What is your favorite bun?

[Cirafly24]

What is your all time favorite bun? Why is it your favorite? Finally, show me a picture!



My favorite is the rose bun. I love it because it's pretty and easy, (although it looks complicated), and stays all day.


Here are some pictures:

My most sturdy bun go to bun at the moment is the nautilus. But it isn't my favorite. I much prefer the look of flipped buns but I have to redo them many times to get them situated so that they are comfortable enough to wear for any length of time.

[Debra83]

My favourite buns are usually buns on other people!!!! :)

Actually, the one bun I really like on me is the revised sock bun....someone had a link before Christmas to a you-tube video on the how-to of it. Basically you start at the end of the hair and roll it in/up. I find it stays close to the head way better (more secure) and stays looking good longer as well.

That's a great nautilus bun! I would say the nautilus is my most-used bun, but not my favorite. It's just the easiest and fastest when I'm in a rush. I also like to use a Flexi-8 in mine- that's a really lovely lavender one you've got there. Here's a photo of mine:

Basic instructions for a rose bun: Put your hair into a ponytail, and make a rope braid. Then, just wrap it around like a cinnamon bun and pin. Voila!

[Ishje]

your's is great as well :D
I am sure the rose bun will be my favorite once I know how to manage it XD
thank you for the instructions!

[Lianna]

The chinese bun. I can't do it yet.

[janeytilllie]

My favourite bun is a simple braided cinnamon bun :)

My new favourite is the Orchid bun because its easy to do and holds all day.

I love these braided buns! Can someone please post a link on how to do these?

[Muse]

The rose bun is really pretty. I am going to try it.

My favorite bun is the pencil bun because it is an easy one.

[turquoisebud]

My favorite at present is this - http://www.longhaircommunity.com/forums/album.php?albumid=7081&pictureid=93810
(http://www.longhaircommunity.com/forums/album.php?albumid=7081&pictureid=93810) Sorry I used a link, but I don't have any online photo program. Anyway, that bun is my favorite at present. I find the twist part keeps the layers tucked away nicely! :)

[curlsgalore]

My favorite bun is the lazy wrap bun, easy and elegant. I don't currently have any pictures :(. I also love the nautilus bun. I like many others on other people but cannot get them to look consistently good on me.

[krissykins]

Favorite bun that I can do or favorite bun that I want to do? Haha

I usually wear my hair in a cinnamon bun, but my favorite bun to wear is the lazy wrap ^_^

Everyone's buns are GORGEOUS! :thud:

[bunzfan]

I love these braided buns! Can someone please post a link on how to do these?

I found this the easiest one to do http://www.longhaircommunity.com/archive/showthread.php?t=71774 it requires only one hair stick and no pins depending on the length of your hair :)

[Medievalmaniac]

I am really fond of the Artemis bun, but my go-to is still a braided cinnamon bun. I think the rose buns are beautiful, and would love to be able to do one, but I think I need a lot more practice! lol

[Galaxy Girl]

Sock bun is my most favorite!

[SwordWomanRiona]

I think my favourite buns are those that involve hairsticks: Chinese bun, braided Chinese bun, rose bun, Celtic bun, and so on. Some photos:
Two three-strand braids coiled and fixed with hairsticks, kind of a mix between a braided Chinese bun and a Celtic bun:

[lyria]

Oooo, the rose bun is my favorite too! (Sorry I don't have a pic, I suck and photographing the back of my head!)

[enfys]

The Celtic bun is my favourite probably, but I can't do a good one yet. Too much thickness. I like the EvaSimone bun too.

My daily bun of choice is usually a nautilus because it holds best.

[Madora]

Double braided bun:

I love the celtic knot bun but I can't do it. I tried a million times but I think my hair is too short or too thick to do it. :confused:

[bjt]

for me, its the nautilus bun... its the only bun that consistently stays. I can even ride my motorcycle for hours with it, and it holds like a rock. but I more often wear braids than buns, I just like having my hair down! :-)

[Deborah]

My favorite is a flipped bun, held up by either a metal hairfork or a handful of those tiny claw clips. This holds very well, is pretty, and (most importantly) I can actually DO it.

I don't know anything about photos and the computer, so, as always, no pics from me. :o

[PiroskaCicu]

I love braided buns, especially rope braided ones. But my hair is too short for most buns to look good on my hair! I can still do them though...which is a plus :D Soon they'll look good... i hope :)

[Fairlight63]

Madora, your double braided bun is beautiful!

I like the braided bun, figure 8 (I guess because I can't do it)

[Cirafly24]

I can't do a figure 8 or an infinity bun, either! I love the way they look on others, but they always turns out poorly for me :(

[firefly42]

lazy wrap bun! it stays better in my APL length hair than any twisted, braided, etc bun.

[Cirafly24]

I've never really been able to do a Lazy Wrap Bun...not sure why. Do you know if there's a tutorial?

[Cirafly24]

Bump :)

I want to see more of your favorites...I want to learn how to do more buns!

[Luminescence]

I really like the Maki Bun (see YouTube). It's as easy as, and holds as well as, a Nautilus, but ends up prettier. (when I pull the loop over my hand in the Nautilus, lots of hairs get loose, and it looks frizzy and ugly)

[FrizzBall]

The buns that those from India wear a lot when they have super long hair. They use their whole arm to make it and no pins or anything. I can't do many buns on my hair or at least any to brag about.

I do love looking at them though.

[Shermie Girl]

Cinnabun. And when my hair is long enough, braided bun. I like simple buns. :D

[HintOfMint]

Now I'm inspired to try a rose bun. I'm terrible at rope braids but my hair is still damp from my shower, so I might experiment.

[Rennire]

The Nautilus for me. It's the one bun that will work for me first try every try and it's fast. I think other buns look prettier but most days I don't feel like taking a chance on them not working.

[Cirafly24]

Do it! Rope braids are so much easier with damp hair. :)

The only reason I don't wear a rosebun every day is because I don't like to start with a ponytail that often. I'm concerned about breakage from the elastic.

[Vani1902]

Right now, my hair only allows me to do a standard cinnabun. In a couple of months, I should be able to experiment with other types of buns. I can almost get a figure 8 bun, but I need my hair to be a tad bit longer. I am more than happy to wait.

[Cirafly24]

The Nautilus for me. It's the one bun that will work for me first try every try and it's fast. I think other buns look prettier but most days I don't feel like taking a chance on them not working.

I know the feeling! The nautilus is my go-to bun, as well. I often try other buns first, but if it doesn't work on the first try, I go straight to the nautilus.

[squintinschool]

Vortex! It holds well (especially if I braid it), and is much flatter than anything else (which with iii hair is important). Here's a 3 braid one, topped with finishing pins:

If I had more length, I think rose buns would win out, but right now they don't quite work well (two failed (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6883&pictureid=92157) examples (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6883&pictureid=91564))

That's a lovely bun! I haven't tried a vortex bun yet, but it's on my list :)

[mimi1153]

:thudpile: Madora - - WOW, I love it. I just need more length and thickness, someday..... :)

[squintinschool]

Thanks, Cirafly24! You should definitely try it, its quite easy, and looks really complex especially on people with longer hair than what I have as you can see the vortex better. Just beware that you need an army of U pins.

[Henrietta]

Well, LWB, braided or not. I love rope braids but so far mines are too small to wear them, they just look ridiculous, so... I'll wait.http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5646&pictureid=95187

[Yamainu]

Mine used to be a nautilus, but lately I've been gravitating to a spidermom ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoBA2OhZrcU) only I twisty the ponytail before wrapping it around my fingers - I was having problems separating the loops, and found that this made the bun much tighter and neater as well!

I would LOVE to be able to pull off a decent rose or figure 8 though... my hair is just too short for the first and too layered for the second.

[bunzfan]

My to go buns are a nautilus,lwb or a braided bun..

[jacqueline101]

Mine is English braid bun. Why is it my favorite? It holds better then most buns. Pictures of my bun are in my photobucket album. I have a link to it on one of my blogs if you want to see it look it up.

[Savvyhorsez]

Lazy wrap bun for work, or if I need to put my hair up really quick. Otherwise I like to braid my hair in a three strand and put it up in a flexi-8.

[Jenny31557]

My favourite bun is a flipped cinnamon bun with two hair sticks (knitting needles lol). I don't wear it very often though.

[Cherry*Tree]

Personally, I like the Cinnabon.

[Cherry*Tree]

*cinnabun, sorry.

[lapushka]

LWB, nautilus, cinnabun, and the one I wear the most isn't really a bun, it's a peacock twist (which on my waist length hair looks more like a bun anyway).

[catamonica]

A braided low bun. It's really comfortable.

[Cherry*Tree]

Whenever I try to do a braided cinnabun, it is probably the smallest (and saddest) puny little thing in the history of buns, so I don't thepnm that often.

[Cherry*Tree]

Them, sorry.

[Cherry*Tree]

I keep reading my posts and thinking they were done by someone else. Odd.

I love the lazy wrap and the disk bun. They are my go tos right now since I don't have enough yet to do any braided or nautilus buns.

[curlsgalore]

My favorites are ones that I can make look full in my hair like the Artemis, pencil bun and my lazy figure 8 bun. :)

[Seeshami]

This one is my favorite:

A lazy cinnabun happens every day though. A lazy cinnabun is when you don't twist and you only wrap your hair around into a donut. They don't stay well and by the end of the night The Naughty Mess is a Hot Naughty Mess.

[melusine963]

My favourite bun, comfort-wise, is the lazy wrap bun. It's the quickest to make, one of the least damaging (no twisting or pulling involved), and is very flat so I can lay my head back comfortably.

My favourite bun, look-wise, is the celtic knot bun (for now). It looks intricate, but unfortunately it sticks out too far to lean back against comfortably and it sometimes pulls at my scalp a little.
