1-2-3 Simple Steps For Bunning Your Hair…

Since my hair is now long enough to bun without the use of a scrunchie, I have taken full advantage of it. Afterall its less tension in one spot. You can secured it anywhere on your head with the help of 1 bobbi pin or clip.

Hair & Life Update…

I have been missing in action y’all and it was not intentional.  Just wanted to update you quickly on what has been going on with me since there hasn't been much activity going on this blog.

What happened To My Hair Lately…

I haven’t been experimenting with different hair styles lately, since my goal for this relaxer stretch is to keep my ends hidden and protected with the occasional “cheat day” lol. I have been keeping up with my weekly washdays and treatments.

Wash Days I’ve Missed…

I wore my hair straight for two weeks after relaxing it. Honestly I was enjoying my straight hair so much that the thought of not washing my hair for the third week was a possibility. Until I started to see pimples popping up in my face, then I knew my scalp needed to be cleansed to avoid a massive breakout.

What Happened To My Hair Lately…

I haven’t been doing anything special with my hair for the last couple of weeks but I have been keeping up with my weekly wash-days and treatments.  Due to time constraints, I haven’t been able to wear my hair out which may be beneficial to me in the long run right now.

I love buns

Wash Day Post Relaxer…

I haven’t washed my hair in two weeks and my scalp was really feeling disgusted last week since its used to weekly washes.  I’ll admit I did miss washing my hair but time was against me last weekend.

My Washday Products

[1]   Prepooed with Coconut Oil on my scalp and on the length of my hair for 20mins with heat

[2]   Shampooed with ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo twice to make sure my scalp was thoroughly

       cleaned after applying product to my hair for 2 weeks. Followed up with CON Moisture &

       Shine Shampoo to add back some moisture to my hair.

[3]   Applied Aphogee 2 mins reconstructor to my ends for 2mins and rinsed.

[4]   Deep Conditioned with my Queen Helene Cholesterol mixture for 30mins and rinsed

[5]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 1hour to absorb the excess water.

[6]   Applied my leave-in conditioners of Silk Elements Color Care, my moisturizing cocktail

       and sealed with coconut oil.

I really wanted to try styling my hair different this week but laziness got the better half of me and I ended up air drying my hair.

 [7]   The following day I applied Jamaican Black Castor Oil on my scalp, moisturized with 

         Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter and sealed with coconut oil.

Bunning as my protective style

I’ll be bunning all week long and I just realized how much texture was left at the top of my hair. Its abit too much but I’ll rally on till my next relaxer day and fix it then, instead of doing a corrective relaxer. This wash day was easy breezy and i'm loving bunning without filler.

How I've Been Wearing My Hair Lately…

During the last couple of weeks, towards ending my relaxer stretch, I tend to wear hair styles that require minimum manipulation and my ends protected.  I avoid using a comb during the week but moisturizing and sealing my entire head twice a week. Don’t panic, I usually moisturize and seal the outskirt of my hair daily. Three days later my hair on the  inside is still moisturized but I still moisturize all of my strands to ensure it doesn't dry out and become brittle.  There is no need to moisturize and seal entire my hair daily.  My deep conditioner usually does a great job with it's moisturizing properties.

It shouldn't come to no surprise that buns are on my list. I usually use a scrunchie around my hair twice before bunning. Once I’m finished I don’t even feel the scrunchie and my hair is still secured. I secure my buns with bobbi pins.

Wash Day: Buns And More Buns…

My plan for this wash day is exactly how Kim from Fancy Flair Lady wash day went. I haven’t tried roller setting since I started my healthy hair journey and was all hyped to do one with a saran wrap, so my hair ends up straight. My weekend was free and I went into super woman mode by cleaning, washing, while doing my hair. By the time I was ready to rinse my deep conditioner out I was totally drained and ended up air drying my hair.

Strong Protein Wash Day…

Let me first apologize from disappearing for so long. I was on vacation for two weeks and when I got back I got sick. You really don’t know how good you feel till you’re sick. I’m just glad to be back to 100% and I’m trying to catch up in the blogger sphere.  If you follow me on Instagram you've have seen some of what I did during my vacation. That post will go up soon.

Throughout my vacation, my shedding was just ridiculous and I knew only two things could help, either a protein treatment or to start back tea rinses. Let’s dive into today’s wash day:

My protective style was bunning for this week

Technique Thursday | Basics of Bunning...

It’s no secret that I opt to do buns first before any other protective style especially for work.  They are so neat and classy. They can be worn on almost all angles of your head. You can have a side bun, middle bun, high bun, low bun and the list goes on with how creative you can get. Feel free to add a side twist or braid to add some character to your face.

If you haven’t seen it yet check out how I do my buns below:

All of my buns aren’t always neat but they don’t have to be perfect. You will be surprise how well a style might turn out when its alil messy.
