It's the basic Cali-girl look. I rock it from time to time. My favorite is a messy bun.

I have been rocking buns for the past week because it's like 800 degrees here in OK. LOL. Today I'm sporting a high bun and I'm loving it. I think the high bun has always been in style, but it does seem to be especially popular this summer.
(Side note: I watch a lot of Korean and Japanese dramas, and the actresses are always wearing super cute bun styles. I can't wait until my hair is long enough to play around with new hair buns. )

Ladies, thank you for this thread. I might take the wigs off for a while and do the high bun instead....I'm pretty sure that i have enough hair for a pretty big one....I'll try it next weekend.
I agree "high buns" have always been "in" to a certain extent. I can't say I saw many Black women rock them much until recently. If I think about it, I would say mostly young White and Asian women wore them. However, I would say they are even more popular now all around.
I think that celebs and fashion bloggers have a lot to do with it.
I prefer a slightly messier bun/topknot.

Yeah, I never really noticed other Black women wearing high buns until recently as well. I remember when I was in high school, all of my friends (I went to school in a predominately white and native american town) would just throw their hair up into a cute messy high bun/topknot. But my mom *hated* when I wore my hair like that because it looked "sloppy" and "black women should always look put-together" blah blah blah. I think I look just fine in a bun. It's not like I'm leaving the house in pajama pants!

I would say no longer than two weeks unless you have hair added. This is really pretty.

LOL I rocked buns in the early 90s all through college. And I'm rocking all sorts of them now. It's great because you can dress them up or down.

I was just watching a recording of Live! With Kelly, and that girl that sings that song "Call Me Maybe" was on. Both of her background dancers were wearing high buns. I thought about this thread.
ETA BTW, I was inspired to try one for the first time today and I must say, I really like it!

I don't know if this is a high bun...
I've only done it once. I put my hair in a ponytail with a stocking and tucked the ends under with bobby pins. I'm a 4b.

I've got twists extensions in my hair now, but I'll be doing them more. I would like to keep the bun in for days at a time. I took it down that night. Anyone keep their in for 3 days or more?

When I was in highschool the white girls would wear their hair in high buns and hold it in place with a pencil.
A more trendy twist on this is hairsticks.

This is beautiful. You Tube won't let me see any videos at the moment. What gives? Mind giving step by step instructions?

She did the bun on stretched hair (dried in two braids) so it appears smoother. Pulled it up into a high ponytail and smoothed with brush, water and gel. Split the ponytail into two parts, pinned them down with pins, spread them out, put more gel and a scarf on to smooth edges.
Hope that helps. If you are able to view the video, it will make more sense.
