I have been bunning continuously since October of last year. Every damn day although I do wear a wig on special occasions.
I've also been stretching so I don't yet know how much I will retain from that period.
I basically cowash everyday and protein as needed. I am planning to switch to weaves as the winter is wreaking havoc on my ends. I will be watching this thread though.

Buns are wonderful but if you ever need to change it up, which I do often, croc clips (Sally's) are wonderful protective styling tools for buns or french twists. These are my go to styles! I find myself french twisting more than bunning.
Cute chignon but I wouldn't use the pony holder he used and I would use good days hair pins instead of bobby pins.

I picked up this idea here in this thread a few yrs. back, tweeked it and have been goin hard ever since:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=497088
It makes so much sense, cuz back in the days of Jheri curls we were always stumped as to why our hairs seem to get sooooo long with a curl job. Well naturally, the constant moisture allowed us to retain every inkling of hair that grew out of our scalps. I literally saturate it, as you would an actual JC. So what I do is use a great Water/Oil based Jheri Curl activator or make my own Shay whip and saturate it every other day, as opposed to DC. right before the twist up. DC every 7 to 10 days. For me "Less" manipulation is "More" hair.
I wash in the up position, DC in the up position, airdry in the up position, Moisturize and start over.
I literally will not see my hair down almost the entire time Im doing this. So its a veryyyy nice surprise on relaxer day. (Usually)

my hair isn't the length i want to be to go full-time with bunning. when i get to MBL, or WL i will feel more comfortable. i have fine hair and i just want them to be more bigger, thicker. and fuller, without any assistance.

Twirl my hair around in a bun
Before getting to the very end of my hair
Clip croc clip on my hair
Tuck the tail of the hair under the croc clip
I know it's kind of hard to visualize. Does that help? Let me know.

Looks like I will be hanging out in bun land for a few months. I am really trying to surpass waist by my next relaxer in April. I had been wearing lacefront wigs but they have been taking a toll on my hairline.

jcdlox bunning back in 2009 got me from a broken/damaged SL to a healthy APL in about 7 months.
Bunning works!

Yes! But I remember being a hardcore bunner back then. I didn't even know how to do the cutsie buns at first. I would just twist, tuck, and pin.
My friend teased me about my little "ball" I wore everyday, but when she saw my growth, she tried bunning too!

Loving this thread! Bunning to WL!
I have to find something to secure my buns. :/ Elastics are too harsh, silk scrunchies work but they don't hold my hair as tight as Id like and I feel like am too bald for banana clips. I ordered the small and they were too small. I feel like the large will laugh at me.
