Kiraela Diamond Offline Posts: 825 Southern Louisiana Gender:	A New Variation On Figure 8 Buns May 1^st, 2007 at 1:35pm Hello all, I was playing around with my hair yesterday and came up with the idea of double figure 8 buns. It's sort of like a cross between the flamenco and a figure 8.

This would work great for people with really thick hair that have a hard time getting all their hair to stay in a single bun or figure eight.

I'm glad you liked it! I think you could probably do this even before your hair was long enough to do a regular figure 8... splitting the hair into two buns made mine thin enough that I got in an extra wrap... It might even be easier with thinner hair ( I don't know... unfortunately that's never been one of my problems... Huh

)

And I think it would be very cute with rose clips, Sakina. If you ever decide to try it, I want pictures!

I think I need to find a new bun.. I've tried so many variations on the 8 now that it's almost rediculous. Next up, a column of infinities going up my head! well, maybe just 2. And to think, I was never much of one for trying new styles with my hair before this... braid, down, bun. braid, bun, down. braid, ponytail(!), bun, down. yeah.

I'm glad you ladies like it though!

Beautiful
