Hi Yall
For a fun summer style who likes Double buns hair style ??????

Patty lou

[elbow chic]

meeeeeeeee!!! I'm wearing double buns right now!

[silverstars]

I do :) I like to dutch braid down both sides of my head and bun the ends.

[sarah061]

I have never worn a two bun style! But I should try it, I love the show Charmed and Phoebe likes to wear these two buns kind of high on her head - it looks adorable!! I can't find a picture but I'll post it if I do...

ETA: Found a picture! Not the best but you can see what I mean. I think they look adorable on her but I'm not sure I could pull them off....

I love double buns, up high, one on each side.

I have never worn the kind where one is up high and one is down low, one underneath the other... I bet that's comfortable.

I also like the style that comes in the mini-spin-pin box that is three small buns at the nape of the neck. That is comfy and not weighty.

[ravenreed]

Yo! I have a few shortie hair sticks just for those. My favorites are my 5" Ketylos and my 5" Quattros. I also bought two sets of the spin pin minis for just such a style. My biggest problem is getting them even. I usually start with two ponytails and work from there.

[homeeduk8tor]

Just tried the double bun style out yesterday. I really like it! My daughter (who is 16) even complimented me on the look. I think I really liked it because it even distributes the weight of the hair.

[Narya]

I have never worn the kind where one is up high and one is down low, one underneath the other... I bet that's comfortable.

It certainly is! Not long ago I wore two cinnabuns (1 high, 1 low) for the "A day, a Haistyle" challenge for the first time, and was amazed at how comfy they were.

I have to say that I like all kind of double buns, each placement looks different and that gives a lot of versatility: it's not the same very low two bee-butt buns than two of them very high!

ETA: And double buns leave better bun-curls for me, too!

[Gabriel]

This is my go to style. Since my hair got to about tail bone length there are just some days when double buns are the only way I can get my hair up quickly and comfortably some mornings.

My go to is double ondango on either side of my head. I'll do double cinnamons, nautilus and figure 8's as well. Up high or low, it just depends on the day. I also stack them in a row sometimes instead of on the sides of my head.

There's a picture in my album somewhere.

[Aliped]

How do you hold them? I don't think this would work with the 7" hairsticks I usually use.....?

This thread needs photos! :)

[Pantha]

I tried double buns about a year ago and the response I got has not encouraged me to do them again. I got a couple of laughs and then was told I looked like some sort of Anime character :( Was probably true though.

[GeoJ]

I wore them yesterday! Princess Leia style but tighter. I started with ponytails and used pins to hold them. They were comfortable & stayed put all day- even withstood grappling in a martial arts class (although they were awfully fuzzy afterwards).

I've also worn the one bun above another bun style. It was comfortable for me.

[sarah061]

I tried double buns about a year ago and the response I got has not encouraged me to do them again. I got a couple of laughs and then was told I looked like some sort of Anime character :( Was probably true though.

That is so sad!! That's what I worry about. A few times I've tried them out at home but then taken them down because I think I look like I'm from the 1990s or something, haha. Too bad.

[Gabriel]

Oh I don't have that much hair that I'd use 7 inch hair sticks! 6 and 5 inches work well for me. Even 4 inches work. I have some 4.5 inch usable length sticks from Morgan Reed (http://www.morganreed.net/) I picked up at a Ren Faire that I use for double buns often.

I also use Spin Pins for double buns and wave length pins and even generic claw clips. I have some plastic mini hair forks I like for them too. My favorite toys for them are a pair of four inch Quattro (http://www.etsy.com/shop/quattro) Pins and my favorite-favorite are a pair of Scunci Mini Hair Do Sticks.

I like double buns, but I normally do not have the time and patience to achieve them. Summer would be a good time for me to wear them because I don't have as many demands on my time.

[sarah061]

Gabriel those are SO CUTE!!!

[Gabriel]

Thanks sarah061 :).

I wear them all the time and no one's ever said anything negative to me about them.

Personally, I hate parts so double buns don't ring my chimes. I thought Carrie Fisher's buns were lovely, though.

[Diamondbell]

I love wearing double buns. I wear them most of the time! :)

[Patty lou]

To-day on "Charmed" Phoebe had double buns, oldest DD helped me with the part and now I am wearing them, she also braided them and she says I look great
with them, they feel so cool up high as it's really hot outside.

[dfotw]

I've done these a couple of times, to use the pretty decorated Amish pins I have. My partings are a mess, but it's a fun style! I should do it more often, particularly if the weather improves...

Those are so amazing dfotw!! I'm so inspired now; I love how they look twisted like that :) <3

[Intransigentia]

I love double buns but I have trouble getting them symmetrical, and then if I give up and just accept the asymmetry, it bugs me all day until I take them down.

[Raponsje]

I love the look of double buns, but I doubt if I have enough hair. Two cinnabuns look really tiny. Perhaps two fully rolled sockbuns would be nice?

[Patty lou]

I have gotton sooooo many nice compliments on my double braided buns, I may make this my new summer fun style.


Patty lou

[milagro]

I do :) I like to dutch braid down both sides of my head and bun the ends.

Same here! I often do it before going to gym, very secure and comfortable.

[charalito]

I like having fun with double bun styles. Today I'm wearing 3 buns just because :)

[WittyWordsmith]

Since reading this thread, I've made double-buns twice now. :D Hubby says he likes it. I like that it's out of the way and so comfortable!

If I don't position them well, they remind me of Teddy-bear ears or Mickey Mouse ears on me, lol. So I have to be careful to make them cute without being juvenile, heehee.

I think I'll be wearing them a lot this summer!

One of my favorite cancelled tv shows, Firefly, had a character that would wear the cutest wee double buns. Kaylee's Buns.

[gogirlanime]

I haven't worn my hair like that in years I think you have inspired me to. Although... I work in a mall and girls are mean in them, there is this girl across from me at T-mobile who always points at me for god knows what reason, she wears them all the time and will probably think I'm copying her. Especially since my hair color is going to be similar to hers soon, I gotta think about that. It's not like I care if I am "copying" her but I just don't want to deal with her pointing and laughing at me all day because it is annoying, not because I care what she thinks.

[Laurenji]

I like double buns! I usually do high up ones on each side so that they look like ears. :)

[Vespertine]

This is my daily style lately. I wear them high or low with two spin pins in each bun.

[Vespertine]

My hair is in two high cinnabuns on either side of my head being held by two spin pins each. Super easy, comfortable and holds all day.

[Venefica]

I do Chinese double buns when I am dressing up. I love them. I want to learn a few new styles of double bun as well.

[mellie]

I LOVE double buns! I would never wear a single bun, but double buns are my go-to when it gets really hot out.

[Vespertine]

OMG. I really didn't mean to respond to this twice. Can I use the I have a new baby and am seriously sleep deprived excuse? Sorry!

I love the hairpins, too.

[Venefica]

Dfotw you look like Chun Li from Street Figther with those two buns side by side, it is just to cute. How do you make those buns?

[Sagi1982]

I LOVE double buns, but while other girls look like Sailormoon (cute) or Venetian renaissance ladies while sporting them, i look like a oktoberfest waitress :rolleyes:...

One of the few styles which doesn't suit me.:(

[RedStripe]

Once a week or so I use a double bun style of two little buns, fairly high but not all the way at the top of my head, fastened with one large hair fork pushed all the way through both. Feels fresh and cute to me without completely making me look like an anime character, which would probably not be too flattering on my 57-year-old self.

Best TV show ever!!!!!!!
I love double buns. I was so happy when I got a hold of mini spin pins because it makes them so easy to do. My best friend and I call them Koala ears, because she went to Australia and got her picture taken at the zoo with one, and her hair was up in double buns and she matched the Koala! It was such a cute picture!!!

I love double buns! I do these aysymmetric fully rolled ones now my hair is long enough, they make really cute 50's waves :)

[dfotw]

Thank you, elbow_chick (the pins are decorated Amish pins from Ravenslair) and Venefica. To make the buns, I just part my hair where appropriate and do a small cinnabun/BeebuttBun with each half of hair. Pin in place, and voil&#224;! :D

Pink.Sara, those asymmetric double buns look great! :)

ETA: bonus pic of my double bee-butt buns today, held with small matching horn sticks! (it's REALLY hot outside)

I always make two braids, and some of the time fold them into two buns, held with Flexis. Right now each braid is clipped to the base of the other, with enough soft ends to stroke my cheeks. :)

[Helix]

I wore my hair in low twisted double buns at the beginning of this month just for a change from the usual single bun. Got a couple of compliments too...mostly from kids :)

Here are a pair I wore a while back. I was cosplaying (chunli-buns on my textured hair. the buns turned out looking more like a cross between princess leia and chun-li but I was happy enough with it. Wish I'd taken a profile pic...

[MeganE]

I love stacked double buns! So comfortable and I think they're really interesting looking. I always think my hair looks best when some of the hair is pulled high from the earline and some is in the other direction, and double buns totally accomplish that. Double half-up clips achieve a similar look. Plus it's easy to let the bottom one down and switch to a half-up. Haven't taken any pictures yet, though I've worn them a few times now. I'm basically in pain because I want Grah-toe micro minis for them so badly, I just can't afford them right now!!

[McFearless]

I used to wear them all the time, a la Scary Spice.

[whitestiletto]

ME!

My hair isn't long enough to get two full buns (yet) but tomorrow I'm going to wear two high-up ponytails, with the end of the ponytail looped inside the elastic. Thanks for the inspiration!

[katsrevenge]

Oh! I've been wearing these lately! The BF loves them and calls them Princess Leigha buns. He even asks me to where the hair like that...which is not so much his manner of being. One day I hope mine are as impressive as that Star Wars' girl.

And, they are so much cooler then other hair styles. Win/win.

[lilasianvixen77]

I'll have to try that style someday! Hopefully my hair's long enough for 2 buns!

[kidari]

Me! I'm almost 30 but I love double buns high on top of the head and low ponytails, braided or unbraided, with or without a basebal cap.

Think I might try this! Definitely more of a hanging out with the man 'do than a work do, though. I suspect he has a schoolgirl thing, as he really digs my braided pigtails ;)

[Tisiloves]

I like them, particularly stuck right next to each other, they make a fun infinity/figure 8 shape.

Sadly I can't really wear them atm as they are tiny and get overwhelmed by anything used to secure them.

[summerfox]

I think it's really cute but sometimes hard to pull off. But with all the great hair on this forum I am sure most of us can rock it!

[spirals]

They are so cute, but I have never worn them. hmmm....yeah, never! I wonder why not? I have done double ponytails, which make me look like Dorothy (Wizard of Oz), and people love it. In fact, they like me in any style that requires a center part down the back. So I will do double buns tomorrow. It's perfect; tomorrow it will be 99F and humid.

[auburntressed]

I wear double buns about once a week or so. I do them side by side, but I have also tried one on top of the other - which works fabulously with Spidermom's buns.

What I've noticed is that when my hair is in a more "childish" style such as double buns, double braids, or Heidi braids, I get a whole lot of compliments on my hair. Any other style, no one ever says anything. But when I have one of these styles, people randomly stop me when I am out to compliment me.

My theory is that, as I am quite pudgy, these styles give a a kind of cute squishy look that somehow appeals to people? Like the stereotypical large German lady in TV shows who is always trying to hug you? Or Swiss... I've been told I look like a little Swiss girl many times when I wear the Heidi braids. Of course, being told that I look like a "little" anything is pretty laughable!

Today I'm wearing two low buns, loosely braided, coiled, and secured with my two inch amish pins. Then I wrapped a vintage silk scarf around and tied at the top, this not only secures the hairdo all day, but protects it as well.

[Elanadi]

I'm so glad I read this post, I love double buns, I think they are cute! I never think to wear them, though! I made some today with dutch braids (too loose, I'm still learning!) and braided cinnamon buns.

I love double buns but I hardly ever do them because achieving symmetry is a pain.

[firegypsy]

I adore double buns! I've never done them with sticks...I just use the tiny claw clips. I wear them once or twice a week. They're so comfortable and I think they're cute. I wish mine were bigger, but I have found that wrapping half clockwise and the other half counter-clockwise gives more volume.

[Zesty]

Okay, I'm a fan but I've never worn them before because I didn't have the tools (I can never get a whole hairstyle to hold with hairpins). I like them lower or mid-level, and I don't think I could pull off high. BUT, inspired by this thread and by Foxface's hairstyle in the Hunger Games, I went out and got some claw clips and gave it a shot. (This was the only screenshot I could find of Foxface's double buns; sadly it's blurry: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1f1ax1Mxg1qhn9yuo1_400.jpg).

I love double buns. Ordinarily, I wear one at the nape and one right above it. And ooh, I'm loving the photos!

I love double buns! But I never wear them because they don't suit me at all... They make me look 10 years younger when I already look young enough. My favorite is the double knot buns.

Thank you Sarahlabyrinth and Lapushka! I did them right on top of each other for an "8" effect and I did nautilus buns. I was so excited to make several shorter sets work now with this setup! I will have to wear this style all next week!

I have at least four sets on the shorter side that need love.

[lapushka]

Well at least, you have the accessories for it. :whistle: ;) :lol:

[Wildcat Diva]

Hahaha tHose I definitely have!

[missrandie]

The second I saw this thread up, I knew you had posted those, WD :cool:

[Wildcat Diva]

Yeah that's just because you got the special Texas gals club preview via text.

Note to self: I really should get out more as I have been playing with hair all afternoon and pestering my hairy friends with my hairy projects while they are succeeding at life lol.

Succeeding at life? Lol... I think you left the bar low enough to step over there, lady.

Besides, I pestered you, so you can pester me. Lol

And what's wrong with taking an afternoon to make some pretties in your horde work? Nothing, I say!

[Wildcat Diva]

Well, ok, fair enough. Mutual pestering conceded. I am wearing my double buns out of the house to go to the liquor store, now there is the culmination of epic achievement for my day! :)

[lapis_lazuli]

That's a really cute look, Wildcat Diva! :thud: I want to try it!! So pretty

[PristineAllure]

I tried double buns about a year ago and the response I got has not encouraged me to do them again. I got a couple of laughs and then was told I looked like some sort of Anime character :( Was probably true though.

See. This is why I'm afraid to wear double buns. Though I really want to. But I guess I'm afraid I will look childish, or like some sort of anime character.

[Wildcat Diva]

Thank you. Lapis!

Pristineallure, Yeah I understand. I wore them for one weekend with a middle part and I did feel a little odd, but no one really commented.
The way I wore them yesterday looks like very little difference from wearing an "8" bun though. I did them right on top of each other.

[jupiterinleo]

Great look, WD! I wear buns like that at home. I can't really wear them out as I don't have any matching hairtoys large enough.

I love the twin bun look but have a hard time implementing, as I struggle to get my bee-butts or cinnabuns to stay and look even. I think I just need more practice.

[Wildcat Diva]

I had a little struggle with getting them even too. I did nautilus buns and liked that look.

[PristineAllure]

Thank you. Lapis!

I think I will try them on top of each other as well. Maybe I will like that better.

[Groovy Granny]

I think they look great...on OTHERS...like WD :thumbsup:

But on ME?....:nono:....my silver is so fine, I could only make 2 pin curls secured with a BOBBY PIN :rollin:

[enting]

I'm glad this thread was revived. I like double buns! I really like making two little nautiluses right at my crown and securing them both with the same double pointed knitting needle. I think it looks like little horns :).
If I'm going for a more mature look, I have worn double rose buns right next to each other near my nape. From the front, it just looks like a wide, low bun.

[Duchess Fuzzy Buns]

OOh me! I like double buns! :agree: I like to do two french braids and bun them into little braided cinnabuns (they're almost never even, lol). Wildcat Diva, yours are really cute, and I'm swooning over those forks. So pretty. :heartbeat
I've got a pair of smallish matching forks on their way from Canada right now, so I'll be double bunning it up when they get here! :mail:

[Colochita]

I love them too. I have done odangos (Sailor moon buns) before, but I have no good pictures. :( I have a young face so I think they suit me. I like loose ponytails too. :p Since my hair is so thick, they kind of fan out and curl around my shoulders. I need to take pictures of these things!!

[Dessi]

I think they look super cute. Haven't tried them yet! Wish I had some shorter hairsticks..well, I'll think of some other hairtoys to use and will be back for pictures if they look decent. :D

[redredrobin]

WD they look excellent on you! I'm inspired.

[Dessi]

Here I am with pics. :D Well, I guess they could look worse so..
http://s22.postimg.org/smt5vh8up/indexkok.jpg

[redredrobin]

They look awesome!

I'm currently wearing my own Wildcat Diva buns (buns above each other with GTS antlers). Turns out my brain cannot accept using a fork left handed, so I improvised.

I think it looks really cool.

[Wildcat Diva]

Thank you everyone! I'm flattered so many people liked my look.

Dessi, I knew yours would be huge and lovely. Great job.

Redredrobin, isn't it comfy? I'm sure it looks really fantastic.

[redredrobin]

I'll try to get a pic. Yes, it's really comfy! Reminds me a little of Rey in Star Wars, although she had three buns and they were kind of... saggy? I'm not sure what they were :D

[Dessi]

Thank you for your lovely comments! :flower:
I'd like to express my disappointment: today, a complete stranger on the street asked me something that in English would probably sound like: "What are these circles on your head?" Like seriously?! How could you even say such a thing?

[languagenut]

Random strangers say odd things sometimes...

I don't know if I like double buns. When I was a kid my mom did a bun on each side of my head, and I yelled and screamed because I thought it looked awful and didn't want to be seen like that. Whether it did look awful, or it was just me freaking out because I wasn't used to it, I really couldn't say, I was just a kid and don't really remember. I haven't tried any other double bun styles as of yet.

[redredrobin]

Aw Dessi, I'm sorry. Perhaps they were just curious rather than meaning to sound rude. Was it a bloke? He might have thought it was a good way to chat to you. Men are silly sometimes :p

To be honest I think we've all had experiences where people tend to be ruder to longhairs than they might normally be. It's annoying.

What a weird thing to say. :confused: I thought they look cute though.

[Wildcat Diva]

I had someone tell me Sunday that my hair looked cute In the double buns. It was the son's gF's mom who I first met.

Dessi, I'm sorry people can be kinda rude. I hope you don't let anyone bother you with their rudeness.

[Nadine <3]

Those are really cute WD! I don't have matching hair toys, but maybe I'll test it out with some spin pins! Mine will be *super* tiny though...

[endersworld]

I've never tried double buns, but I put my hair up like Rey's the other day! It wasn't too hard, though it probably would have been a little easier if my hair was shorter (wow - how many times do you say that?).
I may have to try double buns now - they look so nice on you, WD!

[Swan Maiden]

Dessi, your double buns look fantastic, but I'm blown away by how lovely your nails are.

Well, I tried them!
http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s637/nschommer22/011_zpsh4tvgndf.jpg

My tiny buns are so tiny that my spin pins stick out of both sides. :violin:
Maybe it would look cool if I braided in some parandas! That would give me some extra bulk...

[lapis_lazuli]

So pretty, Nadine <3! If you do braid in some parandas please share :)

[Nadine <3]

Thank you, Lapis_Lazuli! I will be sure to snap some photos and share! Maybe I'll test it out later this week when my hair isn't so clean and explody haha

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Nadine, so cute and elegant all at the same time! ;)

Ok, you have all convinced me to try these.

I do think they look kind of cute - I think they would bring some stares if I wore them out, but, I actually rather like them. They are easy , really comfortable to wear and they give my hair a break from always being bunned in the same place. And look, who knew I has a zebra stripe right there? ;)

[Duchess Fuzzy Buns]

Nadine and Sarahlabyrinth you both rocked it! :cheer:

[chen bao jun]

Oh, how cute. what inspiration, too.
Maybe I will try this.
My problem will be, though, that I can't part my curly hair evenly at all. I hate fighting against my curl pattern, which I have to fight to do it..don't know if you all will know what I'm talking about exactly. Anyway, I end up with this wierd zigzaggy line instead of a proper part.
but it would solve some problems. 1. could vary my buns. I end up doing one on top of my head all the time, so that I can lean my head back , bun in the same place all the time, no good
2. thick hair problems. I can do a lazy wrap or nautilus now, but not easily. To do one with half my hair though would be no problem at all..
I'm not worried about the part where I look silly because I usually do.

[Wildcat Diva]

Maybe I'll be brave one day :)

Hey! I wore mine like that to the grocery store and to the movies! (But it was Star Wars lol).

Whole outfit...

Ooooh! I forgot that I wore them to my Saturday job (this same day, so same outfit exactly) and one of the ladies working there laughed out loud at me but didn't say anything really about why she did so. Like, not in a cruel way, it seemed, more like the sight of the hairstyle tickled her.

[jupiterinleo]

Looks awesome, WD! I love the sticks.

The other day I put my hair up in two lazy wrap buns, perfectly even on both sides... and then I remembered I forgot to pull my sweatshirt on beforehand, so I had to take them out and redo them. Of course they didn't come out nearly as good as that first try. :justy: I know I can do them comfortably though, which is great.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Twin buns seem to look cute on everybody! :) I think it's a real "fun" hairstyle.

[lunasea]

I like to hold them with one fork to pretend my puny bun is bigger!

[hairandtherian]

Today I saw a little girls with two buns, worn high like little cat ears on her head. I decided I'd try that soon (but at home)

[redredrobin]

Wore double buns to work with antlers. No comments, as usual :D

[Duchess Fuzzy Buns]

Double buns! My forks are a little crooked, but you get the idea. :bluebiggr

[meteor]

^ So gorgeous! :crush:

I love this style so much. :D And all the photos posted here look so beautiful. I'm quite impressed by how uniform you guys manage to make them - it's no small feat to try and make them mirrored - I know I can't. I sometimes do double buns with a section (about a third) of my hair left out so that I can braid it and pin it between and around the two buns to "gel" the look together and make it more like one big figure-8-like updo and less like Leia buns (I always get those comments irl :lol:).

[Duchess Fuzzy Buns]

Thanks meteor! Yeah, I tried this yesterday also and the bottom bun ended up a lot looser and hence bigger looking than the top one. It is a little tricky to get things even. When I do side by side buns they are rarely perfectly even, but I'm all for "close enough." :o
ETA: Where do you take the section from to do the braid in the style you were describing? From between the two buns?

[meteor]

^ Oh yes, they do look perfectly even, so beautifully done, lauren_alia! :thumbsup:
Yes, I just take some hair from nape hairline area (in the middle, between the two sections that will be turned into 2 side-by-side buns) and pin it around the two buns any way that looks nice, but usually in figure-8 fashion. As for vertical bun positioning, I still take nape hair for that third section, but it looks uneven on me when I pin it vertically, because the braid/twist comes out from either left or right (using 2 braids/twists instead of one to come out from each side would solve this problem). It might be worth experimenting with hair sections taken from different areas to create different looks. :)

[fairycurls]

I don't have matching hair tools but tried double side buns today after all of your beautiful photos inspired me. This is the most comfortable style hands down. Plus I love that don't have to use any pins for my bangs as they grow out. I dislike using bobby pins cause I think they can be damaging.

[llamacat]

I just tried it today. It's comfortable but I don't think I'll wear it in public.

[Wildcat Diva]

http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j386/janineevans/E958E65C-6A53-456D-BCC1-FCCCF496D4BB_zpsrxgoovuf.jpg
Double magic knot buns. I made top one first, then used the ends as part of the hair for the bottom bun. Instead of wrapping the bottom buns's excess length underneath, I rope braided it and then wrapped it around both buns.

[Wildcat Diva]

Here is a hip slinging bump to this thread punctuated by both buns.

[RebekahE]

Gorgeous, WD! I don't have the patience or time. Plus I'm a perfectionist so if it doesn't come out right I redo it.

[gthlvrmx]

I am wearing double buns right now! :) Matching green acrylic hairsticks with my bright green Mexico shirt.

[Wildcat Diva]

Haha! That's fantastic.

They are not hard to do, although I'll admit I redid the top one. XD

[Atarah]

Very pretty, Wildcat Diva!


I tried a double nautilus bun (side-by-side) the other day. I thought it was cute, but not sure I'd go out in public (my idea of cute doesn't often match up with others'). It also didn't hold very long, but I think that was possibly because my hair isn't quite long enough and extrememly slippery. (Please excuse the greasiness of my hair, it was getting washed the next morning.)

[MidnightMoon]

I like how they look on other people, but when done on myself I feel I look a bit silly, or at least not comfortable enough as to leave the house with this style... perhaps I should challenge myself one day and give it a go.

[littlestarface]

Me, I think they're ao adorable and make anyone look really cutey pretty in them.

[AmberJewel]

I've gotta try this sometime! The closest I ever came was a couple years ago when I did 3 little cinnabuns on the back of my head that I thought looked kind of like flowers. Then I added little butterfly clips. :)

[sanguinebread]

I've tried them out at home and liked the weight distribution and the resemblance to horns, but I wasn't sure about wearing them outside. (I mostly associate the look with anime.) I may try it this weekend, though, seeing this thread has encouraged me.

[Ellethwyn]

[wispe]

Everyone's double buns look great (I kind of really want a set of little forks to hold doubles with now); I ended up wearing doubles today I felt so inspired. I originally tried two on top of each other but I couldn't figure out the right balance, so I re-did them side by side. They were a little better matched when I wore them out; I mussed them changing shirts after I finished my errands for the day.

[Calypso]

I love double buns! Mine are always uneven and messy with the sticks at weird angles, but I think it adds to the look. :P Here's my double dutch braided buns today, with added colourful scarves.

http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/amber_isabella/temporary_95.jpg

[Ellethwyn]

Calypso, they look awesome, I love the scarves. The colors look beautiful with your hair color.

[Apolli]

So many gorgeous hairstyles! I didn't know that double buns would be so varied :0
I have traction alopecia at the top of my hairline that I'm trying to baby as well as a lot of volume and disobedient curls, so I've taken to making a high loose bun and a lower one when my hair gets in my way too often- so double buns are a lifesaver for me.

I especially love the way you've woven the scarves into your hair @ Calypso! Very creative and looks lovely.

I love double buns, too! This hairstyle looks so cute. But I didn't wear it outdoors so far ...

[Arctic]

Calypso, I like this style on you and the scarves are beautiful!

Listen, how did you like securing the scarf buns? I ask because I have tried a scarf bun few times and almost ruined a gauzy scarf with bobby pins. You know, because they get stuck in the fabric. So a) securing is difficult and b) scarf seems to easily take some beating. I see you used sticks but I also think I see at least one pin. Did you have any problems with the securing and do you have any tricks you could share? I'd love to use scarf more often but have been hesitating since the time I almost put holes in one.

[wispe]

@Calypso, adding the scarves makes for a super cute style!


wow! I love your hair color, simply amazing! :inlove:
Thanks so much (:

[Calypso]

Thanks so much, everyone! Arctic, these scarves are a bit old and flimsy anyway (plus I stole them from my mum :P) and had at least one hole, so I wasn't too worried about damaging them. But the sticks actually held them pretty well, I only needed one pin to secure the end of one of the scarves. I probably could have pinned them more to make them neater, but I quite like the messy look. :) It probably depends on the material of the scarves, too; these ones are quite silky feeling and so the pin slid easily on and off without damaging them, but other scarves might break more easily.

[Duchess Fuzzy Buns]

So many cute styles here! wispe your color is so pretty, like cotton candy. :crush: Calypso love the scarves mixed in there. It looks summery and fun. :heartbeat

Yestetday was "mouse ears", and sometimes I wear them.lower or over/under in the back.

Today's double buns look a bit like giant mouse ears from the front, but I still like them. :)

This thread makes me want to actually try doing 90s throwback "Cat ear" buns but I'm not sure how we'll they'll suit my hair texture. I will have to see it seems. You all look so good! It's super inspiring.

I like to hold them with one fork to pretend my puny bun is bigger!

*gasp* this wins the thread! Please tell me where oh where that fork is from? That's a stunner!

I love double buns and wear them often. Only ever tried them as side buns either high, or at the nape, or as lunasea did using one fork. But I love all of the looks! I will be in here later with a pic of double buns with my new forks Adiro gifted me in the summer swap.. excited to join this thread!

Oooh, I've never done over under buns like that before. That's awesome and now I have to try!

[MamaLou]

LOL I barely have enough thickness for ONE bun....never mind DOUBLE :rollin:

But they look amazing on you :thumbsup:

[Zesty]

WD I love that look!

I last posted on this thread in 2012, perhaps I care less about what other people think now than I did then (likely) because I have no qualms about double buns anymore, even the more unusual versions. I would wear them every day if I weren't so lazy. I like accessorizing with little scrunchies too (for extra goofiness?). I think I posted this on the bun thread but here are some messy ones placed low:

I also spent a good long time experimenting with doing Sailor Moon style buns without any hair ties and felt so freaking kawaii when I finally got it to work. I haven't worn them out but my inner child is busy convincing me. (Spotty mirror pic for the win.)

(I also felt very accomplished because the method is rather length-shortening and the tails are still so long!)

I like them-- both low and high-- but they don't always work so well for me. They end up too large, and instead of being cute, they just look like two big cinnamon rolls on my head (my head is also small, so the buns nearly touch). The only way to make the circumference smaller is to let them bee-butt, but then they stick out and look silly, like weird antennae. :(

[squirrrel]

Those are looking good.

I’m not the biggest bun fan in the world, but just stuck my double braids into side by side centre-held buns. I love the idea of holding them with antlers, if I can get them in the right length. The pins are a little short and I wouldn’t trust them to hold for much.

[Elodea]

I like double buns, but obviously they take a bit longer to do than single buns. If I want them to look a little less whimsical, I place them lower on the head rather than right at the top like ears. Usually I don't pay too much attention to making them perfectly even or even parting my hair with a comb, I just separate it into two approximately equal sections by hand and then bun. So they probably come out looking a bit wonky at least some of the time. I attempt to get them symmetrically positioned on my head, but that doesn't always turn out perfecty.

I've only tried double buns with nautilus buns or cinnabuns, though currently I think nautilus buns work better. Usually I do them side by side, but once I did them lined up vertically. I want more pairs of short(er) hair sticks so that I can use them for double buns. Or maybe even a set of three so I could try triple buns?

I do find that sometimes the ends of my hair seem to poke at my scalp a bit uncomfortably with this style (around the center part), or at least I think that's what's happening.

[Entangled]

I love regular double buns, but mixing it up with stacked buns is fun, too!

So neat! What are those tiny forks?

[CopperButterfly]

So neat! What are those tiny forks?
Thanks! They are actually large U pins I found on Amazon. They have a bunch of colors to try and match hair colors. They really come in handy for working like a tiny fork for smaller buns like this, or pinning up a braided bun while mostly hiding. But I find them more secure than normal sized U pins, and I don't need so many.

TatsuOni those buns are awesome, and I love how you used the 2 sticks. The accent braid is a nice touch.

[desisparkles]

Bat Buns?!?! Tatsu, those are wicked cool!

Here are my infinities. Double buns don't come out perfectly easily but after a couple tries I decided this was as good as its gonna get this time. I'm content with that decision.

Double buns with medium and large olivine ficcare. The bigger bottom bun is also held with a ponytail elastic because today I can tolerate no sagginess. We are headed to the Norman Rockwell art exhibit and then to a wedding tonight.

Looks beautiful Diva! :)
