I'm not that experienced with buns yet and although I read about them with great interest, I don't know if I've seen this around before.
I came upon it my accident while trying to get the ponytail of my pulled-back/half-up off the back of my head.
So, tonight I thought I'd improvise and do a large version: I gathered all my hair together at the back as though making a ponytail, then doubled the length in half (not TOO hard to do with 29" hair). At this point,the ends and the base are more-or-less in the same place and gripped with one hand. With the other, I started the twisting and maneuvering into a cinnamon. Because of the reduced length it didn't take much.
I popped a fork in and it's held like a rock all night!
The reason I'm liking it, is it's so secure,isn't pulling, and somehow seems to have more bulk to it.
If it's not a previously invented bun, I thought I'd call it a "doubled-over cinnamon bun". "Doubled over" may be a bit ignominious, though! :)
