No Excuse for Messy Buns - Four Buns That Take Less Than Three Minutes

[@TheKnowingSmile]

It always amuses me to see the look on folk's faces when they see how little time long hair really takes. They simply won't believe that longhairs have lovely hair because of all the time consuming things we DON"T inflict on our hair. I also like how Longhairs use/need fewer hair pins to hold our do's then those with shorter hair.

[@Silverbleedy]

This! Also the lesser pins is true. I have very thin hair, and even then I needed three pins just to keep it up back when I had shoulder/APL length. Now I am near BSL and I am good with just one pin. It's getting easier and easier the longer it gets o_o I'm so happy I made the choice to grow my hair

[@whippetgirl123]

I've fallen asleep with a pen in my nautilus before and woken up with accidental pillowcase art. xD

[@maggiepie8810]

Well, Torrin. You uncovered my secret. My true reason for having long hair is being lazy.

[@torrinpaige]

Julia Lebel It is mine as well. Lol. Oh sure, I love being able to fix in all sorts of crazy ways when I want to - but mostly? I keep it long because I'm lazy and it's so easy to deal with. ;o)

[@magdalene74]

torrinpaige hahaha, right there with ya sisters... when people ask me how i got my hair so long and pretty.. i give them a bland look and say "Benign neglect" The ones that get that puzzled half smile i might elaborate a little, the ones that laugh outright, i cultivate as friends ;) LOL.

[@TheSleepyowlet]

Summer Nobyn - "Benign neglect" - that made me laugh, because I usually say something very similar to people who ask me - "just stay away from people with scissors for a while and treat your ends" I haven't even had a trim for a decade - my ends are healthy (most anyway which is what counts), and the thin point they taper into is easier to hide than the shaving brush that people with cut ends have going on. And a lot of the time hairdressers will straight out lie to you about the state of your hair because they want your money. Stay away from them, stay away from hair products with silicone, find a silicone free leave in for your ends (Shea butter based ones are good), and you'll be fine.

[@madamesophia2004]

Your videos are very inspirational to me esp because my hair is down to my tail bone. I'm bedridden disabled so normally I keep my mop braided but sometimes I will do a bun or French braid. I used to get a good laugh at the women I worked with back in the days before illness when my hair was to the middle of my back and I heard oh how do you find time to care for that? It must take you hours. My busy life won't let me have long hair. It's all I can do to find time to wash, blow dry, and curl before work. OMG REALLY! I love my no fuss long hair. No blow drying except on winters coldest days maybe. I just let it air dry and it waves on its own. I won't do complicated styles so it's 5 minutes or less for styling and the compliments keep coming and I'm 45! I've tons of gray. It's funny what people will say and do sometimes. Hope I didn't ramble too much. Please forgive me if I did. I've a brain tumor. Thanks:)

[@torrinpaige]

Christine Strauss No need to ever apologize for a ramble - you do watch me, right? I am the queen of babbling. :o) I'm glad to hear that you've been able to keep your hair long. I will always contend that longer hair is easier to take care of than shorter hair. I've had both - I much prefer the long. :o)

[@fksongbird28]

You crack me up! I've never been able to do a nautilus and I am at hip...but today with this vid, I tried it with my left hand and it sorta worked! I'm a righty, my brain is confused..LOL

[@357Lobster]

"But I cut up my smaller one... *shifty eyes* ... for purposes..."

[@dorothythorpe6183]

Love this. Come back to re-watch every year. I need the peptalk!

[@tiffanyphares5807]

I loved all of these! My buns do end up looking messy but that is due to my crazy hair texture and curls more than the style of bun I do. That rope braided one at the end was beautiful!

[@mrs.hermit3581]

I know this video is old, but I learn so much from your tutorials and wanted to say thanks! To use a different hairstyle instead of the same thing everyday makes me smile. Thanks also for your hair tools pins etc recommendations.

[@etm567]

double pointed knitting needles are the best. pencils and chopsticks won't go through my buns at all.

[@mrs.hermit3581]

My husband made some u pins for me out of dpn's, they are essential! I also use those nice Amish pins.

[@ithila6712]

I just found you totally by accident and I Love You! I have long long hair and have had zero help from anyone on how to take care of it. My hair loss and breakage have been horrible. After watching three of your tutorials now I know why and how to stop further damage. Thank You dear lady for your brilliant videos. P.S. My profile pic is several years old.

[@torrinpaige]

+Ithila Then I am super happy that you found me! You may feel a little overwhelmed as there are a lot of videos up, so if you ever need to know something, just ask - if there IS a vid, I'll send you a quick link to it so you don't have to search, and if there's not, then I'll just try to answer the best I can. :o) Welcome aboard, Ithila!

[@npriva8845]

YOU ARE MY LIVE-SAVER! I'll have to admit, I just have the nerves to deal with my hair (that's why it grew so long... ) Now I can wear a bun every day and it even looks fancy! Thank you very very much!!!!!

[@torrinpaige]

+Nathalie Chetelat (nchete) Yay! I'm so tickled that you now have options. The whole reason I started this channel was to give folks options so they wouldn't rage cut their hair when they couldn't do anything with it. Long hair is awesome. You can either get it up super fast, like here, or take some time and really do a fabulous, crazy hairstyle if you choose. The possibilities are endless!

[@npriva8845]

+torrinpaige you don't want to know how I've worn it up to now for 90% of the time.... I was doing some sort of low ponytail, but doing a loop and doing a second loop on top on it. Done in 5 seconds and the hair is out of the way for the whole day 😅. Time to change!

[@mleung25]

So nice to see you again, Torrin! Hope all is well. I can't remember the last time I did a messy bun. Personally I'd never had much trouble with the take down, but that's probably due to the slippery-ness of my hair - pins & barrettes have a tendency to slide right out. Still, it's wonderful to have a real demonstration on how little time it takes to put long hair up. My mom's been after me to cut my hair every time she sees me, convinced it takes so much work, so much time, blah, blah, blah & I just keep telling her it doesn't. I wash my hair 2x a week, don't use all that much conditioner or shampoo & am generally in & out of the shower in 5 minutes. If it's longer, it's because I love showers & am enjoying the water. :)

[@vulgarshudder]

I used to do the half pulled through pony tail thing when I was at like....APL, but past that forget it! A cinnabun secured with a beak clip was my go to until waist when I got bored and started looking at YT vids for ideas. The whole boho soft fluffy waves with pulled apart braids everywhere looks all very nice in a photoshoot for a 17 year old but actually doing something in real life, give me up and neat any day!

[@TheAssameth]

Lady, I love you to bits right now... My hair is hip lenght and I threaten to cut them 3+ times a day when they get EVERYWHERE. That first bun is a lifesaver.

[@torrinpaige]

It's the one I use most often as well. So fast and easy. Also look for my Simple Wrap. Very similar, but slightly different and just as fast.

[@easterneuropeaninmexico3554]

Because of this channel I was able to grow very long and thick hair and keep it thick as well during postpartum. Great content always!

[@lizmartin1930]

This made me laugh more than it should... And gave me some great hair inspo! Thank you!

[@0olga]

Thank you, Torrin! You rock my socks. This video clearly shows that very long hair ain't a hassle at all.

[@Delioncourt82]

I love your personality!! Your right, once your hair gets too long the messy bun is impossible! My hair is down to my butt

[@snowwhitebeautyful]

same as mine and I can still make a nice messy bun

[@divyan2586]

Have you ever realized how when they say messy and effortless bun, they actually take extra time??? They're fussing over it, pulling out strands and all that! I think buns like the ones you did here are effortless in the true sense of the word!! I hate when they use words like "effortless or casual" I hate the word "boho" too! Hair is intrinsically meant to be worn neatly, don't you think? A lot of people spend more time to make it look messy! WHY!

[@torrinpaige]

DIVYA NAIDU Divya, we are kindred spirits. That extra messy look drives me bonkers. I like some of the soft braids - where they fluff and fatten them up - but the shredded, rough looking ones kill me. I do like a soft updo, but I think they are using terms like casual, effortless, and boho in place of messy, undone, and unkempt. There is a way to do soft and easy - but a rat's nest is not the way to do it. Lol.

[@justinehorton2527]

DIVYA NAIDU The "messy" look bothers me so much! I don't have the longest hair, yet, and it's really curly and it takes me 2 minutes to do a neat bun because I have layers that I'm growing out. I'm finally a little past my armpit when pulled straight.

[@taritangeo4948]

I guess since most people have these thinned out, short to middle haircuts, there's just not enought hair to make nice neat bun since theres too little hair and layers keep trying to escape the bun so they try to spice up their tiny buns any way they can.

[@ealvara07]

Wow your hair is gorgeous!

[@JensUniqueNibblesandMore]

Perfect timing! August in AZ, I can't deal with my hair touching my neck any more. It's bun season! Thanks for quick and easy ideas - I succeeded with 3/4 on my first try!

[@moranalilith]

Wonderful! I learnt soo much from this video! I was seriously considering shortening my waist length hair because I didn't know how to style it. Thank you!

[@torrinpaige]

moranalilith Please feel free to visit my archives - waist length should give you enough hair to do almost every single hairstyle I have up!

[@Skjonnhar]

Oh my god, I want you to know that I laughed at this one so hard, and thats a good thing! You are amazing and so funny. Thanks for all the video's and tutorials you are sharing!

[@litebriteeyes]

Love this video! I keep cutting my hair when it gets to waist length, not because it takes any longer to style, but because the weight and tangles get to me. You have given me some great ideas. It's the pulling on the scalp, how I hate that! And messy buns are the worst for that, I can't stand it after a few seconds that way.

[@YaneMarieSleppy]

*New Year's Resolution for LongHairs* Ladies, "Messy Buns" are _so_ 2014. Be kind to your neighbors this year. Use pins, clips, or sticks; doesn't matter. Tidy it up. It doesn't take forever.

[@youin42]

I love the pink!!

[@LottieSue]

You are adorable! I love your videos!

[@Emmajen]

These are great! :) I tried a messy bun the other day, and it nearly resulted in tears hahaha. My hair is past waist length now, and so I fear that the days of the messy bun have come and gone for me! On to bigger and better things! :) Good thing I have you and Siobhan to look to for fantastic hairstyles for long hair! :D

[@kirasaucedo7006]

Yea! Your back!!! My girls and I missed you.

[@DoreenBellDotan]

Thanks for this video, Heather. I love the elaborate dos, but in reality this is what I'm going for on an everyday basis. This is just the time frame I'm willing to give to getting my hair up and these dos also are minimum damage (except the rope braid if your hair is very fragile).

[@PNWBabe]

I am working on my hair getting longer, but have been having problems keeping my hair out of the way while I am sleeping. I LOVE that rope braid! totally going to give that a shot from now on! Going to keep working on growing my hair, and worry not. I do not even know how to do a messy bun! haha!

[@AbKhaos]

My favorite bun by far is the disc bun! (thanks to your video :D) It's super quick, holds like a charm and never pulls my scalp (the lazy wrap and many others do that to my sensitive scalp). But honestly as long as it's not a super complicated bun, once you know how to make it any bun will take WAY less than 3min!

[@torrinpaige]

AbyssalKhaos True. Jen is at the very beginning of her long hair updo journey, though, and the nautilus gave her trouble, so I figured maybe we shouldn't try the disc bun yet. ;o) Hopefully, once she starts feeling comfortable with the basics - we can convince her to try more things. Lol.

[@AbKhaos]

I find the disc bun way easier than the nautilus though ! I never truly mastered the latest, but maybe it's just me ;)

[@angiecanary]

I subscribe to a LOT of eclectic KZbin peeps, and you are by far my favorite. Thank you so much for your dedication... can't wait to hear your views on your itaste vaporizer!

[@torrinpaige]

Angela Canary Oh, Angela - I love it! I haven't smoked an actual cigarette since June 10th! I'm vape only, all the way. It is fabulous, so much cheaper than cigs, and I love being able to change up my flavors. My local vape store has excellent vapes. I'm currently switching it up between Blueberry, Cherry Pomegranate, and Hazelnut Caramel Macchiatto.

[@angiecanary]

That's awesome - congratulations! I'm a sucker for chocolate flavors, and I'm down to the lowest mg nicotine available - it's a good feeling!

[@sleepycalico]

Thank you so much! I figured I couldn't do a proper looking bun no matter how much time I had. Just call me Jenn. lol But these are great and I can actually do them. So happy.

[@tjackson611]

yay ! so glad to see you today ! thanks for sharing these i so needed a few easy fast ones myself ! loved them all :)

[@jpf77302]

I know this video was posted five years ago, but I’ve gone from completely chemo bald (as seen in picture I need to update) to now waist length hair and I have NEVER been able to create a “messy bun.” I just don’t get it. Hair sticks? I’m great with them! I can do magic with hair pins - bobby pins, big Amish U-shaped pins, giant chignon pins and all manner of hair forks - but “messy buns” made with just a hair tie or two continue to elude me. I’m so happy somebody else feels the same way about them.

[@torrinpaige]

Congratulations on your victory over cancer! Huzzah! And yeah, messy buns continue to elude me. I can make fluffy crazy looking buns, but hair tie buns? Hair tie buns put my teeth on edge...I still hate them. All I think about is the damage and I just can't. Lol.

[@littlewing5022]

oh my gosh thank you! I love buns but I struggle so much with them!

[@redhed515]

I've got to buy some of those clips. Never thought to use them that way.

[@ebnWillowMoon]

There's one quick bun I love that you forgot. The Equilibrium Bun. Basically a Cinnamon Bun but you fold your hair in half first. I have very slippery hair and once it got past mid-back the cinnamon bun wasn't working that well anymore unless I used a mass of pins, which defeated the purpose of a quick bun. The equilibrium bun solved all that. Because you fold your hair in half first (so your ends are touching the base of your ponytail) there is a loop at the end and when you are done and it's easy to run a stick through that loop then under the bun and out the other side. One of the few that still works with one stick with my tailbone length hair! I'll pass along this video to my mom who is having the same problem as your friend. Great vid as always!

[@torrinpaige]

WillowMoon I've never done the equilibrium bun - but of course, my hair isn't silky or slippery at all. I know it's hard for my silky haired sisters sometimes (my hubby has silky hair, so I know how frustrating it can be to make it do things, lol). I'm glad you found a bun that works! I will keep that one in my mental Rolodex for when one of my fine haired girls asks me about a new bun that'll work for her.

[@wrightkaren5914]

Very well done.

[@MsHobgobblin]

i'm so thnakfull for your tuts. although I havent watched for long time. but this tut rules!. I also hate messy buns cause they do exactely this to my hair - a big mess. Your alternatives are great! thnak you for this!

[@kaylaadams5208]

Looovvee these...just subscribed and I have been obsessed with your videos all day....but I can't do like ANY of your tutorials because my hair is not quite as long and thick as yours. I am at about 3/4 the way down my back, I always do the messy bun but I find it really tangles up my hair and it starts to hurt after a while but sometimes you want it up and you don't want to take forever doing it....well I am currently rocking your version of the "sock bun" and I love it!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it but it totally worked and looks good! I can't wait to try the other buns out! ....I promise I will say bye bye to the messy buns :)

[@beckyvowles3934]

My hair is pretty much down to my knees and most of the time it is kept up in buns held with a selection of chopsticks, I have loads of these now! If I'm doing it normally it takes about 30 seconds to put up, and if I'm Braiding it first it takes no more than 5 mins. People are always asking me if a) I do my own hair because it looks so impressively complex and b) if a chopstick or two can seriously be all that holds my hair in place. Always makes me giggle.

[@magdalene74]

haha, a bar had proof the other night... i wore my hair down in deference to the cold weather, but the bar was HOT.. i asked my friendly neighborhood bartender (who happens to be a friend lol) if i could borrow a pen till the night was over, twist, twist, twirl, poke, and thirty seconds later i had a cinnamon bun rockin. At the end of the night, i pulled out the pen, shook my head, and it all came tumbling down, right back below my butt, heads turned lemme tell ya LOL. With yours down to your knees, i'll bet you would get more than a few heads turning, probably quite a few gasps to boot :). Amazing how a little hair can shock and awe people isnt it? LOL.

[@gossamerhall]

Thanks Torin, Love the rope braid

[@carolyncole4326]

Surprised not to see the lazy wrap. That's my go to. Either that or the gibraltar bun.

[@carolyncole4326]

Or the one stick, center point held, braided bun,

[@torrinpaige]

Carolyn Cole Well, I am a notoriously slow braider, and I don't know where my Jen's braiding skills are at. As far as the lazy wrap - I have the nautilus and as far as I could tell, it's pretty much the same bun.

[@carolyncole4326]

torrinpaige I didn't mean anything by it. When I first learned these buns (mostly from your vids) I had the LWB confused as the nautilus for a while. And by no means are you a slow braider. In the mornings I probably put in a few more minutes than 3 knowing that if I start with a braid, I don't have to do anything to it until the next morning. All for easy.

[@torrinpaige]

Carolyn Cole Actually I recently discovered the LWB and nautilus are different - super similar, but the start is a bit different. My friend, Emma, said the same thing and she sent me a vid so I could see. Lol. All this time I thought it was the same bun with two different names. I still nautilus, mostly because that's the one I learned first. Had I learned the LWB first, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the nautilus. Ha!

[@stabitha_8320]

I've been missing your videos! Good to see you!

[@magdalene74]

Not a single one over two minutes! Good job, i think you proved your point very well LOL.

[@smad1391]

Glad to see you again! Love the vids.

[@namiburali5611]

I tend to bun my hair as soon as I wake up. keep my stick with my glasses. lol sit up, pony base, wrap around wrist, choke off the loop, stick through to secure it, and... I don't have to worry bout it. takes me like.. 20 seconds? looks good too. so yeah, she right, no excuses for messy buns XD

[@sarabeth3676]

I’m not lazy, but I love the messy buns.

[@miabuelitatocaelpian]

Thank you, this was so useful!

[@KayaJane]

Fabulous! Thank you! Do you colour your hair? If you do please tell which color do you use :)

[@torrinpaige]

Well the pink and purple streaks are Beyond the Zone Color Jamz in Bubble Head Pink and Purple Passion. But as they were almost totally faded when I made this, I'm guessing you mean my blonde? That's natural.

[@MissLauraSquared]

You are awesome!

[@amandar8007]

I gave up with sock buns because getting my layers rolled up into it never looked right. I tried this method and it worked pretty well on the first try! Staying up without any pins and you can even see the bottom third of my hair, which is dip dyed. My green gets covered up with the usual rolled style bun. Great vid

[@torrinpaige]

Amanda R I can't do the rolled style - I have too much hair and it always looks messy when I'm done - never neat. I think the rolled version works well for my girls with fine, silky hair - but if you're anywhere near thick or coarse like I am - it just flat out won't work right.

[@superawesomejunkmonk]

Thanks for doing to video! Extremely helpful

[@MissLauraSquared]

I miss your videos! Haven't had any new ones in awhile.

[@kenzienomc]

I think you could add the disc bun to this list - I'm at waist length but I can't get a nautilus to work ever (I think my hair is just too slippery) but man, I love the disc bun.

[@sweetlorikeet]

I do an English braid nautilus bun variation every day I work. It takes me about two and a half minutes, looks super neat, stays up ALL day. (For me that bun is actually pinless, I just do it and it stays put. My record is 11 hours.)

[@FromRVtoCrafts]

U tell her, Torrin!!! Lol.

[@Lunarility]

Hi torrin! I have been watching your videos for a few years now and I love them! You've taught me so many styles!:P have you got a video about the pink in your hair because it looks lovely! I would love to know what you do/use and if its permanent. Thank you so much torrin for your videos :)

[@tweetthang96]

Still enjoying the hair tutorials despite having chopped my hair off back to shoulder length despite it having been (finally!) at mid back. I seriously regret not trying the Nautilus though. It's so easy. I used to do cinnamon roll buns all the time because I could secure with a second hair tie and be okay, but they got old and stale (ba dum chss) after awhile. But this video made me miss my hair. *sigh* oh well.

[@Cherokeegummybear]

My hair is to the middle of my back and layered and I have tried to do the nautilis bun so many times I just can't figure it out 😔

[@heatherlynncarter4285]

I've got hair that's to the bottom of my butt and I do a variation of a messy bun where it's basically three rolls.folds (and the ends get tucked in). I only need one hair tie for it and it's my go-to. Sometimes I will pin the top roll or the sides down for an even fuller look. I need to get some of those clips.

[@heartquaked]

I love your videos

[@sisi429]

so helpful! Thank you!

[@theladymelissa]

you're hilarious! you always brighten my day with your funny vids :)

[@peggyberge6392]

Torrin, I REALLY want to know some more heatless curling methods.. my hair is loong and they don't take well. Do you think rag curls are the best? any alternatives? thanks for the bun advice too :D

[@vitaR86]

Lmao, just replace the name Jen with Stephanie, and you pretty much had me talking with my bestie a few months ago. Lol, I mean come on, a nautilus bun? That's the easiest one!

[@mochaberrily]

BAM! :-D You definitely knocked these out! LOVE this video, thank you.

[@mathilda6763]

My favebun is the lwb...noother bun that gets the hair out of myface. I'm thinking right now about cutting me a fringe, since I look like mis Rottenmeier with my hair up...so strict. I fear that my hair is too thin to lose the hair in the front part though...and I'm a bit scared of scissors cutting my hair.*lol* You're similiar in hair colour and a like fringe you have. Do you mind to tell me what ponytail circumference you've got? It looks much thicker than mine.

[@torrinpaige]

Awesomebird Sama My pony circ is 5 inches. My bangs are cut thin and wispy so as not to make too much of a drastic difference to my hair thickness. Many girls who go for a fringe cut a really thick section - I don't. Mine is really just the very front bits and not much of them. I like them this way because I can leave them down if I want them down, but since they're so thin, I can pull them back into a hairstyle if I want. Options!

[@mathilda6763]

Thank you! That helped me. C:

[@marija]

My hair is waist length but not long enough to do the first one successfully, do I just have a shorter body? Additionally my hair is half as thick as yours, so my cinnamon one won't fall out with just one clip.

[@torrinpaige]

marija Instead of using your whole hand on the initial grab like I do - use two fingers instead. My husband's is around BSLish and I can do his with two fingers, so that should get it up. I have to have a big loop since I have so much left over, but as you're more on the fine side, you won't need so much. Try two fingers instead. ;o)

[@heidibeckedorf5743]

Torrin where did you get those little clips you used for the Cinna bun?

[@torrinpaige]

WalMart. Lol.

[@kailavanderwielen3588]

i can't use clips or bobby pins b/c of workplace restrictions (i work in a dairy), so my go-to style is a nautilus bun with a hair tie to hold it. ordered hair pins b/c those aren't explicitly restricted in the employee handbook, and i need to get rid of the stupid hair tie.

[@katc5345]

hi there, on comments on another video your channel was recommended. my hair is to my hips, just slightly past it (the tips). its thick and because I have neck problems, this compounds it, but it really weighs on me. apparently your channel has hairstyles that help with this? I find I have to braid it and kind of set it on my shoulder so the weight is not on my neck. I can't put it up in a bun without it really really hurting my head!! :( its too heavy

[@torrinpaige]

Hiya! Hmmm. Divide and conquer! I honestly am not sure what to do in regards to your neck pain, but if you would like to try getting your hair up, I find dividing it into two sections and going from there helps disperse the weight. Examples here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYvZiaV7hMt9atk Also? Look for The Madora, Pretty Shepherd's Farmgirl Style, and Practical Hair Taping. All of those are extremely comfortable styles because they disperse the weight of your hair around your whole head instead of concentrating it into one spot. Good luck!

[@Delioncourt82]

Also do you have any other social media?

[@torrinpaige]

I'm torrinpaige everywhere - instagram, twitter, tumblr, snapchat...it makes me easier to find. :o)

[@dragonmaemomma8514]

when I did the sinabun one I used my hair scrunchy instead of the hair clips,

[@Jessicanana89]

I can't for the life of me figure out the nautilus. It feels very similar to a lazy wrap bun though when doing it, but they don't look the same at all. Oh well, practice I guess. Any update on your friend? She master the long hair lifestyle?

[@torrinpaige]

She trimmed a bit off - but she has totally mastered bunnage. She wears neat and tidy buns to work now and I am ever so pleased.

[@SouthernGothicYT]

The closest thing I can do for an intentionally messy bun is a nautilus. However, I did once see a lost video of Stevie Nicks in the 70's flip her head over, loosely braid her hair and put it in a bun and that was a beautiful look.

[@peepslostsheep]

It's been a while, hoping you're alright Torrin. Much love sent your way.

[@torrinpaige]

peepslostsheep I know it has - but do not fear. We are going to get back in the full swing of things with a regular schedule once more very soon. I have a few RL things that have been going on in this past year and my channel has suffered for it. Please do not feel abandoned - sometimes real life gets in the way of things and makes it difficult for us to indulge in our hobbies and the fun stuff in life.

[@peepslostsheep]

torrinpaige I don't feel abandoned at all, and I don't feel like the channel has suffered. I'm just worried about YOU. Your real life is always more important than youtube, and I feel like you wouldn't be 'skimping' on videos, unless something was happening. I know you've gone through a lot this past year, I hope things get better soon.

[@torrinpaige]

peepslostsheep Thank you! I am sending you as many hugs as I can because that last message was a big ol' hug from you to me. I needed it. I love my lovelies.

[@peepslostsheep]

torrinpaige =D We love you too Torrin, we just want you to be ok!

[@rebecaw.489]

torrinpaige i completely agree with peepslostsheep that we don't feel abandoned or that your channel has suffered for real life getting in the way of KZbin. I was getting worried myself that something may have happened to you or another loved one. Take all the time you need for whatever things you're going through, just know that your lovelies love you and we worry about you! :)

[@Rebecca-sc2di]

I've never been able to get the messy bun to work either. It just never looks cute. And I always rip out hair when I try to take the ponytail holder out.

[@boobinajuicer69]

Worried about you lady! Its been too long! Just hope everything is okay your end and that you're well and happy. Xxx

[@tjackson611]

[@TabiiLeDuc]

Guiltily watching this with a messy bun

[@TabiiLeDuc]

and almost waist length curly frizzy hair...so VERY messy

[@Venefica82]

The cinnabun hate me...HATE me, I can never get one to stay, I have used pins, sticks and works, it is not staying unless I nail it down with about 12 pins. I will try and see if little clasps can do the trick though so thank you for that idea. :)

[@torrinpaige]

Venefica82 If you add them while you're winding it, then wind more hair around the clips, then clip down the outside, it should stay. 8- 10 clips should do it.

[@Venefica82]

torrinpaige Thank you, I will try that. :D

[@MrsDogLover]

Try the goody spin pin! I use two and it works amazingly!

[@Venefica82]

MrsDogLover Thank you I will have to try them.

[@anqeiicdemise]

Venefica82 Yes, yes, Venifica. Those thigns are amazing. Somehow this reminded me I got a pair in my jewelry box. Hear that, Slayer? YOU'RE GETTING CINNABUNNED TOMARRA! :D

[@texasgidget1]

Just a suggestion from me regarding the nautilus bun, I found it easier to braid mine (no ponytail, just braid it) and then put it up in the nautilus. It would stay up when I did that when I couldn't get it to stay up without. Now, my go to style when I don't know what to do with my hair is a nautilus. I don't think I could do a messy bun if I wanted to. BTW, I am inching my way closer to knee length. It hits my thigh right now. :-)

[@torrinpaige]

Tracey Walton I've got a tutorial on the braided nautilus. I thought it would help out my fine haired gals when a regular nautilus was slipping for them. Braided things always seem to have a better time of not slipping. And you're almost at knee?!? Awesome!

[@nicolerenee7025]

It astounds me that anybody could think short hair is easier to take care of! It doesn’t get any simpler than this.

[@sayalibonde]

you are awesome

[@anqeiicdemise]

HEHEHE.. THANK YOU! :D I've been getting lazy lately.

[@torrinpaige]

anqeiicdemise There is nothing wrong with lazy. I am the queen of lazy - especially when it is hot and miserable outside and you just want it up and out of the way. Lol.

[@anqeiicdemise]

I've just been doing pony tails and Slayer's starting to develop a little attitude. ^-^

[@citizenshoegazer]

Yay! I hate it how most hair channels go "just do your favourite messy bun for this part" and I'm sitting there thinking there's no way I can get my fine, hip length (PS. Yay again) hair into a messy bun. Also, have you got any tips for buns for wet hair? Nautilus always gets too tight and I'm sick of the cinnabun ☺ x

[@torrinpaige]

citizenshoegazer I rarely bun wet hair - as mine NEVER dries if it's bunned. JJJ's pretzel bun maybe? Or the Celtic knot? It would give you a little variety. Oh wait! I do spidermom's bun that stays if I want it out of the way and plan on blowing it dry later.

[@citizenshoegazer]

torrinpaige Thanks, will have to give that a try!

[@SaarEskimo]

haha I love this video, but I have about hair until right above my behind and messy buns work/look pretty good for me. I do however have days that they look horrible or it won't work or it hurts my head lol

[@torrinpaige]

SaarEskimo I am at 50 inches of hair - messy buns do not work for me anymore. Not that I ever deployed them regularly - I have never liked them - they just don't feel stable and the take down is pure evil.

[@AnimaSola3o4]

torrinpaige the take down of messy buns really is evil. I love the look and can pull it off with my butt length (no idea inches lol) hair. But it does usually result in some awesome tangles.

[@elizabetherne556]

This is an old video I know. I have waist length very fine thin hair. My reasoning for a messy bun is that with the other type of buns my bun looks tiny and weird on my head. Messy buns do work and are quick if you know your hair type and know how to deal with length. There are many variations of it. I don't spend much more than a couple of minutes doing a messy bun in the morning. But I also don't fiddle with it, it's supposed to be messy not perfect.

[@tiffetha]

i like the messy bun, but my hair is way too long for it now so it just looks...weird and floppy :(

[@kr1s3hh]

Didnt even think of that....toddlers...lol clearly I don't have kids :p

[@AnimaSola3o4]

Heather. You know I love you. But you could use a math refresher lol. Maybe you should have used the stopwatch feature instead lol.

[@torrinpaige]

AnimaSola3o4 Upon reflection, I should have used the stopwatch feature - but it still works. They are all under three minutes. And math? I detest math. There is a very good reason I majored in English - only one math class. Math is hard for me - I hate numbers. Lol.

[@AnimaSola3o4]

torrinpaige hehe. I'm just giving you guff. I loathe math too. And avoid it at all costs.

[@magdalene74]

torrinpaige right there with ya on the math heh. WHY do you have to have a math class AT ALL to major in ENGLISH??? That should be just the glory of the word!! I figured my math classes were because i was majoring in business.. i had to, i had a business to run... but my dream would have been to major in English :)

[@torrinpaige]

Ahh, but a degree in English, unless you plan on teaching, is the most useless degree in the world. Le sigh. I'm still proud of myself for getting it, but yeah, I probably should have went to a trade school instead and actually learned a marketable skill. Lol.

[@magdalene74]

torrinpaige nah.. i think philosophy knocks it out of first place in the unmarketable skills department lol. Skill with the english language is never wasted ;) You SHOULD be proud.

[@jenniechan950]

I work in a kitchen an wear a hat.. I use the braided bun with a metal hair fork that I bought or one my chopsticks

[@o_m525treble7]

It takes me two seconds to put my hair up in a messy bun, but my hair is short so

[@magdalene74]

the sock bun was only a little less than ONE minute and a half ;) Love ya beautiful!

[@Alessiovectron]

Yeah good

[@MReaganDavis]

Hey, Girl. I was thinking about you today and miss seeing you on here. I hope things are okay with you and your family. I know you have had to deal with some sickness and things to do with your family in the past and imagine that is what is happening now. Take care of yourself and remember that your viewers love you!
