Have Fun with a Bun Week


I have decided to bun my hair all week long. Bunning is a low maintainance protective style. It is a protective style because all my relaxed ends are protected and tucked away from the elements.

Here is how I created the "four-buns into one-bun" style



I love this style because as long as the bun is kept looking neat, you don't really have to do much with it.  It is an awesome style for working out.



After I was done working out, I removed my headband, wet my hands and smoothen my hair with it; going from my edges to the base of the bun. I then applied some oil mix to my palm and smoothen my hair with that. I put some Nubian Heritage Grow and Strengthen Treatment Masque on my edges, and tied my cheetah print scarf around my head.

That's it!!

      Thanks. It's my most easiest protective style so far. I have seem people use Marley Hair to make buns when their hair is not long enough. I know there are videos on Youtube on how to do this. Do a search for "natural bun with marley hair".

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
