divachyk - I'll post a pic on December 31 and another one when I relax in January. I don't think I even posted a starting pic!
I'll have to find one from around the time I joined the challenge.Readyone - I'm not nervous at all about bunning this winter. I'm cowashing up to 4x a week and dc'ing 1x a week to keep my moisture levels up. Also keeping moisture/protein balance.
So I think I'm going to start bunning a few days a week, especially since heating vents are showing no mercy with that dry air..
I'm loving the hair combs and pins on this site, my inner junkie is tingling

ETA: This is a lazy bun (again). I love hair sticks.
How on earth do you get your buns so perfect?!

Hello Ladies!!
I hang my head in shame because I abandoned my own challenge....*hangs head in shame* I got so burnt out on hair that I snapped under the pressure/responsibility and did the unthinkable. I BC'd!!! As you can see in my siggy I cut my *almost* WL hair up to Ear Length. I feel pretty stupid now because I miss my hair. LOL! I've got just enough hair now for a puny bun.
Anywho. I just wanted to congratulate all the ladies in here who have stuck with the challenge. Since it's almost over I will start a reveal thread at the end of the month so everyone can update on their progress. I've gotta go back through and add any names of those who joined after I defected. Keep up the good work ladies!!

Before and After @curlycrocheter is gorgeous. Were you transitioning? Why the BC? I know you said you snapped but just inquiring.
pre_medicalrulz - a hair net over the bun makes it look flawless even when it's not!
Purchase them from Sally's for ~$1 for two in a pack. Thank you for the compliment.

Hiya Ladies - I have covered my hair with a beanie for almost a week while vacationing in Vegas. It was so easy and lovely. Just tuck my hair with a good days hair pin. Put a satin bonnet on. Then the beanie on top of that. Done! I have so many colors that I can keep it fresh with a different color with each outfit. I will be using my beanies on our next destination later this week - Orlando.
ETA: I won't return to bunning until I return to work. I love lazy hair.
@divachyk I got one of the clips below from http://www.franceluxe.com in the mail earlier this week and I love it already, it's very comfortable, makes me look forward to bunning more. Their clips are a bit pricey but after looking for alternatives on Ebay and Amazon I didn't find many choices for high quality french twist combs.
Now I'm spying their side combs

Readyone - I do not sleep in my buns that I wear throughout the day but I baggy bun nightly though -- see LHCF blog for pictorial. My daily buns are pulled taunt and my baggy buns are not. I will occasionally wear a banana clip bun to bed. I reserve this for nights when I wash my hair and air dry and am desiring straight roots. Wearing a bun to bed tugs on the hair ever so slight that it helps it finish drying straighter. I usually put my hair up in the bun when about 95% dry. I don't do this often to prevent breakage from nightly tossing/turning.
Raspberry - I like cheap candy. You candy is pricey but pretty. Pics plz
I haven't checked in as regularly as I should but I'm still bunning 7 days a week. I should try to vary them because I basically twist, wrap and secure with a hair stick.
I don't sleep in the same bun from the day -- I take it down, M&S, put it in a loose bun, then wrap in silk cover.

Hola Ladies,
I was doing great until last week Saturday. I have been wearing my hair down since then. BUT I plan to "bun" for the rest of 2011.....starting on Monday.

I've been bunning consistently until last week when I got braids. I'll be joining the 2012 group. HHJ ladies.
Checking in ... I've been bunning consistently. It's my go-to style, too. Unlike divachyk who has gorgeous buns, I just M&S, brush up, twist and stick a hair stick in it. Twisting the hair before I bun it helps keep SSK at bay and also I can tuck the sealed ends beneath the 'log.'
I'm up for a reveal although I wont see much change from my current siggy (Nov 26) to Dec 31.
For winter, I'm M&S'ing heavily -- wet the ends, then get heavy handed with shea/EVCO/JBCO/WGO mix and brush it into my ends. Just applying it with my hands wasn't getting all the ends. This new method really minimizes breakage.

I don't see one yet. I might not be the best to host a challenge, but I'll start a thread if no one else does.

@MrsIQ and @sunnieb - hope you don't mind me sharing this but I have participated in the Hide Your Hair Challenge several times. That challenge is geared toward protective styling, thus bunning falls into that category. I personally feel that we should all move our participation there because that thread is far more active with posting, styles and suggestions. I gained a lot from that thread. I feel that many of you that are tired of bunning but are still interested in protective styling can gain a lot of styling ideas from that thread. I'll be moving my participation back to the HYH challenge in 2012. Hope to see you there. @Ms_CoCo37 is the host of that challenge.
