While wet or dry? semi-wet/damp

What do you apply before you bun? Depends on the season. Spring/summer I use carefree curl gold, little mango butter, jojoba oil (or whatever I've got at the time). Winter/fall I use care free curl gold, sometimes mango butter, jojoba oil (or whatever I've got at the time) My hair dosen't always like mango butter in the winter.

How do you get it into a bun? I just gather it up and put it in a bun. I don't comb or brush but every 4 days. It took practice so the day that I wash/deep con is the day I decide if I'm going to have a part and where its going to be.

Tetbelle,
What do you mean by "scarf your bun." I answered "always" but that is because I use a silk scarf to hold to hair in place overnight until it is dry. Please explain!

 

[tetbelle]

Do you scarf your bun? I don't know what that means?

Sorry ladies if I wasn't clear, a few of you questioned this one:

Do you put a scarf on after you bun your hair to either go to sleep, lay it down flatter, or to help smooth edges etc...
