The Technique

After misting my hair with water and applying my leave in; I parted my hair into an upside down "V" so that the apex of the V was at the center of my head (the crown), and the two legs of the "V" were by my ears.   I probably made that sound way more complicated than it should've.  Okay, it looked like this / \.

At each leg of the upside down "V", I put in two jumbo flat twists.

I gathered the the four twists and bundled them all up with the back section of hair into a huge, low side bun.

Finally, I used a bit of gel on my edges and my side burns, and I fluffed the bun for volume.
That's it!  Not too shabby, right?

  3. Yay!! Loads of posts to catch up on!

    I just posted a similar style... or at least it is scheduled to post at some point in the next few hours (it was one of my 30 days styles). Lets just say your bun would eat my bun for breakfast and still be hungry!
