A couple of years ago my friend's mom (who has TBL hair) taught me how to do this bun but I have no idea what it's called. It's become my go-to bun that I wear basically every other day and I feel kind of silly not even knowing the name!
The way I do it is, I twist my hair at the base of my neck and pull the twist up to make a loop vertically. I put my hand through the loop and use the other hand to keep twisting the remaining hair around the base of the loop. When I finish going around, I bend the loop down over the wrapped parts of hair and insert a stick. I do not pull the ends through the loop; they are tucked between the looped and unlooped parts. It is kind of like a bee butt bun, except the loop at the top is kept bigger by my hand so that it can be used to come down and surround and flatten the bun against my head.
Here is a picture, although the lighting is terrible:
