The Donut Bun

Ahh the Donut Bun.
So many celebrities rock this beautiful, easy updo.

Personally, I love messy buns because they are simple to do and make your hair look fuller.
The Donut Bun is also simple to do, but instead of giving you a messy look, it gives you a sleek and sophisticated updo.

I bought a chignon shaper (aka donut) from Sally's Beauty Supply a couple months ago and have been using it to create my donut bun.

Here is how you can recreate this look:

Step 1: Put your hair up in a pony tail. The higher you put your pony tail, the higher your bun will be.

Step 2: Slip the chignon shaper through your pony tail.  
Note! You can make your own chignon shaper with a big sock (use a colour that matches your hair colour) by cutting the end of it and rolling it up to the shape of a ‘donut’. 

Step 3: Cover the chignon shaper with your hair and secure it with an elastic. You now have the main feature complete.

Step 4: To hide the rest of your hair, start pinning strands with bobby pins around the bun. Voila! You're done!

Try it for yourself!
