Lauren Conrad rocking a HUGE bun! |
This may not be big news to many of you, but i have medium length hair that is fine, straight and silky smooth. Oh how I've wished for long, wavy, curly, or even coarse hair. The effortless beauty that girls with long, wavy hair can achieve when they throw their hair up in a bun has never been possible for me. Mine usually looks like a tiny, tiny, sad little excuse for a bun. Now that I've discovered how easy this was, there is no going back!
The tutorial I used for making a hair donut and doing this is found here
Tutorial for making a super big hair donut here
There seem to be several different techniques used with this things. Because my hair is short, I simply put it in a pony tail, placed the donut over it, then teased the hair and pinned it all in place (see step by step below).
