I'm natural I don't get it, I've seen other naturals with my texture slick down their hair (even if it does take half a gallon of gel) but my hair will poof up even with a gallon haha! It just makes my hair hard :/

Personally, I LOVES me a high bun, but I don't like the stress it puts on my hair for me to have to get it into a high bun; I typically wear low or mid-height buns, or wear my hair twisted up in a clip. It takes a bit of effort to "guide" my hair into a high bun, so often I don't wear them.

You know what's funny SkySurfer? I've seen naturals with slicker ponytails than I can manage. Lol

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I wore a high bun to dinner the other night and I noticed that 4 other women had the same hairstyle.

And I will be wearing one to the family fish fry this weekend. No hot hair on my neck/back in this heat!! Imma try to get a nice pic.

I've definitely noticed the trend, at least for black women. I started rocking them a few weeks ago once I figured out I could get all my hair on top of my head without having to fool with bands or ponytail holders. I take a panyhose leg and wrap it around and around and then tuck it under.

Here's a bun I did right out of the shower (it's probably 80% dry here)

And here's a bun I did on blowdried hair

I absolutely love this style, especially now that we're in triple digit heat. I've always been a fan of wearing my hair out and down, but this is a protective style I can get with.

What method do you use to blow dry your hair??

I am doing blow dried buns on my daughter, who also has thick hair, but I think that I am losing too much hair during the process. I use a brush or comb attachment.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I went on some errands today and noticed that a lot of the ladies and girls that I saw were wearing their hair in a high bun. Maybe because my hair was also in a high bun today made me notice it. It was kinda strange actually and I guess this is the latest fad for the summer hot weather.

High buns are one of my favorite summer hair styles.

A picture of when I was natural in a old braid-out high bun and the 2nd pic is of my edges...I think I started using AVG at this time

 

[LovelyBwonderful]

Since everyone is talking about bunning, this was the one and only bun I did last summer but I want to try it again. I had cowashed my hair and used eco styler gel and a scarf to hold down my edges.

Sometimes I feel my head is to big or odd shaped for buns, but it was definitely an easy style.

I've been wearing a high bun for 2 weeks. I didn't have time to properly condition and wash my hair last weekend so it's been ORS hair pudding with some coconut oil and a loose bun with good day pins all the time. I have a party tonight and IDK whether to wash/condition/rollerset or to go with the bun and wash tomorrow.

 

[SuchaLady]

How do you like the pudding danysedai? I've been looking for something that will smooth my hair. It's always so puffy

I love it. It's one of the few products that I use a lot and want to repurchase. Great for slicking edges leaving the hair soft and not hard and crunchy like some gels.

Thank you guys for starting this thread. I was so turned off by the thought of bunning all the time. I don't think low buns look good on really anybody. But when u introduced the high bun...oh my! They are fabulous and can be worn in so many ways. Not to mention they are a protective style that allows you to retain moisture all day. Here's my top bun today

Pretty lady, pretty bun!

 

[SimpleLiving]

I like it on top because I dont look bald from the front like I do with a low bun in the back. My hair isnt even long enough to have a decent bun or pony because I mini chopped it to the bottom of my neck...but if I put it up in a high puff and then take pieces and wrap them around in one direction until its a full circle, it gives me a great bun! Nice, quick go to style and the hubby even likes it.

Leslie_C, I wish you had taken a photo. Sounds tres cute.

The high bun is my life!!! It gives me breath! It keeps me cool in the summer and lets me sleep in on cold winter mornings. I use the high bun for work, work outs, lounging, laundromat trips, walking the dogs in my pjs... Girl with the right accessories I wear it to the club (when I used to go clubbing that is).

I'mma see if I can dig up some of my high bun pix. I should take some new ones
