Bun wearers how many updo styles in usual repertoire?

I'd love to say there's more variety, but in reality, I pretty much alternate between a cinnabun and a lazy wrap bun. I also do regularly wear either single or double English braids--I don't know if those count as updos. I also like the Gibralter bun and figure 8, but I never think to do one of those when I'm in a hurry. I can French/dutch braid well, but that's another option I just never think of when it comes time to do my hair. My plan is to actually print a list of all the updos I know, and then post it right next to my "hair station" to remind me that I have a lot of options and to try something different when doing my hair.

I really wanted the log roll to be an option, but I could never get it looking the way I want--I concluded my hair wasn't long enough for the look I was going for. I also plan to try the rose bun.

Two. French twist and cinnabun. Hoping to learn more styles soon. Grow hair grow

I generally wear either a Nautilus, Eva Simone's Snail bun (which is my avatar), or a Gibraltar. I also wear a braid at least once a week if it isn't in a bun.

That is brilliant. I must try it sometime.

I voted three, but really i only have two main ones:
- Gibraltar bun as my staple (3 or 4 days a week)
- Cinnabun with my ficcares (approx 2 days a week).

However, since I saw the hairstyle of the month sometime in the middle of this year I've added the cameo bun. Although mine is based on a cinnabun.

I do others, but only on special occasions! Most days I need something that will hold up to vigorous physical activity!

Honestly? One. I like to do different styles, but when I get up in the morning and just want to do my hair in two minutes, I just do a nautilus bun. Almost every day.

Four I think, though I'm trying hard to change more often.
I usually do these:
Masara
Lazy Wrap Bun
Cinnamon Bun
Log Roll (the short hair version

)

I do all kinds of things to my hair: Chinese, french twist, braid around my head, gibson, a twisty loop thing or I tape it.

I tend to wear two primarily: a french twist or a Celtic knot-type bun. I do like to mix it up once in a while though and try something different. And, I'm STILL trying to find a messy bun that works with my near-hip length!

Firefly, if you search her archives I'm 99% sure torrinpaige has a "messy bun" for long hair on YouTube.

I'm constantly changing how I put up my hair....a ponytail, gibson poof, messy bun, the bunned version of elling woman's hairstyle, and athena's owl rope braid bun (although i put it on top of my head), as well as a french braid and one day with it down.......that will basically get me through the week!
