After years at LHC I finally figured out how to do a figure 8 bun!! I don't know why this updo' was so hard for me to figure out. This morning I was playing with my hair & thought I would try it again & <cue awe inspiring music> Planets & stars aligned, my hands did what they were supposed to, my hair twisted the right way and a figure 8 was created!!!
I just secured it with 2 good days hairpins. I also have photographic evidence that I actually did it!

Congratulations!
Good that I'm growing to 34 inch, since I'm also an iii and want to be able to do a figure 8 someday :)

Great job! I wear those all the time along with infinities. It's the most comfortable, stable, very quick updo I know! I think it looks pretty too.

That's a beautiful Monster 8 bun! I'm glad the planets decided to finally align for you. I thought I heard the music over here. It wasn't just in my head!

Congrats! That is a gorgeously big figure-8 bun! Wowzah! :shocked:
I tried doing this recently and failed miserably. I need to wait until my hair's a bit longer to try to for this one, I think. But so many people having success stories with this bun gives me some encouragement to keep trying. :)

That's a beautiful figure 8 bun. Thanks for posting, too. I saw your post here yesterday (having never come to the forums before) and decided to try a figure 8 myself. Now I have even more ways to pin up my hair. :)
