The Donut Bun

June 6, 2013

You know the saying ‘if it seems too good to be true, it probably is’? There are some hairstyles that are so simple that it’s almost hard to believe. The hairstyle in todays post is so simple and easy to master that it’s a little hard to believe! But even the hardcore skeptics can’t deny how chic and timeless the bun is (and following this method- easy too!). Follow the steps below to try out the sleek ‘donut’ bun!

Steps 1-3 – Gather hair in a tight ponytail at the top of your head. The higher the bun, the more dramatic the look. Be sure to make sure all of your hair is pulled tight off of your face (this will give you the sleek look).

Steps 4 & 5 – Take your ‘donut’ and loop your pony tail through it so it sits securely at the base of your ponytail.

Step 6 – Slightly tease your hair to give it some volume.

Step 7 & 8 – Lay your hair over the donut (it will look sort of like a hair fountain!). Then, wrap it around the donut, in whichever direction you choose, until all ends of your hair and wrapped and tucked underneath.

Step 9 – Secure ends of hair with bobby pins!

There you have it! Quick, simple and oh so chic! The donut bun creates a bold shape that is sure to grab attention. Not to mention, this hairstyle is not only bad hair day proof, it’s also easy enough to do when you’re running late!
