Good resources for learning new buns?

[Runzel]

Hey everyone! It's been....a lot of years. Long story, but hi again. :)

I know how to do exactly one bun, and I don't even remember what it's called. I'm looking to expand that to learning new buns. I thought the "Articles" section used to have a bunch of instructables on various different buns, but I'm not seeing them anymore.

How do people learn new buns nowadays?

Sorry for the dumb question, I just can't seem to find it for the life of me.

I learned all of mine from YouTube, I often just search for names of buns that I see people mention on here. :)

Yes there's the LWB (lazy wrap bun), the cinnamon bun, the nautilus, those are three well-known ones.

I looked through the hairstyles of the month section, and tried them all out.

Torrin Paige on YouTube is a great resource ;)

If possible watch YouTube tutorial videos from people who have similar hair type.

I second this. Not all buns work for all lengths or thicknesses of hair. I have found about 3 women who have my hair type. On LHC Wispe and I are very similar.
Also remember buns for sticks must be tighter than buns for forks.

For visual learners, definitely YouTube. :agree:

I like updo videos by JJJLongHair, Haartraum, torrinpage, ladollyvita333, schmetterlinchen, Emi longhairedatheart, Willow Lien, Gossamer P. etc...

Honestly, it can take a lot of different videos and seeing different variations on different buns to find something that works particularly well. It's very common to grow in and out of certain buns, too.
