View Full Version : New bun? Maybe a variation?

Last night I was playing around with my hair attempting to do some buns (and mostly failing) when I made up a bun off the top of my head.

These were the steps:
I started by separating my hair into four sections - as if making a 4-strand plait.
I joined the 1 &3 and the 2&4.
These two sections I held like you start a disc bun.
I then started by pulling the left sections over my hand (again like a disc bun) but rather than pulling it around fully I stop once it's over my hand.
I then started on the right section and pulled it over.
Continued alternating until all my hair was up.
The ending is the most different as I had to use 2 sticks(and I think a fork would have worked better) rather than 1 (which is all I need for a regular disc bun).
There are 2 loops but they fall in a way that means that the bun has 3 parts.
The right loop I pushed the stick in vertically down before turning horizontally across the bun.
The second stick just went horizontally to hold the other loop.

Here are some pics from today and yesterday.

Yes, my sticks are pencils, I don't own any real ones :lol:
I put the second stick in differently today, don't know how that affects things.

What do you think? Is it new or am I just imagining things?

Oh, I'm also not 100% sure how necessary the 4 sections are, as mentioned I was just playing and today I repeated the steps exactly.

I don’t know squat about buns:D so i have no idea if this one has a name. Looks like some variation of disc bun though,it’s very pretty.
But girl, heck you have a load of hair there! I’m jealous;)
I’ve been trying to do a disc bun last week and it looked laughably small... sigh.

This is a really beautiful bun. I hope someone will will make a video tutorial on how to do this so I can try it.

Thanks everyone :o

Sarahlabyrinth, I might try and do a video but it'll be extremely fuzzy and low quality - also I have the combination of little hands and lots of hair which will make it hard to see what I'm doing :lol:

I don't know if I'd go as far as separate my hair into strands, which is why I had to wait a while to do a decent bun.

No idea if we have a bun yet that has separated strands in it that you need to join.

Gorgeous bun!

Yeah, I'm not sure if you need to do the whole "separate into 4 and then join back into 2" thing yet! As I say, I was just kind of messing about and I thought I'd get a disc bun (which is basically the only bun I can do) but it ended up being different and I don't know if the sections did something or if it was just the wrapping!

So here are a couple of pictures of the bun WITHOUT making the four sections.

It doesn't feel quite as stable but that could be because I didn't wrap it tight enough.
The loops feel different again though so I'm still not sure if the sections affect anything or if my bun making technique just needs to improve???

Either way, I will try and make a video of the two ways tomorrow so any thoughts will be welcome :)

Ah that is amazing! Thank you, because it's kind of hard to follow along for me with text only.

Okay...so the video attempt failed miserably :lol:

I will try again at a later date but my bun making and filming both clearly need more work. It was a disaster zone!

I will wait patiently :) It is hard to make a good hair tutorial. Sometimes it's all in the way you hold your tongue :p
