One of the most elegant hair styles worn the world over is the bun, an easy up-do that instantly glams up any look for day or night. Over the years, this hair style has manifested itself into different variations for both long and short hair. Whether sleek or messy, one trick we all need to learn is how to easily make your own donut to insert into your ponytail for a perfect bun. This can be achieve by cutting the foot of a tube sock and rolling it into a donut then covering it with opaque pantyhose that closely matches your hair. You can also buy a ‘bun donut’ at the hair supply store for $2.
