Thanks for the coconut oil tip, DarkCurls. I have a some at home and have been using it for my skin (and in place of other fats for eating). I did an oil treatment on my ends and they look amazing this morning.

I can do a figure 8 bun.. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

On my way to Tailbone! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hmmmm maybe by the end of next year? lol. my hair grows sooo slowly.

But here's a pic of my first figure 8 bun.

With brushed out curly hair. So very fuzzy figure 8 bun. I'm just sooo proud.

Looks fab! My taper from layers makes mine look much more lopsided than yours, which is why I'm maintaining. Well done and good inspiration for me!

The figure-8 is one of my favorite buns, it looks really good Marbid!

Hey guys, was just wondering about bun size. Any of you guys that wear buns often, now that you're past waist is it getting really big and heavy? Because mine is, I'm starting to worry that at TBL and beyond I will have a behemoth of a bun! :')

Well. My hair is 3.8 inches in thickness... I have not found it heavy. All I know is that I don't find my hair heavy yet. But then again. I am a small person. my length at a little bit past waist is only 28" at the moment.

Ah wait. My lil sis is iii thickness and at 34"..... I don't think she finds her hair heavy yet, she wears a lot of high buns. But then again, she has maintained that length for a long time.

Perhaps it's all a matter of the strength of your neck muscles.... Perhaps that is what defines weather hair feels heavy or not. hmmmm.....

Yay, I can join this thread!

My ponytail is a solid 4" and I'm at about 31" - my waves can never make up their mind on how long they are. My hair or updos have never felt heavy to me, but my hair's always been longish so maybe my neck is used to supporting that? I'm not sure, but do wurls and curls feel lighter and bouncier than straighter hair?

I've only just recently started feeling like my high buns are heavy or uncomfortable. My hair is still quite layered, approaching BCL and slightly above average ii. Most of my buns still don't look too big though, but they might start to if I didn't have the layers.

For the first time I made a sectioned bun yesterday which felt so much better than a regular cinnabun which is pretty much what I've been wearing at work. I need a bun that can be held with pins because I have to wear a hardhat. So just part your hair horisontally, make a bun with one section and then twirl the hair from the other section around it. Other option is to make two separate buns of course.

Yay we do have similar hair but yours is far nicer and thicker
