The few I've been able to put up look like a hot mess, and my ends stick out. They also fall out eventually. While I realize more practice would help as well, I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for beginner-friendly tutorials, or some tricks which might make it easier for me to get a successful bun which doesn't resemble a rat's nest. I looked at a tutorial list here on LHC already, but I've found a lot of buns are for hair longer than mine, or not as thick. It seems like a catch-22; I keep hearing that wearing my hair up will help it get longer more quickly due to less breakage, but it seems I can't wear it up until it gets longer on its own!
