I am officially in starting today nov. 15, 2 weeks later than everyone else, but I plan on cheating at least having my hair down once a week, or at least a portion of it out...

I have composed an Excel sheet that I have already preorganized my routines to follow for each week for next 3 months...

I am joining today too...What do I have to lose, I wear buns all the time anyway. This will help me not cut my hair so often.

So far so good, my daughter and I have discovered alot of new stlyes, lol, all leading to a bun in the end. Today I'm going to do a mohawk type thing but will put the ends into a bun instead of the spikey or curly look, I did a nother sisters hair yesterday who is natural w/this same type hair style except hers went into a nice puff, I loved it. Now I can't wait to see the end results of mine.

I actually didn't stick to bunning until earlier this week. I did do individual twists last night though, but I can pull them up into a bun. When I did bun this week I put some fancy cornrows in the front of my hair and bunned the rest, got compliments and I love how it took me no time in the morning to do my hair. Think I'm gonna like this bunning thing

i'm doing good.

i'm still bunnin' too. i've been doing it all month. but i think i'm going to switch to braids for december. and then back to buns for jan. maybe...i need to protect my nape from my coats/sweaters/scarfs. its very short and has trouble growing. braids will be easier to deal with.

Let me just say I was out last night with my husband and I had my natural hair straightened w/ the Maxiglide and in a bun and THANK THE LORD I did b/c it was coooooolllddddddd! Ladies I am so in -and to take it to the next level can we also start posting some bun how-to's and varieties? Doing a bun for 3 months isn't the most exciting thing so if we have ways to jazz it up and we can share amongst ourselves that would be great.

If there is already a topic on that can someone please post?

Thanks ladies - I am learning so much more here!

Luv04 I am sporting a sew-in exactly like the picture in your siggy. I will be wearing this as my protective style for a while. So easy! All I do is wash, spray with African Pride Braid Spray(with Peppermint oil) and use Infusium 23 moisturising leaving in. I can sleep in a few minutes which is great during the winter . BTW, I hope to see you at our next meeting in January!

Count me in! Last week I started wearing a phony scrunchie. I moisturize my hair really good with leave in conditioner, water, and oils and slick with mango butter. I twisted my hair around into a small ball and tucked with two hair pins and then wrapped the phony hair scruchie around my hair until it was covere this created a phony pony look but with a scrunchie. I got a little bored with that hair style. So I might do a strawset in between and wear my hair out on Sundays and Mondays and then back into a protective style Tuesday through Saturday. I have another protective style that I do with just pinning my hair, it almost looks like a french twist but not quite.

I will like to do the bun, if I can figure out how to do it right.

I'm in, I have been wearing a bun all week, so I want to keep it going for 3 months, then I will relax my hair in January. That will give me 4 months of no relaxer.
