Bun holders are often made of resin, bone wool, or ceramic materials. If you search for bun holders on Amazon, you’ll find many results with different bun holders available. However, not all are good quality. The best ones are made from materials that won’t damage hair or absorb scalp oils and will last numerous uses without losing shape.
The following summarizes the factors to consider before buying a resin bun holder:
1) Material
Resin is one of the most common types of material used in making bun holders. It is very durable but can get too hot on sunny days or during use if exposed to direct sunlight outside. Ceramic buns are also very common because they don’t get too hot even in direct sunlight and provide a very tight hold. However, they can break easily in the wash and require special cleaning procedures to avoid chipping and discoloration. Bone wool buns are affordable but do not offer enough grip for some hair types.
2) Number of Tabs/Loops
There are bun holders with one tab or loop while others have two, four, six, eight, 10, etc., depending on their intended use. One tab bun holders are best for smaller or medium-sized braids, while larger loops provide more grip for thick or coarse hair.
3) Design
Some bun holders will come with several tabs at different lengths, while others will only have adjustable loops of one size. If you usually do the same bun styles, it’s best to buy a single-loop bun holder so you can save money.
4) Length of Bun Holder
Standard bun holders are usually seven to 10 inches long, which is long enough for most hairstyles. However, longer-length bun holders are available if you have very thick hair or want lots of loops that can hold your hair together tightly.
5) Shape Design
The shape design of the bun holder also makes a difference in how well it holds hair. Holders with firm curves will grip better than those made from skinny materials since they do not stretch out easily. Overall, look for thick and firm material with secure fasteners for the tightest grip possible on thicker/coarser hair types.
In conclusion, when shopping for a new bun holder, it’s best to keep the following factors in mind: material, number of tabs/loops, design, length of bun holder, and shape design. After considering these factors carefully, you should make a purchase decision that will work well with your hair types.
