The reason why I’ve hated wearing a bun since I cut my hair is because my bun always looked so tiny and messy. I guess the short curls that couldn’t quite reach to get pinned up would frizz up throughout the day.

I was watching TiaShauntee’s Bun Tutorial and realized that she used a bun maker! ..well, she used a makeshift one out of a sock. That’s probably better because I’m sure it’s softer than this one. I love her YT videos because they’re short and to the point. No long talking.

I’ve had one of these for a very long time (from early in my relaxed hair days), but rarely used it. I used it when I graduated from nursing school so I can have a nice, full bun. It was a bit difficult to do with my relaxed hair because it was so thin.

Anyway, I tried it the other day and absolutely loved it! I’ve even had a bun this week thanks to the bun maker!

The weather was unseasonably warm this weekend. I was very tempted to try a wash & go. I wore my hair in a twistout on Saturday.

I neglected to twist it up Saturday night because I figured I wouldn’t really be going anywhere on Sunday (I was skipping church). Besides, my twists were really set, so I thought that if I did end up going out on Sunday, my twistout would still be set. Boy was I wrong!

On Sunday when it was time to get dressed and go, my hair said no, no, no! I tried to work with what was left of the twistout and it just wasn’t happening. I thought that this would be a GREAT opportunity for me to just do a wash & go so I could hurry up and leave the house. I did a quick co-wash and began applying products. I was rushed, so I didn’t think carefully about which products would make for the best wash & go and I just applied whatever was in reach. Needless to say, it wasn’t that great, but it wasn’t horrible either.

Ultimately, I just decided to go with a pony because I didn’t know what my hair would look like after it dried.

Better luck next time!

XOXO,
