Another milestone - I can do a cinnabun!!

[DecafJane]

I'm so excited! I tried this again, using my Quattro micro set, and it actually worked and stayed!

I then tried it using a Monkthemonk bun stick and this held, too!

It is very much a baby cinnabun, but the fact that I can now do it and have it hold is a HUGE milestone! It is surprisingly comfortable and the hair holds nice and loosely around my scalp - now I know why they are so popular!

I can't wait to have a gorgeous cinnabun like you ladies who can wrap your hair around several times, but for now I am very excited (hence the photos and post)! *does a little dance*

Congratulations!! It makes your hair look really long. :D

[AprilElf]

Congratulations! Really cute pictures. :)
And I like your choice of hairtoys.

[BlndeInDisguise]

That's so exciting! It looks, great, too! :) You'll be wrapping it around several times before you know it.

Wow, that is a huge plus - thanks!

Thanks - I love my toys, too. I look forward to having hair as long and gorgeous as yours, but until then, I like to have fun. :D

Thanks! I have been relying on french twists for months now with my hairsticks, so it is lovely to be able to add something new. :D

[intothemist1999]

Oooo, I like your bun! :cheer: Congrats on your milestone!

I wish I could get mine to look like that. Even though I'm now 31" mine ends up like a little knob and even with blunt ends, seems to taper away -- I only get to coil around 2 times at most...little wee coils. :shrug: And they don't hold well. I've only ever worn them around the house, usually as part of an experiment!

It is a shame that you can't do one at the moment. Hopefully later on you will have more luck!

Congrats on your cinnabun, Jane! It looks great. :banana:


I still can't make a cinnabun out of my hair; it's just too thin.


How do you use hair sticks with a French Twist?
Where do you place the sticks?

[DecafJane]

Thanks, StephanieB! This is where I put sticks in in a French twist. I am not sure if it is a real French twist, but it is close enough for me. :)

Congratulations! :cheer: That's fantastic!

Your hair looks very healthy and shiny, and I adore your hair toys.

[DecafJane]

Thanks, Vitalai! I have an obsession with collecting my hairtoys. I call it my "collection" because that it what it is, even though nobody else outside LHC understands. :D

[Rae~]

w00t w00t! Yay for getting to cinnabun stage. :D :happydance:

[DecafJane]

Thanks, Rae. I think I should go and purchase some more Quattro sticks to celebrate. ;)

[Rae~]

Oh, most definitely. :nods seriously:

:eyebrows:

[DecafJane]

Hahaha, you enabler! I need NO encouragement to buy Quattro. :P
I'm thinking of asking him to make me something in bright, bright blue to celebrate finishing my end of year exams. :)

[Dolly]

Nice bun Jane! Congrats!

My hair is BSL, but like Intothemist, mine just looks like a little knot. Its a skinny skinny cinnabun. But, I figure what the heck and wear it anyway!

[DecafJane]

Thanks, Dolly. Hey, if you are having fun with it, go for the skinny cinnabun! I'm sure it looks great, anyway! :)

[jessie58]

That looks great and it's not as small as you think. When your hair grows some more, it's going to be huge. :)

Thanks, Dolly. Hey, if you are having fun with it, go for the skinny cinnabun! I'm sure it looks great, anyway! :)

Oh, I am......I am one who "normally" wears my hair loose, but decided that when I am working, it would probably annoy me less if it were out of my way. So, I bought some ketylos (I'm addicted, for sure), and I have been wearing it in a cinna-KNOT (or cinna-BUMP) pretty often lately. Also, I make sure it is damp when I put it up, so that when I take it down, I have some pretty nice bun waves going on.....

[Indigosails]

Your cinnabun is gorgeous. It does make your hair look longer and I do love your hair toys. I need some hair sticks.

[jojo]

that is not a baby bun, more a toddler bun but a chunky one at that!

Well done it looks great!

[DecafJane]

That looks great and it's not as small as you think. When your hair grows some more, it's going to be huge. :) Yes, this is a bit of a concern - perhaps I'll have to have two large ones on either side of my head, just like Princess Leia . . . :D

Hair sticks are so much fun! Perhaps you can shout yourself a pair or two for christmas. ;)

Thanks, any style that makes my hair looks longer is a good one. :D

Hahaha! Toddler bun - I like that. :D

[Amara]

Nice! I loved being able to put my hair up in a bun for the first time and pretend it was super long and nobody knew it. Heehee.

[WritingPrincess]

Congratulations on your cinnabun! I like your calling it a "baby cinnabun". Very pretty.

[tomm]

Congratulations! Your did a wonderful job, I can't believe that it's your first attempt.

[teacher_mom2]

I can't wait for bun length hair! Seems like forever............

[sahiba]

Congrats .I'm so happy for you.:)

[DecafJane]

Thanks, everybody! It really didn't take as long to get to as I thought, however I can't wait until it gets a couple of inches longer so that the hold is just a BIT better. :)
