Not so much a bun, but a hairdo called a beehive.

Thank you.
So, in your picture, you don't have your hair heaped on top of your head.
Is it right?

Here we are, back on the hairdo topic again. :wink:
Jamie, when I think of a 'beehive' hairdo, there is much more teasing than piling or heaping that comes to my mind... unless it's the heaping of tons of hairspray onto the do. :mrgreen:
