What you need: Brush, two hair elastics, bobby pins(the thicker your hair, the more you’ll need), a sock or hair donut
If you don’t have a hair donut then take an old, long, clean sock and cut off the foot part. Roll the sock all the way so it looks like a donut.
- Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic.
- Pull your hair through the sock or hair donut so it is covering your elastic.
- Spread your hair out evenly around the donut so your hair completely covers the donut.
- Place a hair elastic over the hair and donut so the hair can’t move.
- Split the hair into two sections on either side of the bun.
- Braid one section of your hair and bobby pin it down around the base of your bun in the back.
- Braid the other section and bobby pin it down around the base of your bun in the front and you’re done!
