BUNS FOR LIFE!!

Still madly in love with buns. Best non time consuming protective style ever. Hands down.

I find that sock buns and faux buns are the best for me because they dont feel too heavy on my head even when i'm using extensions. Unlike my latest box braid bun which is GORGEOUS but in all seriousness isn't ideal for a long day in college as I found out today.... LOL

I got lots of compliments on it and don't get me wrong..the bun was pretty awesome but it left me with a pretty awful headache and by the end of the day, I'd never been so relieved to take down the bun. So...i'm gonna try to think of ways to get around this because I really do love the style and braids are a great protective style...however, for now, I think I will wear my braids in other comfortable styles (:

PROTECTIVE STYLE: Box Braids

Just a quick post on my latest protective style. These are called box braids (or single braids) and these particular set are lower waist length. (longest I've ever had). These took me 4 hours and 45 minutes. I used 'X-pressions' Ultra braids in color 1, color 2 and color 30. I mixed the color 1 and 2 so I only ended up using about half of each pack. and only a little bit of color 30 (brown braids) as I only wanted a little bit of colour. I LOVE these braids and its been a while since I've had them in thanks to my new found love of Crochet braids which I kept doing because they were much easier and took less time. I did these box braids because I just felt like a change. I plan to keep them in for about 6 weeks.
