The Nautilus variation the other day gave me an idea: What if I used two coils for the outer part of the Nautilus bun?
This was surprisingly hard to create. Keeping two coils "out" and still trying to maintain the right tension was pretty difficult. I also thought that it would show with the two "outer" coils, but it really doesn't. Even if you know, you can't really tell.
I liked how flat the bun got, but it got some serious lopsidedness going on, which I disliked.
It also got noticeably less stable than a usual Nautilus bun, but that might be connected to how much harder I found it to keep the two "outer" coils free.

Luisa's Nautilus bun variation
Luisa commented this on my semi-failed Nautilus bun:
I have an idea: try coiling once or twice as nautilus and the rest of the length as a cinnamon bun. I did that once but only on extra greasy hair because it had grip. on freshly washed hair my houdini hair escapes any updo lol
I tried it and this is the result:
But what I do like, is that it didn't alter the Nautilus's awesome stability, and that it didn't get that weird lopsided effect I've been getting with Nautilus buns lately. I think this is a bun I can actually grow into and would benefit from longer hair... wow.
