Step 2: Position the Donut Bun Maker

Take the donut bun maker and place it over the ponytail, as close to the base as possible. The opening of the donut should be facing down.

Step 3: Spread the Hair Over the Donut

Now, it's time to spread your hair over the donut bun maker. Start by taking small sections of hair from the front of the ponytail and wrapping them around the donut, tucking them under as you go. Continue wrapping hair around the donut until it's completely covered.

Step 4: Secure the Bun

Once your hair is completely wrapped around the donut, secure it by tucking any loose ends under the bun. You can use bobby pins to hold any particularly slippery sections in place.

Step 5: Shape the Bun (Optional)

If you want to add a little extra volume or shape to your donut bun, you can use your fingers to gently pull and shape the bun to your desired style. You can create a more classic shape by keeping the bun tightly packed, or a more messy and relaxed style by leaving some loose hairs around the edges.

Step 6: Set the Bun (Optional)

To finish off your donut bun, you can spray it with hairspray to help hold it in place. This is especially helpful if you have fine or slippery hair that tends to come loose easily.

Tips for Success

• Use a donut bun maker that is the right size for your hair. If the donut is too big, your bun will be loose and floppy. If it's too small, your hair will be packed too tightly and won't be able to spread out evenly.
• If you have thick or coarse hair, you may need to use multiple hair ties to secure your ponytail before placing the donut bun maker over it. This will help to keep your hair from slipping out of the donut.
• To create a more secure bun, you can bobby pin the loose ends of your hair under the bun instead of tucking them in. This is especially helpful if you plan on wearing your bun for an extended period of time or if you have particularly slippery hair.
• You can customize your donut bun to suit your personal style. For a more elegant look, keep the bun smooth and tight. For a more casual look, you can leave some loose hairs around the edges or create a messy bun by pulling out some sections of hair.

With a little practice, you'll be able to achieve a beautiful donut bun with your long hair in no time. This versatile hairstyle is perfect for any occasion, and can be customized to suit different face shapes and hair types. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to style your hair, give the donut bun a try!
