. I did manange a number 8 but forgot to flip the end bit so it looked like a bent sausage!

Without further a do, heres my masterpiece. Thanks for teaching me Saranne!

Yay congrats on your new buns, Jojo!
I think the infinity bun is one of the prettiest buns, so that's one I'm also looking forward to (when my hair is long enough). :D

Congratulations!

[goldenwaves]

Congrats! What a great milestone. It will get much easier when your hair gets a bit longer. I'm a few inches longer than you and can do most styles. Not long to wait now!!

[DecafJane]

Hooray! Well done! I'm so excited for you! :D :D :D

[Shanarana]

Great job, I couldn't do that if I tried. Love the new siggy. :)

[Periwinkle]

Woo, congratulations! You've given me the motivation to have another go at the infinity...I can't do it for love nor money.

[shrimp]

And very nice it is too - Congratulations!

:magic:

[jojo]

thanks guys, looks like it will be the one and only.

I forgot how I did it now!

[sahiba]

thanks guys, looks like it will be the one and only.

I forgot how I did it now!

Dont say that again. :patrol: It was a style well done. I was hoping to see more of it in your album.;)

[catekat]

Yay! Very pretty.

[spidermom]

Hooray for you! But ow!ow!ow! that looks tight. My scalp hurts just from looking at it.

[dor3girl]

Yay! The bun looks great!

[lawyermom]

Beautiful pictures - I can't wait until mine is long enough to put up! Very inspiring, thanks! :)
AND your hair looks wonderful in your new sig pic!

[Oberon88]

Good job!!!! I have that same hairstick!

[Prettypolly]

Yay, definitely looks like one to me :grin: You should practise doing them in your daughters hair or a doll or something!

[Gumball]

Looks great, Jojo! Your efforts really paid off. It's going to get refined really quickly especially if that is (awesomely) your first one!

[jojo]

Hooray for you! But ow!ow!ow! that looks tight. My scalp hurts just from looking at it.

it was just a bit, im like a dog with a bone when I set my mind to something. I need a couple more inches really but hey not a wrinkle in sight after I did that!;)

[jojo]

Yay, definitely looks like one to me :grin: You should practise doing them in your daughters hair or a doll or something!
thats a good idea, I actually have a barbie doll:o im sooo sad!

[levelek]

Congrats jo! :) I find that I can only do the infinity bun when I stop thinking about which coil to grab and flip, and just let my hands to it. ;)

[Saranne772]

Wooo!! Yay :D Im glad I was able to help :) I find the infinity easier too- well it stays in better for me :)

[bunnii]

YAY!! it looks pretty ... and hard lol someone come teach meeee :p

[jojo]

Wooo!! Yay :D Im glad I was able to help :) I find the infinity easier too- well it stays in better for me :)
The lady herself, you was a great help thanks again x

[spidermom]

No wrinkles?! Maybe I should rethink how tight I twist my buns.

[Lamb]

Hooray! Those turned out beautifully! :)

[Diamondbell]

Well done! The Infinity bun looks perfect! :D

[blue_nant]

I find that I can only do the infinity bun when I stop thinking about which coil to grab and flip, and just let my hands to it. ;)

I honestly never flip anything. Once I got the idea that I'm making an infinity sign back there, I just coil it til it wants to go into that shape, holding it with my left hand (mainly my middle finger and thumb; i'm right-handed).

Then wrap the rest of the hair around the base, still all coiled, til I run out.

[Arctic_Mama]

It's lovely, congratulations!

[Tressie]

Whoopee!!:D Great looking work Jojo!!

I have a problem with this one. Sometimes it looks like a "mutant" infinity bun, as someone on here said in one of her albums. The first time I tried this it stayed in all day and that evening when I took it down, I had really cool waves in my hair from all that twisting LOL! :D We will get there with practice, but with friends like you've got, you'll be way ahead!!! YOU ROCK!!:cool:

[Odile]

Wow, that looks great! :D

Mine never look that even all the way 'round. I'm jealous!

[Ndnlady]

Nice job!:) I probably have a million more tries before I can have a nice neat infinity bun!

[paper]

Thank you for posting this. I am such a hair dork and had no idea that my hair was long enough to even try these. I've got a lot of work to do, but I think I just did one too!!!
