My relationship with bunning has been a love/hate one in general. Right now I bun frequently but in a different style that's easier on my strands. Like some of the other commentators, I avoid pinning my ends directly--instead I use other parts of the bun and pin them down to cover the ends. Like you mentioned, leaving my hair in a bun for more than a couple of days is just asking for trouble. I'm glad you were able to pinpoint the causes of your breakage from bunning.

I don't knock bunning entirely but I follow a few simple guidelines, some of which I have learned from Caucasian bloggers/forums, and some through trial and error.<br />-Alternate location of bun. This is something that white people have long understood, but seems to be less known in our community. And while alternating location of the bun is important, for me it's only effective as long as the location changes after washing and not between wash days (it can be too much manipulation and lead to breakage if hair is not freshly washed if the location is drastically changed [i.e low bun to high bun]).<br />-Not leaving the bun in more 2-3 days. Even with efforts to M&S, you can't really get at the middle part if hair is left in a bun.<br />-Being careful with how ends are tucked. I never place an elastic on the most fragile part of my hair to keep my bun in tact. By the same token, I never use bobby pins either. I opt for hair pins, which give a looser hold.<br />-The takedown of the bun is the most critical step, and can be easily overlooked. This is especially true if bun has been in place more than 2 days. I find using a spray moisturizer to lightly mist the entire head, particularly the bunned section, letting it sit for a few minutes, then proceeding to gently take hair pins out, before gently unraveling the ends from the bun, is optimal. Keep in mind that the tucked ends may not have been touched by the spray and may be driest if hair has been in a bun for a couple days, so you want to be especially careful with how you handle the ends until you can be sure they are adequately moisturized. <br />-If I'm not particularly concerned with a sleek look, I will forgo elastics altogether and opt for a bun secured using only pins or clips. Alternatively, I will use a doughnut only and loosely tuck ends with no elastic.<br />-Lastly, alternating hairstyles is still key, because bunning day in day out even when you're careful can still be problematic. I will alternate with using jaw clips to secure hair up and off my clothes and shoulders.

I had the bun for about 5 days coz I didn't want my hands to have access to my hair. In that time I did M&S everyday but only on parts of my hair that were out. I noticed when I took the bun down that the parts that were not out were sooooo dry. So i was wondering if I should be taking down buns everyday to M&S. This is the first winter of my life.<br />Sorry for the epistle. Engeenoreply@blogger.com
