And thank you guys all for the supportive words, from the bottom of my heart. It truly meant a lot and I teared up reading them. Thanks for letting me have a safe place to release my thoughts.
I didnt get to say it earlier but lots of love to you and your H. Thats so brave of you and so supportive of DH. I hope that things keep moving forward for you guys
I love you guys! I was literally thinking this morning that I kind of wish I could see everyone's version of a messy bun because I never know if I'm doing it right. Then I come in here and you've all posted pics!

This is so stupid, but I feel like when I do messy buns it doesn't look as good, like my hair is more... pokey, and other people's hair is more... loopy? Clearly I've thought about this, and it also doesn't stop me from doing it.

Once, to take a pregnancy test, I peed into my hand.
I only had the kind with the little dropper. I sat on the toilet and realized I had no cup, and the pee was coming quickly. I didn't want to wait until the next time I peed.

carolyngrace that's pretty hilarious and a great confession!
ETA: I feel like one time I only had a dropper kind also and no cup, so I tried to "suck" some into the dropper from the stream, I don't think it worked out well.
carolyngrace how did you even get the pee to stay in your hand for long enough to put the stick in there? I would not be so lucky. I would just end up with pee everywhere.
I can't make mine the Pinterest way. I do mine like a ponytail, but don't pull it all the way through on the last loop. Then I pull it a little wider at the top so my hair covers the binder. Apologies for the poor photo quality, my camera thinks I am as white as my walls.

I know exactly what you mean. Mine is way more pokey than loopy. I blame it on the long layers.

I have super thick, heavy hair. I usually keep it shoulder length or shorter bc ponytails start to give me headaches. I've been growing it out so I can messy bun all summer. I think the length/layers impacts what shape you get.

mirage86 what's the pinterest way? I feel like I do mine the same as you?
Most of the ways I've seen on Pinterest involve more twisting of hair or multiple hair ties. Every time I've tried one of those it ends up looking terrible and really tight.

hannahl201477, Oh HELLLLL no. And I'm not the jealous type either. But SO not cool.
And in a similar vein of veggiemo, I was driving home fantasizing about a neighbor (I've confessed about this crush before) and then I drove right by his wife. Ugh! I feel awful about it, but I can't shake my crush!

I haven't tried a messy bun in a while...this thread gives me hope that maybe I could get them to work. Generally it's a pony tail or two braids. When I work it's always flat ironed or curled.
I had a Mrs Robinson moment last week when I took the kids to the beach and we sat by these 5 cute college age boys. I just had this moment where I fantasized about being that age again, having a carefree boyfriend and how easy life was at that age with no real responsibilities.

I only wash my hair once a week, and I used to do it more often, but I just started extending the time between washes. You have to deal with greasier hair for those extra days where you don't wash it, but it will even out eventually. All the more reason to wear messy buns!
I should mention though, I have pretty thick, coarse hair, so I can probably go longer than someone with fine hair.
