I've got a very long hair and love braiding, plaiting and making fun out of them so I decided to share some tips how to make one or another cute hairdo. This is my very first post in this category, so if you have any ideas or requests what should i do next, feel free to comment :)
Have you ever wondered how to get that sophisticated hair bun like celebrities have?
I have always thought that this hairdo is really hard to do and only could be done by the professionals in the hair salons. But trust me, I have found a simple way to get a very similar look and it is that easy that everyone could do that.
The most important thing you need is the doughnut bun shaper which looks like this:
They are in different shapes and colors so you could choose one similar to your hair color. I am sure that you can find it in every hair accessories shop or just buy it from eBay! It costs about $4. It is not that expensive but if you want to save some money and time, you can just spend 10 minutes and make one yourself.
Things you need:
1. A long warm sports sock.
2. One tight stocking.
3. Scissors.
Firstly, cut the front parts of the both socks so it would look something like this:
Now follow and do everything as shown in pictures below (you can use socks in your favorite colors):
And finally, you should get something like this and now the bun shaper is ready to use!
How to get a beautiful bun using the bun shaper:
(1)Now brush your hair and simply pull your hair into a ponytail and secure it with a scrunchy or an elastic band.
(2)Pull your hair through the center of your doughnut bun shaper.
(3) Spread your hair and wrap a bun shaper with them and then pull another scrunchy to firm your bun.
(4)Coil and tuck the remaining hair in circular fashion around the doughnut, pinning diagonally
with hairpins or long bobbypins.
You can be as creative as you like and add more hair accessories, flowers or anything you like. You can also make some plaits integrated into your bun.
Hope that it will be a helpful tutorial:)
Have a nice day,
