Show me your buns...

^Love your braided bun, wish I could make a decent looking one, but I don't have enough hair yet.

[melusine963]

What a lovely braided bun and seashell bun, Miss Unruh!

[Lippytoes]

Miss Unruh, your braided bun is especially gorgeous!

I don't have a functioning camera at the moment, so here are two slightly wonky webcam pics of my hairdo today:

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g31/darthsnoo/hair/twinropebuns2_zpsde0ebdb6.jpg

I did two English accent braids on either side of my parting. I put the rest of my hair into two rose buns, and then wound the accent braids around the buns. Am really pleased with this hairdo - I think I'll do it again tomorrow! :) I don't do twin buns often; should do them more!

[Achlys]

I tried a braided bun with a long piece of cloth. I made the middle section of the braid thicker than the other two, tied the cloth around the middle section and added the two halves of the cloth to the two thinner sections. Then I braided it and twisted the braid into a bun. The cloth was longer than my hair so I could wrap it around the base of my bun.

Later I saw a photo of a girl with a huge sock bun with a scarf wrapped around it and tried to imitate it.

Last night for a Christmas party I put my hair in a Rose Bun held with lightsaber chopsticks. There was an accent braid on the left, but I didn't get any pictures of it.

That's a great pha bun, Wildcat Diva! And I looove your glittery hairstick!

I just did a french braided chinese bun with my new Pacific Merchantile hairstick which came in the mail today. I was amazed at how short the hairstick was, and thought, "I'm sure it is supposed to be 5 inches long!" I measured it and it is! It looked so short in my hair, but I guess it means my buns are getting bigger, yay!I also noticed that my hair is really varied in colour, with a real mix of lighter and darker, it shows pretty well in this photo, I hadn't realised it had such variations before....

[longNred]

Sparrowswing, my son would flip out at the sight of those! Lightsabers! So cool!

Here are a couple recent ones... The "I have no idea what it is bun" -- I'll admit, if I can get it looped up in a presentable manner, and it holds all day, it's a winner. I seem to be challenged when it comes to following bun instructions for the various types, the looping, finger placement, wrap this way, then that... Behind my head... Usually leaves me with nothing that resembles what I intended to do.

Thank you so much! It's not glittery so much as speckled, it's Corian.


i love your bun, too!

[spirals]

longNred, that is a perfect infinity!

I like your lightsabers, sparrowswing. :) And your rose bun, of course.

[TheHowlingWolf]

All of these buns are so pretty and perfect! I'm so lazy with my hair when it comes to styling! lol but it's so unruly and everywhere that it's harder to make pretty buns. Also, I have a lot of frizz/fly aways so they never look that great anyway :/ I wish I had some of the accessories you guys have! I just have one pair of sticks! I'm new to buns and styling my hair so I'm unfamiliar with all the types of buns and the names of them.

[schweedie]

Wearing an unusually high cinnabun today. Hello, nape frizz!

http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k626/growingmyhair/IMG_4558_zps5188d7d2.jpg

[melusine963]

schweedie, your bun is beautiful, as always. Then again, with hair like yours I would be shocked if it didn't look wonderful. Even your nape frizz isn't really frizzing. :)

[schweedie]

Thank you! :blossom: But trust me, the nape frizz is frizzing right now, heh. *g*

[neko_kawaii]

If you misted your nape friz with a little water would it form curls?

[Wildcat Diva]

If you misted your nape friz with a little water would it form curls?

I do this with rose water plus a touch of aloe vera gel, and the nape hairs do curl.

[schweedie]

I've actually never tried it - always figured my hair was too straight to curl. But maybe! Something to try next time I do a high bun. :)

[gossamer]

After piffyanne suggested it, I tried out a rope braided vortex bun on Christmas:
http://x0e.xanga.com/29ae3167d4d35284396067/s226912567.jpg

Then, thanks to loving the bun but hating how the rope braids caused my hair to tangle, today I've been wearing a braided vortex bun. Only two braids, however. I think I should try it with three next!
http://x48.xanga.com/61ef8264c1530284412751/m226927421.jpg

On the topic of nape curls, check out the crazy one on my left side. Silly thing!

[melusine963]

gossamer, your hair is stunning. Mine is so thin that my vortex buns always come out pathetically small. Yours are so big they could be eating your head. :)

[Sarahlabyrinth]

My attempt at a French Twist, never seem to be able to get the result I want but thought this one looked not bad.

Dunnanunna dunnanunna SOCK BUN!

That's a killer sock bun! I'm so impressed that yours comes out smoothly and evenly. Whenever I try mine become a total mess!

[meishkamooshka]

Oh Gossamer, thank you so much! I'm afraid to say however, I can take no credit for the neatness. I did the cheater sock bun, whereby one uses the "donut" as the base and then ponytails it, wrapping the excess around the base. When I try to wrap all of my hair, it turns into one giant mess indeed!

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Well I never knew that was the "cheater" sock bun - I always do mine that way, how else would you do it? That is a gorgeous sock bun, Meishkamooshka. How long is your hair now?

[meishkamooshka]

I only call it the cheater version because a lot of people think of the sock bun where you roll your hair up IN the sock (such as in this (http://youtu.be/S3CryIfIyK8) video). Thank you very much, dear! :flower: I'm still hovering between waist and hip somewhere...*sigh*

[dollyfish]

Did my first ballerina bun! And by that I mean, not counting the trial-runs I've done and then immediately taken out (e.g., my sig). It's just an english braid made into a bun. I left it in all day!
http://i.imgur.com/mQNs3.png

Downside was that my hair was a lion's mane after taking it out, and my scalp hurt for hours and hours afterwards because of the pressure angle...
http://i.imgur.com/5qPRk.png

[Lostsoule77]

Meishkamooshka what a beautiful bun! I don't think it's cheating either. It's a great way to get the look without damaging your hair. ;)

This was my bun for New Years Eve. A french braid into a coronet bun. Should've taken the french braid down a bit further, but it was the first time I've done this bun using a french braid.

I'm very envious of people who can pull off braided buns like yours, bunzfan. Mine always look ridiculous. I have quite a taper, so the inside of my bun is made with a comparatively chunky braid that has barely any 'texture' from the braiding, and the outside is made from a ridiculously skinny braid.

That looks lovely.

[Kyaatje]

tried the vortex because of Bunzfan ... but I failed miserably ! I made 2 big mistakes I think : 1 my braids were to fuzzy and not well braided where they started and 2 it was the first time I used u-pins and I think I didn't insert them like it should I think.
So trying again and again !
My hair might be a bit to short to I think (start brushing hip with the longest tips)

I will keep trying ! My hair is being non cooperative ! First it was velcro-y and now it is so slippery it doesn't even want to be braided. (I can't name it naughty mess, somebody stole that title all ready but I think it is being naughty non the less !)

This is how I wish my braided cinnabuns looked. Sadly, I have too much taper so the middle part always looks like a clunky, undefined lump surrounded by a ridiculously skinny outer coil. One day when I've trimmed off my taper I'll try again.

Thank you Lost & Neko. :flowers:

Thank you :D the only thing that concerns me is using a hair tie i dont want to cause damage and without it its not as secure. i dont tie my ends as im paranoid about causing breakage and making my taper worse, i just seal the ends with coconut oil, its pretty secure once you got your stick, fork or whatever your holding the bun together with. I sleep with 2 braids and just seal the ends again with coconut oil and my braid is still in by morning , though i dont move around a lot!

[bunzfan]

Here is today's wrapped like a nautilus but its not one.

Super cute! That bow is awesome. When I had shorter hair I had a big teal bow I loved and then when the naughty mess became self aware he flung it and it was lost and gone forever.

Ah yes, when they're attached to a clip my hair throw them away too :no: This one is sewn on a hair tie so i think it will hold !

That's the best way I have found. The Naughty Mess does like to break hair ties too though.

The Naughty Mess says "My best record was 5 seconds you didn't even get a pony tail and the worst was a three month battle against stretched out blue hair tie. Stupid stretched out blue hair tie, that guy was a jerk."

My cinnabun post trim. The first wrap is still way bigger than the rest, but getting better. Ignore the fuzziness. This is at the end of the day and after wearing a hat to and from work (it was 9 degrees F when I went and 19 when I came home.)

Gorgeous stick and bun! Is that another one of your inventions?

[Seeshami]

I was bored and decided to divide my hair in half and do infinity buns. I made one Half teeny tiny though so instead of an infinity bun over lapping the top of another it's a swirly thing.

[Lostsoule77]

Hmm, maybe you can make a video of this one too? It's so pretty & I would've never guessed that's how you made it. I'm having trouble picturing how you did it still. My brain is funny like that.

[Seeshami]

Of course. I just got news that my tab will take a little longer to fix so I will just have to make a to do list amd once it's back we will get videos done.

Hey guys!
Love all of the gorgeous buns in this thread.
Here's one I did today:

[meishkamooshka]

Betty, that is superb! Is that made from the wonderful 5 strander or some other braid? Either way, absolutely beautiful!

[bettylibertine]

Thanks meishkamooshka! :flower:
I haven't tried bunning the 5 strand yet - but now you've put ideas in my head! :p :D
It's basically a giant rose bun, made of five rope braids. Two from the front, one at the crown and two either side on the bottom.
I've found the braid placement to be rather versatile - it also makes a nice high bun, I discovered this evening.

[Seeshami]

Rope french to a very badly done Hawser Braid and my favorite paranda. The Hawser braid was something WaitingSoLong showed us in the braid thread and My Hawser braid definitely leaves something to be desired..... One golden internet to the winner of I spy the Quinshaiy!

This is in the style of the month thread. They are rose buns (rope braid buns).

I have been experimenting with buns lately and I think I have some photos I need to upload and resize to post. I have a bunch of bun photos but I am wondering if I have already posted them here? I sort of forgot about this thread.

I am looking for ways to "pretty up" my buns without ornaments. I am not an ornament or jewel type person (flowers, etc, I don't even like sticks with toppers). I did tie a scarf around my bun on day and it looked ok but a bit too fancy for me. So I m trying to focus on the "pretty" being the hair itself, adding accents and twists. Nothing really successful yet. My hair is so fine it snaps easily when the little hairs get separated as they always seem to do if I am braiding tiny braids.

[silverthread]

My first attempt at a rope-braid bun. Not that big because my hair is only shoulder-blade length.

Wish I could figure out how to upload big pics.

I finally figured out how to do a nautilus the other day, which means I know how to make a whopping 2 different buns. ;) I didn't expect it to work which is why it's messy and held with a pen. xD

I got a paranda in the winter swap and put it in my hair for the first time on Saturday. I need more practice, but I think it still looked ok. This was the braid bunned. :D

I do believe this is a successful figure-eight, or at least something that very much looks like it. I had a few inches to spare, so I must've grown into this style without noticing. Go figure. Please disregard the terrible flyaway bangs; with the death of my flat-iron, I have now gone entirely heat-free, and they do not cooperate or go into updos yet. Headbands and messy buns are my go-to style until they'll do something else.

[Lostsoule77]

That is a figure 8 bun and a very pretty one at that! :D

[Seeshami]

And I still can't get a figure 8 bun that looks half as nice as that one. Stupid Naughty Mess being stupid and difficult.

The other day I wore a very (very) simplified version of Janet Stephens' recreation of Faustina the Younger's hairdo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_HPj...LsVazw&index=5- mine was just 2 lace braids at the sides and a cinnamon bun made with 2 braids. I'd definitely use some bobby pins if I was wearing it somewhere special (I got away with one elastic and one stick), but for an updo challenged soul I'm pretty happy with it!

Yay I finally have a fancy enough picture to post here!

The other day I wore a very (very) simplified version of Janet Stephens' recreation of Faustina the Younger's hairdo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_HPj...LsVazw&index=5- mine was just 2 lace braids at the sides and a cinnamon bun made with 2 braids. I'd definitely use some bobby pins if I was wearing it somewhere special (I got away with one elastic and one stick), but for an updo challenged soul I'm pretty happy with it!

Ropebun with two braids, one (laceroped) first wraps around my hair
then tucked under the bun I made with the other.

[neko_kawaii]

Eresh, that is beautiful!

[WaitingSoLong]

Eresh you are killing me!!! How can you manage such perfection????

[eresh]

I mist my hair before making an updo :-)
Not always but for more elaborate updos.

This one I did for my aunt's (2nd mom) birthday.

eresh, that i stunning. So perfect!

Just a cinibun of a massive braid but it looks like a rose bun. So weird.

And surprising the braid:

How long is your hair Seeshami?

[AspenSong]

I have nothing to contribute because I can do all of two buns in my hair - everything else seems to fail or look bad since my hair is so fine and sad, but I did just want to say - All of you ladies have such wonderful hair and gorgeous buns! I do look upon this thread with a large amount of hair envy, but also with great admiration for all the loveliness. :)

[Seeshami]

How long is your hair Seeshami?

Honestly I don't really know any more. I think it might have snuck to butt crack length and I didn't know about it. So it's in a magical place around there and hip.

Edit:

I dunno what would that be?

[meishkamooshka]

Thank you Lost, Eresh, and Betty! :heart:

[WaitingSoLong]

Seeshami I would say that is TBL. I wondered, you did not seem to lose any length to that incredible braid! Are you a iii?

[Seeshami]

My braids all have pictures of my head tilted back slightly, I was looking at it and saying Hummm that's not right I loose length. I will show post a picture next time I do two braids of one half braided and the other down.

I border of ii/iii it's right at the end of one and the start of the other.

Yes I can add it to the list but this one is long and it involves a lot of swearing at The Naughty Mess, I will practice it some so maybe there is less unwillingness to participate on The Naughty Mess's side of things. We didn't start showing off buns because I didn't really think they where anything interesting until I showed off my favorite and figure out they are interesting. I am also going to utilize youtube from here on out with the hair stuff when the tablet finally gets fixed. Mister Fixer man's shipping is slower then he expected. I kind of want to strangle him.

Edit:

Tell me if I've missed stuff but I am making a list for instructions I need to make:

Ear to ear double lace rope crazyness bun

The crazy bun that has a spiral over the top that makes it look like the Michelin man.

The rope french braid with paranda to failed hawser with crazy paranda tail.

The bad word bun that is four lace dutch braids to a four strand. (we will probably do that one first since it will be the hardest)

The 2 dutch lace braids to the inescapable knot knot knot hair stick

Seeshami you are hilarious! The bubble bun is even cuter than the bubble braid!

This was my bun yesterday from my first ever dutch lace braids (I've done dutch, though not for years). It was inspired by Seeshami's bun the other day. Just didn't have the time or arm power to do 4!

If youtube/muffin's router would hurry the *bleep* *bleep* up you would all have instructions. I got the whole video uploaded (it took 3 hours) and then it says "Oh no it's to long. Sign this text that, do the hokie pokie. Okay NOW you can upload it as it is."


So the camera experiment for tutorials is fail. my tab uploads while recording so waiting will just have to happen. Trust me I am getting impatient too.

No problem. The hair sticks are from Emergent Glasswork I believe. And they use awesome glass. I didn't mention that after hitting a garage door and the floor that the flung hair stick was fine.

Here's a bun I managed this morning after wear two sleep braids last night. I just wanted it up and didn't want to mess with taking apart the braids (too time consuming), so I stuck a stick through both braids at the back of my head then alternately wrapped the braids around the stick, criss-crossing in the middle twice and securing both ends at the top with one spin pin. It's very secure if a bit messy because the braids had fuzzed out overnight.

I finally took the time to figure out a way to wear my moon. (Its sycamore, 3 in prong to prong, I made it.)
http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2307&d=1360340503
It is a Hypnotica inspired twisty thing. I made a ponytail with one hand, slipped the moon below the pony, held the moon with one hand and the base of the pony and the length together with the other hand and gently pulled up and twisted the moon until just a couple inches of ends were sticking out at the base of the pony and then twisting in the same direction coiled up the twisted part until the moon met my head, then slipped the moon back just enough so that I could work one end into what was the base of the pony.

I did it the first time without thinking much about it and then thought, hey, that's pretty cool, and took it out to see if I could do it again and promptly couldn't. Took about six tries before it worked again.

[dulce]

Neko,I love your moon and hairdo!!,we have the same length of hair and I just bought a 4 and 5 incher moon and looking at your pic am now afraid they'll be too big for me.Hopefully I can grow into them.And you did a great job making it yourself.

I wasn't sure how big to make it and decided at least if it was too small I could use it for half ups. I could probably use a 4 inch just fine. Not much of the moon shows at three inches.

I have a hawser bun to take pictures of. It's an indistructabun

[WaitingSoLong]

I didn't think the hawser looked very good in a bun on my hair.

I am really wanting to try some braid-accent buns but I am not sure what to do. I think crown braids looks great from the back and horrid from the front (I don't have the face for it). I like twin dutch braids but just putting them into 1 or 2 buns doesn't look that great to me.

Any ideas? I saw a chic on an old TV show that had an accent braid starting from the nape of her neck and then up into a high bun on top of her head. But I don't do "top of head" buns and it got me thinking about starting braids lower. I was thinking maybe 2 low accent braids but...then what?

[Seeshami]

it's not a flattering bun because the twisty-ness of bun ness messes with the pattern.

I always do side accent braids down the side of my face, as you all have seen through my pictures. You can start them anywhere and do cameo buns, rose buns. knotknots


The Naughty Mess says, "Knotknots are not okay."

Because you can't escape them shush.

The Naughty Mess says, "NO ONE who is sane ties knots in their hair."
