Bun Styling Tool


Over the past couple of months I've taken to wearing my hair up more often, as having long hair in the summer heat drives me crazy! A bun is one of my favourite styles as its so versatile; it can be formal or casual, neat or messy, big or small. However, I sometimes struggle to create a bun as my hair is so long and has to be wrapped around itself too many times to look good, or if I do manage it my hair is so heavy that it falls out within a few hours.

Recently I came across these:

Sold as 'Magic Foam Sponge Hair Styling Donut Bun Maker' - catchy - they cost me £1.30 for all four from ebay (I can't find the exact seller) so I couldn't resist giving them a try!

They're so easy to use! All you do is put your hair in a pony tail and pull it through the hole in the middle. Each one has wire in it so you can place the bun shaper about 3/4 of the way down your ponytail, and squeeze it tight to hold your hair in place. Then you wrap the 1/4 of hair left at the bottom of your pony tail around the bun shaper, and then roll it up the rest of your hair to your head. Bend the shaper into a circular bun shape and spread you hair around it to make the bun. Squeeze the bun to make the wire tight so that the bun will stay in and you're finished!

This was really hard to explain so if you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, I watched THIS VIDEO when trying to figure out how to use mine!

When using these, it's so quick and easy to create a bun that stays in all day. The bun can be made neat by keeping you hair tight all the way through or can also be messy by holding you hair more loosely or by pulling pieces of hair out of the bun at the end. You can also choose if you want a small bun by using one of the shorter tools or a bigger bun with one of the longer tools.

For me these are such an easy way to create a bun and I think everyone should definitely give them a try!
