Stylish and Easy Hair Bun Donut
1. Create a high ponytail.
Before you create your style, you’ll want to start with clean and conditioned hair. Make sure your hair is at least 90% dry. Then pull hair up into a high and tight ponytail. The crown of your head is the ideal area for this hairstyle. Secure hair in place with a hair tie.
2. Slide donut bun onto your hair.
Slide donut over your ponytail, making sure it sits in place right over the hair tie.
3. Let the bun sit at your hair.
Bun donut should sit on top of your hair tie as shown in the image above.
4. Split hair into two sections.
Separate the middle of your ponytail into two sections. This will make the bun process easier. During this step, you can your brush hair to remove any tangles.
5. Wrap hair around.
Take the free ends from each section and wrap the hair around the bun donut, making sure it’s fully covered—gotta’ hide your secret weapon!
6. Secure with hairpins.
Tuck in the ends of your hair to hide them, then secure your bun in place with hairpins.
7. Finish with some hairspray.
Finish off your stylish bun by giving it a bit of hold and to calm flyaways with some hairspray, like TREsemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray.
