Qwik Bun/EZ Bun

Hi everyone!

At the North Dakota State Fair this past summer I noticed a booth selling Qwik Buns or EZ Buns (I dont remember which one it was!).

Has anyone ever tried these products? What did you think of them if you have tried them?

I think they look pretty good, and I'd like to give them a try, but before I order a few, I wanted to check in with the LHC!

Nobody? Hmmm................I thought someone might have seen them before

Hmm, nope!
Sorry I haven't seen anything like that!

Short version: I tried it and liked it and do not hesitate recommending it.

Long version: Had to google them to see what you meant, since the names meant nothing to me.

Now that I know what it is, I have indeed used one of these. I found it very handy, hair friendly and comfortable. I used it for several years until the wire broke from bending backwards and forwards too many times.

Granted, my hair was a lot shorter back then, but even since it "died" on me, I've wanted to replace it. Problem was, I never saw it anywhere.

Thanks to you, I now know where to get some.

They look easy to make.

I think I'll give it try sometime. They look really useful.

ETA: I really like the video they've got for the double bun. Gorgeous.

I tried one once, but my hair was too slippery and too long/heavy for it to work (or I couldn't make it work). It wouldn't stay in.

I have had a few of these - ever hopeful. They look nice in use, but I always managed to have some painful hair pulling, no matter how loose or tight I rolled the thing up. I finally had to admit defeat and give up. YMMV.

I have one, but I can't get it to work for me anymore. I find they work better on shorter lengths. (If you notice, the girl in the demos has hair no longer than BSL.) Now that my hair is past waist, I find it's near-impossible to use. I've given up on mine and use other tools, like hairsticks.

Tips: They do have something similar at Åhléns right now.

Years ago I tried something similar, and the wire broke.

But their site says lifetime guarantee, so if'n they still are in business that's pretty good!

This looks better with the hole instead of trying to hold two of them together at one time to make a "slot".

I asked hubby, he says I should try it, so we'll see.

Thanks for posting about it!

Hugs!
