Summer Bun Challenge

[Pennefeather]

krissyc39,

Sorry to hear about the problems taking down your bun. Hope your hair is in better condition now.

 

[Pennefeather]

Yeah the challenge is until the first day of Fall.

Thanks. We have three more weeks to the challenge then.

krissyc39,

Sorry to hear about the problems taking down your bun. Hope your hair is in better condition now.

It is thank you. I think that additional moisture + no stretching = tangled bad combination for me. I guess low manipulation only works when your hair doesn't need refreshing??

Relaxed in mid August and have been bunning both on wet and dry hair ever since..

Check in, I'm still bunning and getting good results. Tomorrow is wash day so I'm in the process of doing an overnight pre-poo with oils, also doing a protein treatment and back to the bun I go.

I did a curl former set this weekend, so my hair is sleek and stretched for a bun today.

Still bunning away. I haven't missed a day since we started. Love the fact that it takes just a couple of minutes in the morning.

I think that I probably need to cut back on my LOC though. I use my leave-in at night, add a small amount of coconut oil, and then a dab of Annabelle's creme. When I take my hair down in the morning, it is pretty common for it to be a little damp. Then I spray it again, add a small amount of oil, put more Annabelle's on and bun.

I'm not sure that it is good for my hair to be damp for so long. It's not dripping wet, but that ends are definitely damp. On the other hand, it has been growing - I attribute that to low manipulation and Green Magic.

I don't have any challenge specific growth pictures, but I do have these that I'm about to post. I'm posting a week before the challenge ends cause I know I won't take any when we're all done.

The first one is December 2013. The second is September 2014

 

[bluenvy]

Wow that's a lot of growth krissyhair bunning works. Glad I'm down with Team bun

Last day of summer bun challenge. I started this challenge grazing apl, now a little past apl. I'm happy with that. Here's my update pic

 

[krissyhair]

Thanks for your update pic bluenvy

To celebrate my last day of summer, and my last day of the challenge, I wore a bun to school today, but cowashed at the end of the day for a perfect wash and go tomorrow.

Way to go ladies

This was a great challenge. I will be flat ironing my hair this weekend and will post a picture.

 

[Pennefeather]

Can't believe summer is over already.

 

[krissyhair]

Is anyone interested in starting up again for summer 2015!? I am already hitting it with the cowashing and bunning. I got a new summer job, and will probably wear a bun most days to work.

Whadya say?

I would join. I started up bunning this week and I plan on keeping it up at least until July when I take my board exams. I just have to get the cowashing part together

 

[Prettymetty]

I have to bun for work anyway so I will join

 

[MzOptimistic]

I bun anyway so I'm in. I just need to find other bun styles because I'm getting tired of wearing the same one. Although, I'm going to wear it until I find other styles lol.

 

[krissyhair]

Sorry I've been up in every other hair thread except this one.

We should start on first official day of summer in June, and go until the last official day in September.

I'm not going to start a new thread, because all of the ancient bunning master secrets are in here.

I will clean this thread up and page all of last year's participants to see if they want to join.

I want to join. I've been wearing a faux high bun made with remy jerry curl tracks and a donut bun maker. Is this allowed for the challenge?

Please tag me when the challenge starts

 

[krissyhair]

Before we begin, I want some of your input.

Please PM any suggestions to change the rules or setup of the challenge to make it better for 2015.

 

[Rozlewis]

@krissyhair

I am interested in joining again. No suggestions for changing the rules of the challenge.

 

[prettybyrd]

I'm in! I fell off after I moved last summer, but this summer my class schedule is light and my hair in need of some TLC. I will be using the same regimen as last year. I will find and repost my old regimen.

Hey! I'm in.

Reason for joining
I workout everyday. I need a low manipulation style that I can rinse often.

Plus, I was reading the "Great-Grandma's Regimen" thread last night and I think that this challenge matches what a lot of ladies said their GG's regimens were like. I'm ready for my WL hair!

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm in a bun today. It's too hot for anything else

 

[krissyhair]

I got a trim in preparation for the challenge. Btw, it starts June 21.

 

[krissyhair]

I'm actually excited to cowash and bun this summer.

I'm going to try to not worry about my hair and focus on other areas of life.

Wearing a bun will hopefully take some focus away from my hair.

I want to become a better writer this summer. I want to save money, and look for deals when I need something new. I want to stop being a homebody, get more confidence, and work really hard at my summer job.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm ready to start bunning. I bought a new headband (I have dozens) and a bun maker. I also have a hairagami, a ponytailer, claw clips, butterlfly clips and spin pins.
