Nefcerka, I just had try to bild it once or twice but I wasn't happy with it. May be I should try it agin.

By the way, I am wearing a Disc bun with a 60thSreet 3 prong fork today

Hi Fiorentina, lovely to see you again. I was getting lonely, posting here on my own

As for caterpillar bun, it didn´t hold very well for me - I think I need to figure out how to push the stick through it properly. I don´t have a suitable fork, maybe it would work better with this bun. Lapis_lazuli´s bun is like the caterpillar bun, just inverted, in my opinion, and that holds better for me, even with just a stick.
For the celtic knot bun I found two tutorials - one is sarahlabyrinth´s and the other one is saltdraca (both on youtube). I tried both, possibly the latter held better for me.

Today I´m wearing the chameleon bun for the first time. I managed to get it right on the first attempt, cool. And when I look at my bun alphabet, disc bun is next in line, so I´ll be wearing your bun tomorrow

Have a nice day, Fiorentina.

Second attempt at an orchid bun. I like the shape and it seems secure, but my hair sticks are too short.

Nefcerka, I think we do enjoy great learning fun together here, yes, and of corse we have also a very lovely conversation together.
I never did a caterpillar bun because I am not sure if my hair is long in enough but it is very interesting what you have experienced. I can learn by sharing personal experiences... most wonderful.
For me every bun in general holds better in place with a fork. One exception is the good old LWB. This one holds super also with a single stick. I dont know why but that is how it is.
Today I am wearing an LWB BUUUUT I changed my hands work. So my left hand did what usually my right hand does and my right hand did what usually my left hand does. Oh dear, I can tell you it was an undertaken. I like the result, now the bun turns in the opposite direction.
Regards
Fiorentina

mochichichi, learning new stuff is always nice.
Sometimes it takes more than one try, but you are even happier with the result.

This is funny, I randomly thought of the orchid bun for today after wearing a hypnobun for years.

So I am wearing an orchid bun held with a metal hairstick. It may not be my new go-to but I like it!

Thank you for reminding me, Fiorentina. I remember that tuanyiji already mentioned this, doing buns with the other hand than you usually do, but I forgot about it. Now I wrote it down - I make notes about all new buns

and how to do them, tips to try.
I´m wearing the disc bun today. I´m so clumsy, my fine hair keeps tangling when I make it. I´ll have to practice more. Also my hair looks compacted in this, but on the other hand, it holds like a rock.
