Am not sure if I am doing the right thing, wearing my hair up in a tight bun for long periods (maybe 36 hours sometimes). Having it up really helps look after the condition of my hair as is *very* fine - but it is affecting the direction of growth slightly at my crown. This means my hair doesn't naturally lie flat for a little bit of it at the crown without applying some hair oil, etc. I guess it is a sort of 'cow lick' at the crown really :P
I did used to put in two braids, but I used to get far more tangles with these - and a loose tie of hair when down doesn't stop it tangling either.
I do feel I am placing quite a lot of tension on the roots of my hair with the bun, but it just makes things so much easier and simpler in terms of not needing to spend an hour plus a day detangling, which also means saving hair too!!! The tension doesn't affect anywhere else.
What do you think!?
