4 Easy, Stylish Ways to Bun Your Transitioning Hair

I'm currently 10 1/2 months post relaxer. Woot! When I'm too lazy/tired to set my hair at night, or running short on time to do it in the morning, I don't want to sacrifice my transitioning hair to a boring bun. Here are 4 of my favorite ways to make a bun stylish in 10 minutes or less.

Henna!!

Oh my goodness!!! Hi!!! I have been super busy and I've also been without a computer for some time. Finally, I have the time...and the resource to post again!

I'm still doing straw sets, as you can tell from the birthday weekend photos. I've also been bunning a lot because of volleyball and out of sheer laziness to set my hair at night. Haha! It's just so easy to not set my hair at night and just wake up, co-wash, and throw it in a bun. I've been alternating the buns though from high on the crown of my head, to low at the nape of my neck, or low and to the side. I don't want my hair getting used to being in one spot and breaking from the hair ties.

I tried henna! It was a mess! I honestly didn't see much of a difference in the way my hair felt at all. I think though, that may be due to the fact that I was in a hurry and didn't leave it on long enough. I will try it again sometime and hope for better results. Here's a photo of the henna(I mixed it with conditioner for extra moisture and some lemon juice to make the red color pop up in my hair more than it normally would), garbage-bag protective vest I made for myself (Hey, you gotta improvise! haha!) a photo of my hair all henna-d up before rinsing, and an after shot of the results! There is no before shot because I figure you all have seen enough photos of my hair already! ;)

I also bought a bunch of new products! One is the Hello Hydration conditioner that everyone raves about. And I must say, I see more results from it than from the henna! I also bought the 3-minute miracle deep conditioner by Aussie and plan to use that on my hair with a shower cap for about an hour (even though it's supposed to work in just 3 minutes) and see what it does. I will definitely update you all on that!

I want to say hello to my new followers as I have acquired a couple more since I've been gone! Thanks for tagging along on my journey! Be sure to stop by and talk to me every now and then! =) That is all for now! More regular updates, since my computer is no longer out of commission. Have a wonderful weekend!

NBA Game Hair

The roommates, our boyfriends and I went to a Los Angeles Clippers game today. I'm not a fan, but we got really cheap tickets so we made a fun group outing out of it. I don't have any red clothing, so I opted for red accessories instead - including this new flower I bought that goes perfect with any kind of bun. This chunky, flat-twisted, low side bun is another one of my favorite transitioning styles because it's so EASY. With easiness comes convenience, for those days after a night that I just didn't feel like setting my hair. It's also a cute, polished look that I feel comfortable wearing anywhere.
