Dear CurlyNikki: Last year I did a “Hide Your Hair” challenge with Long Hair Care Forum, and I did this “double buns” style. Here’s a video of it:
Dear Koos: Your double buns are ridiculously chic! For the past few weeks I’ve been twisting out with the sole purpose of bunning. That way, if I happen to go into labor, my hair is already presentable. Mostly I’ve been wearing high messy buns, low side buns, and mid-height puffs. After trying Koos’ double side buns the other day, I’m completely hooked! It makes my single side bun look shameful. Adding a bun has dolled up my look and gives the illusion of fuller hair.
I follow the instructions from her blog—parting my hair (with my finger”> from ear to ear and securing each half into a bun with Goody Ouchless Bands (pulling the hair through twice and only halfway through the third time”>. I’ve only done messy buns, but look forward to trying neater ones—forming them better and securing with bobby pins.
At night, I take the buns down and secure my hair in a high loose bun or pony with a satin scrunchy. I apply shea butter to my edges and crown, and then apply a dime-sized amount of Aloe Vera Gel to my edges. I put on satin scarf, and it’s off to bed! In the morning, I take the high bun down, and re-style in the low double buns.
Here are my results:
