Nifty bun, good video

Thanks for the tip on loosening before flipping--I haven't tried it yet, and I think it will help me in making this bun. I really like this style, thanks for making the video.

The video is very clear, it's easy to see what you're doing. It's great!

Somehow I still get it a bit wrong, my bun ends up looking rather like a Gibson tuck instead of what the flipped bun looks like. I don't mind though, I've never managed to do a real Gibson tuck, and I'm ready to settle for a look-a-like.

Try to unscrew the bun a little.

Thank you, Hypnotica. I've been unsuccessfully trying this bun for years. You do a couple things differently from how I was doing it (untwist the bun slightly to make it easier to flip, tuck the ends differently). I will try again and maybe get it right this time.

Yeah, I tuck the ends in front to get them in the back when flipped

Thanks so much for this video, Hypnotica, and for other videos you've posted lately. I have always had trouble with written instructions but I'm learning new do's easily with videos. Please, keep them coming.

Since I don't own a hair fork I secured my flipped bun with small claw clips. I put a couple to the outer coil, then noticed the inner coil flopped out so I had to put a couple more clips to keep the inner coil in place.

This is a great video! I can't wait to try this, because frankly I am totally updotarded and I have a really hard time learning new hairstyles because I can't see them done. Now I have very little excuse for my affliction...

Me likey! Great video and I just love your hair.

Another great instructional video, thanks Hypnotica! Could they be posted in the Articles section, do you think? They're very helpful.

That's a fantastic video and I really like the style as it looks a bit softer and less tight from the front than a lot of up styles do.

I also think the fork you chose and the way you positioned it really sets the style off well. I don't have a fork but managed to fix it with a pair of thin hairsticks in an X shape.

Very nice! Thank you! I'm going to try that style and wear it to work tomorrow!

Excellent video, thank you! I must keep working on my flipped bun skills.

And I must try to get hold of a hair fork!
