🌸 Step-by-Step: How to Make a Donut Bun
Step 1: Tie Up a Ponytail
Start by brushing your hair smooth and tying it into a high, mid, or low ponytail-depending on where you want your bun to sit. Use a strong elastic to keep it secure.
Step 2: Place the Donut at the End
Grab your hair donut and slip the end of your ponytail through the hole, sliding it all the way to the ends of your hair. Hold the ends tightly together.
Step 3: Roll the Hair Around the Donut
Begin rolling the donut down toward the base of your ponytail, wrapping your hair around it as you go. Make sure the hair spreads evenly around the donut to cover it completely.
Step 4: Wrap the Rest of the Hair
As you roll, tuck any stray ends in and keep the hair tight and neat. Once you reach the base, your hair should fully cover the donut, forming a perfect, rounded bun.
Step 5: Fix the Hair Bun with Pins
Secure the bun in place using bobby pins around the base. Add as many as needed to hold it firmly, especially if your hair is thick or layered.
Step 6: Finish
Gently smooth flyaways with your fingers or a bit of styling gel. If you want a sleek look, use hairspray. For a soft romantic vibe, let a few face-framing strands fall naturally.
💡 Styling Tip:
Add a floral hairpin, pearl clip, or decorative comb to instantly glam up your donut bun. It's perfect for weddings, date nights, or just when you want to feel extra pretty!
