TRANSITION OVER! 11-22-14
I can't wait for my hair to grow so I can test this out!

I've always cut my hair very often. I always loved short hair. I cut 3-4 inches right before I joined LHCF in October.
I'm letting it grow now because I want to see if I can get to WL.

Trust me this works! Retention is unbelievable using this method and you will find that less is more. When I first found this site and started my hair journey, I jumped on every bandwagon and tried every growth aid. I didn't/don't need any of that stuff (except I do love Mega-tek). I have yet to experience a setback in the last 3 years since I started co-washing and bunning daily.

I agree on these methods. My last months of relaxing I was an avid follower of BABYGURL's bunning method. I had great retention of my length. Now that I'm 15 months into transition, cowashing is one of the greatest things. I'm able to easy comb with my shower comb or fingers with no or minimal hair loss. I look forward to bra length hair with shrinkage.

I've been cowashing and bunning and I must say this is a keeper. Before bunning and cowashing and I was using a growth aide, but it wasn't until I was cowashing and bunning that I actually noticed that I was gaining length and my hair is becoming so thick it is unbelievable. I'm trying to bun my way until APL in December.

I don't detangle everyday because I am 10 weeks post and it is a pain. I usually rinse then add conditioner or I just rinse without conditioner and put my hair back in a bun smoothing with my hands. It all depends on how much time I have to get ready before work. However, I deep condition weekly and detangle using my Denman brush and braid it in one braid or put in a bun. I wash only when I notice buildup or if I wear my hair straightened. HTH

Okay, so stupid question alert...how exactly do you bun?
Do you ladies use a band, then wrap the hair around it and pin? do you donut bun? do you braid the loose hair then pin?
I'm embracing my big forehead and want to start bunning almost everyday, and cowashing is great for working out and transitioning. I did it twice this week and got so many compliments, but I'm a bit confused how to protect the ends while bunned without getting them snaggled.

I would say this definitely helps you to get there quickly! Even if it's every 3 days or so, it seems to work.
If I don't detangle every single time, my hair will get knots and tangles and then I lose more hair. My hair likes being detangled (gently) every day.

I just take my hair and put it as if I'm gonna ponytail it but wrap it around instead and stick a pin in it.

So for the ladies that cowash and bun daily. You don't mind going to work EVERYDAY with a bun? I am sure you get alot of comments from coworkers etc. Not that it matters
When I was doing this for a bit, I never got any questions from anyone. I only got the questions the few times I wore my hair out.
I didn't have too much success bunning, though (even though I wanted to)....maybe when I come out of braids and my hair gets a little longer.

I co-wash every three days and yes my hair is much thicker and MUCH healthier! My hair was a HOT mess before I found this site!
I know what you mean.
I've learned a lot here about hair care. My hair was a disaster, that's how I found this site. I sought and found.

I find this to be true too. I retain a LOT more when I bun 24/7.

I do the same thing.....i only use heat 1 or two times out of a whole month when i want to wear my hair down. I co-wash 2 or 3 times a week but what has really helped me...i feel...is that i deep conditione every single week!! Never skip a beat on that!

Wet bunning is the truth. You retain sooo much length, it's not even funny! I went from APL to almost MBL in a few months, but my thyroid and hair started actin up. My hair doesn't like to be wet anymore, so I have to rollerset
Sure wish I could still wet bun, it's somethin serious. Everyone needs a wet bun in their life
