These buns haunted me on Pinterest for a long time.
They just seemed perfectly impossible to me.
I would always look at it and wonder...
how the heck they could do that.
This illusive, messy up-do
had been plaguing me in
a very harsh "first world pain" manner,
and I eventually wrote it off as a perk for thin hair.
Until one fateful day.
I walked past these funny things in a bowl,
picked one up and looked at it like it was a bizarre archeological find.
What is this?
What purpose does it serve?
Why would a factory agree to produce these?
And then the lightbulb went off...
and finally understood the physics
behind those perfect little do's.
Some may call it a sock bun-
but for those of you who have asked about mine,
it's a sponge donut.
Or something like that.
It's basically an implant for your hair.
I actually don't know what it's called.
But in all it's ghetto fabulousness...
they work like a charm!
I love it,
and it's super simple...
just make a high pony tail, pull it through the ring,
splay your hair around it... and tuck it under.
So easy, right?
I've been handing them out to my friends
and we love them...
and after such universal success...
I bought some for you!
I only could find the blonde color first,
and you couldn't tell at all, even though I'm a brunette...
my hair is thick and long so it covered it easily.

So if you hair is a dark blonde
or light brown... either one should work
unless you don't have a ton of hair.

Hadn't heard of these. Very cool. I don't think I'd have enough hair to cover, (insert sad face & wish for thick hair for the billionth time). My daughter has enough hair for both of us so she would probably love these. Hope your Christmas was awesome!
ReplyDeleteugh those buns. I've been lusting over them too. Unfortunately I have the thinnest hair known to mankind :(
ReplyDeleteAHH! i need to get my hands on one of these suckers. i love the big bun but my natural bun is a little flat.. SOLD! xo

ReplyDeleteWoohoo!! I just ordered one! Can't wait to try! I've had "bun-envy" for awhile too and wondered how people did it!! So excited!
ReplyDeleteMy ballet students use these all the time! Great find- nice buns!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I totally bought these a few months. It's somewhere in my coffee table drawer. I'm seriously hair-do impaired. I can't even a bun with these thingy ma-bobs. So, what I'm saying is…can you do a tute with these? :) Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out how to make a bun like that, thank you for the advice!

ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! I I love the look of that perfect bun. I just watched two different YouTube videos on this and want to try it out, even though my hair is already decently thick... thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to know where to buy these in london...

ReplyDeleteI wore that style for my wedding (10 years ago -eeeK!) and used the donut. So great but I am too much of a spaz to be able to recreate it on my own. There always seems to be some bit of donut sticking out no matter how much I poof up my hair. But I absolutely love the look.
