I am so tempted to join this challenge now that my braids are out. I just don't know yet. I failed on the last challenge and only made it about 6 months.

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
i'm in. I've been bunning since last year anyway
So, to clarify, for special occasions, i can wear my hair out, correct?
I think what would really help the bun 'challenged' is by creating a separate topic (that can be tacked to the top) that shows various pics of buns (albums, ads, whatever). That would make the challenge more interesting and give us some ideas

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
i have been off and on the bun challenge because wearing a bun all the time would get boring to me. i have decided to do the bun thingy when i have a lotta new growth which is usually 2-3 months after getting a touch-up. when i have a lotta new growth, my hair doesnt look right when i wear it down.

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
I've decided to join--but a modified version...I only plan on wearing my hair bun'd/french-rolled for at least 5 days out of the week for the next 3 months--hey ya gotta crawl before you walk! Wish me luck and happy bun-ing ladies!

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
I like that idea model chick
I think even I could commit to that.
would a french braid count too even without the braid tucked under? I think its the same concept as cornrows except its one big one. That style is more flattering than a bun on me, especially with a little hair out in the front.

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
I am sooooo proud of myself! I've worn my hair in a bun all day today and plan on wearing it the entire week. I have a middle part and then I have it in a semi-low donut bun with this beaded bracelet of mine around it for decoration. I just got back from South Beach and I got so many looks from guys! I guess the bun isn't all that bad. haha
This Arabic guy even tried to pick me up and asked me if I was part Indian (whatever), anywho I guess even the bun looks great and classy. Let the challenge begin (again)!!

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
I want to do this but my hair maybe to short. I can put it in a pony tail that like and inch long. if I use an instant weave, can I put that in bun to cover my hair? cna a phony pony fit on that much hair?
I need my hair to grow and wearing it out everyday is not going to get me there fast

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
Just wanted to tell you that your hair looks great since you relaxed it. If that is not hair heading to waistlength I don't know girl. Are you going to keep it bunned mainly? I do and I am getting used to it. I just keep thinking....like Yvette...1 more inch..
.each month. Bonjour.

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
Mahalialee are you talking to me?
...I hope so since I'm responding
Thanks
It was a big decision to texturize. I have been thinking about it for months and months. I thought I would be guilty or feel I owed somebody an explanation but NOPE
It's a little liberating cause now I know I can go natural again if I so choose and I won't have to do the BC. And since I know what it's like to be natural I'm not interested in bone straight hair anymore..it's great.
I'm going to keep it braided up in plaits under an instant weave or else a french braid (which I was sporting for 2-3 weeks).

How much more before you hit waist length? I see a b.s one going but I've past that so I need the next step.

I believe a phony pony could fit over a really tiny ponytail--hey that's what they're for right?
Maybe you could start out with the phonytails that you clip on with a butterfly clip--then once your hair grows more you could use the drawstring...
That would be a great way for your hair to rest

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
Ok I'm a little late...but I'm going to jump in on this challenge. I have been sporting a side bun with a part in the middle for most of the Summer...so I know I can do it (hopefully). This will be a nice cure for HIH disease.

Re: Continuing Boadicea\'s Bun/chignon challenge
Okay, I've really jumped on the wagon...Here is a pic of the bun that I am now going to be wearing at least 5 days out of the week. I CW in the shower and let the water detangle. After I get out of the shower, I put a dollop of this stuff called "Liv" on my ends (as opposed to vaseline) and use some gel mixed with a little coconut oil that I apply to the roots on down and delicately comb back into a bun--then of course I do the little donut trick with a large scrunch to make my bun look a little bigger... I've just cut my getting-ready-for-work time down by 10 minutes!!
(pardon the "chipmunk cheek" but I had a dental procedure done that left my cheek slightly swollen--I'm sensitive!
)

Model chick what is the donut trick with the scrunchie? How long is your hair now? I just wanted to know because your hair looked below shoulder length and mine is collarbone and I cannot make a bun by regular wrapping.
