What you might need when creating a hairstyle with a hair donut:

• comb,
• 2 elastic bands (preferably matching hair color);

Usually, girls always have all this at hand. Now comb your hair well and choose a bun with a donut according to your mood or upcoming event.

Classic, smooth bun option

Despite the simplicity of the classic bun, this hairstyle is perfect for any life event.

So, how to make a bun with a donut:

1. Gather well-combed hair into a ponytail closer to the crown, remove the parting and the roosters. Secure the ponytail with a thin, tight elastic band.
2. Thread the tail through the inner hole of the donut.
3. Bend your head forward so that you can use your hands to distribute all the curls over the entire surface of the donut, the main thing is that it is not visible from the hair.
4. Secure the result by putting another thin elastic band on top of the donut (it’s good if it’s a thin silicone rubber band).
5. Hide the remaining ends under the bun and secure with bobby pins.
6. If there is too much hair left, carefully wrap it around the base of the bun.
7. Fix the result with hairpins or bobby pins, spray your hair with medium-hold hairspray or a special spray to add shine.

This convenient and practical option is suitable for everyday life. If you want to give your hair a retro style, tie beads, a satin ribbon, a bow or a thin chiffon scarf at the base of the bun. Believe me, such an image will not go unnoticed. For a special occasion, decorate the bun with hairpins with rhinestones or pearls.

Romantic hairstyle with a donut

To give the image a romantic, mysterious look, you can resort to some tricks when creating a bun. For example, make it from the side or from below, while the algorithm of actions will be the same as in the previous version, but initially the ponytail should be fixed where the bun is meant. Another way to make an original bun and surprise your lover and those around you is to combine it with a French braid.

1. Tilt your head down and start making a French braid, starting from the base of your hair and up to about the middle of your head.
2. Gather the remaining hair into a ponytail and secure with an elastic band.
3. Next, put a donut on your ponytail and form a classic bun.

It is better to braid the braid not tightly; an inverted braid or a spikelet of 4 strands is also suitable. In this case, it is not necessary to make the bun too smooth and sleek; carelessly protruding curls will make the image even dreamier. It would be appropriate to decorate the hairstyle with delicate flowers or a headband with an elastic band.

Hairstyles with a bagel for long hair

Owners of long hair find it easiest to experiment with their hair, creating new original hairstyles. We will offer you several options on how to make a bun using a bagel unique and stand out from the crowd.

The first option is to decorate the bun with many small braids. To do this, after you have made the ponytail, select several thin strands from it and braid them, securing them with inconspicuous small silicone rubber bands. Or, after you have already pulled out the tail into a donut, weave 6-8 small braids. In the future, the algorithm is not much different from creating a classic bun using a donut, the only thing is that when you distribute the hair over the surface of the “donut”, small braids should be evenly placed throughout the bun.

A more complex, but very stylish hairstyle variation is a bun of flagella. The initial steps are already familiar to you: we make a ponytail, put a foam base on it. Then we select a medium-thick strand from the tail and twist it into a flagellum to the very end. Then we wrap this rope around the donut so that its tip connects to the tail and comes out again into the hole. We supplement this tip with a new strand and do the same. Place the flagella one by one, close to each other, until the hair runs out and the entire bagel is covered with it. For this hairstyle you must have fairly long and thick hair. It will take a little more time to create a hairstyle with a donut and flagella, but believe me, you are guaranteed hundreds of admiring glances.

A few feminine tricks on how to make a perfect bun with a donut:

• choose a donut color that is as close as possible to your hair shade;
• if you have curls, but really want to make a classic bun, then first straighten your hair with an iron;
• for very long and thick hair, buns with a variety of braids are suitable, due to which you can remove excess volume;
• if the hair, on the contrary, is not voluminous, you can pre-comb some strands in the ponytail;
• don’t be afraid to experiment with the height of the beam, so you will understand which image is closest to you;
• decorate the bun with various accessories, with new hairpins, all kinds of hairpins and bows, the hairstyle will look different every day.

How to make a donut on your head is familiar to many, but not everyone knows that a bun can be so diverse. Imagine, experiment, and create your own unique, individual hairstyle. Just a little effort and 5-10 minutes of time and you will look amazing, impressive and well-groomed.

Make this world more beautiful!

The bun is a very popular hairstyle, especially among girls of student and high school age. Ease of wearing, ease of creation, attractive appearance are the main reasons for loving it. Anyone can figure out how to make a bun using a roller or donut if they study several instructions with step-by-step photos.

Hair donut

This hairdressing device is a circle that is very elastic, so it adjusts the diameter to the thickness of the base of the tail. This is a classic hair donut and the easiest to use. It can be made of soft foam material (sponge) or look like an elastic band covered with artificial strands. The latter is convenient because there is no need to hide it if you choose a tone-on-tone shade to match your native base.

There are several varieties of this hairdressing device:

• A round donut, the essence of which is described above. May be called “donut” for a similar appearance. Sold in different diameters and thicknesses.
• A flat oval roller used as an overlay to add volume.
• Twister is a bun clip made of flexible material in the shape of an elongated oval with a cut in the center.
• A long roller with a clasp - that is, a transformer that performs 2 functions. If you wrap it around the tail and secure it, you get the same donut.

How to make a hair donut with your own hands

The cost of a ready-made hairdressing device is low, but there are situations when the purchase cannot happen for a number of reasons. Professionals advise not to be upset: you can easily make both a bagel and a hair roller with your own hands in a few minutes. All you need is... a simple sock or leggings. It is advisable that they be terry, otherwise the hairpin will not gain volume. The action plan is as follows:

1. Cut off the lower part of the toe, right down to the heel - a pipe should remain.
2. Start rolling the bootleg until you get a thick elastic band for the bun. The homemade bagel is ready.
3. If you need a flat roller, wrap it with thread, turning it into an oval. Refer to the photo.

What you need for your hairstyle

This device creates volume, but is not used alone. It is impossible to create beautiful hairstyles with a donut without fixing elements - it will slide down your hair. Professionals advise using bobby pins for attaching to the head and hairpins if you need to pick up individual strands and work with the texture. Don’t forget about a set of combs: in addition to the classic massage comb, a thin multi-level comb with a knitting handle is recommended. For evening options, you can choose jewelry: ribbons, hairpins, etc. Styling products - as needed.

How to use a hair donut

Each of the options for such a hairdressing device needs to be worked in a special way. At the same time, the entire idea of ​​the hairstyle is taken into account, so there is no unanimous instruction on how to use a hair donut. Basic options:

• Most bun styles require you to make a ponytail first. A hair sponge is already placed on its base, which is then covered with strands.
• A flat roller is placed at the point of maximum volume or hair is wound onto it from the tip.
• In a twister, the strands are threaded through a slit in the center, wound to the base, and the ends are brought together.

How to make a bun using a donut

The course of action of a hairdresser who has conceived a classic bump or a careless bun varies depending on the thickness and length of the client’s hair. You can decide how to make a bun with a donut only after answering the question: what result should you get? Do you want a very voluminous, neat hairstyle, or do you need a quick, textured styling? Where will the beam be located?

Bun for long hair

If the ends of the strands touch the waist, even in the absence of obvious density, the bun turns out to be voluminous. For those who do not want the “second head” effect, hairdressers advise collecting only part of the hair, laying the rest around. For example, it’s worth looking at how to make a bun for long hair with a donut at the back of the head:

1. Using transverse lines, divide the entire mass of combed hair into 3 zones. Pull the bottom 2 into a ponytail.
2. Squeeze the bagel, that is, make a roll out of it. Place it on the very edge of the tail and secure it with a pair of hairpins.
3. Screw up and inward until you reach the base. Secure it like a classic cone or hemisphere using bobby pins.
4. Divide the upper free part of the hair vertically in half, cross it over the bun, and wrap it around its base. Remove ends.

Bun for medium hair

At this length (i.e. shoulder-length or just below), a donut is the best way to get the perfect bump without too much volume. A bun hairstyle for medium hair is created mainly by backcombing the inner strands and blunting the outer ones. The bagel can be used in 2 ways:

• Place on the base of the ponytail, lay the strands on top, and tuck in the ends. Suitable for shoulder length hair.
• Pass the tip of the ponytail through the hole of the elastic band, begin to twist it down and out, thereby wrapping the hair on the surface of the hairdressing device, reaching the very base.

Bun for short hair

The bagel perfectly compensates for the lack of length and volume, but can only be used if the strands touch the chin. It will not be possible to make a bun with a donut on short hair that is a boy's haircut (pixie, pageboy, etc.), since there is nothing to cover the hairdressing device with. The general scheme of work is similar to that given for medium length, but blunting is done to the very end of each strand. It is advisable to buy a bagel made from hair, not foam rubber, and be sure to match the tone.

Attention, TODAY only!

The bun is one of the most versatile and simple hairstyles that has won the love of modern girls: it is quickly created, suitable for any occasion and any appearance, but has some requirements for the initial data. In particular, hair length and thickness play a role. To avoid difficulties when working with short curls, it is important to know how to make a bun with a special donut, because this is a real salvation for owners of medium-length hair.

What nuances need to be taken into account? And is it possible to replace the hairdressing accessory with something?

QUICK NAVIGATION THROUGH THE ARTICLE

How to work with a hair donut correctly? This accessory is actually very multifunctional

: when used skillfully, it allows you to create not only the simplest bun, but also more complex hairdressing compositions. But before you start creating, you need to purchase the accessory itself - it is advisable to choose it to match your hair. In addition, today in professional stores you can find bagels with artificial strands

• , which is ideal for those with short hair, as it allows you to disguise the auxiliary element as much as possible.
• In order to create a hairstyle using a donut, you need to have bobby pins that will hold the accessory itself at a given point - hairpins will not cope with this. But to fix the curls, short hairpins are already used, which are bent in the last third at the tip.
• The bagel is an excellent solution for girls who do not have enough length or thickness to work only with their own hair, however, it is not universal: in order to do styling based on it, you need to have a cut line in the middle of the neck or lower. Otherwise, there is a risk that the bagel will not be completely closed.

Select the diameter depending on the thickness and length of your hair - very short, but thick enough, you need a small (6 cm) accessory. For curls that reach the chest, you can use any curl, including large ones (10 cm). The medium one is aimed at long hair. However, it is still important to take into account the idea - some styling requires a lot of volume, which cannot be achieved with a small donut. Also, be guided by the overall thickness of the base of the tail - if it is minimal, the large donut will constantly slide off. In hairdressing stores today, such an accessory is inexpensive, however, if you need it very urgently, and there is no time to wait or look, you can build it. To do this, you need an ordinary thick sock, and the longer its upper part, the better. Cut off the finger area, twist the resulting tube into a circle with a hollow core and use it in the same way as a bagel.

Classic bun: basic methods and techniques for short hair

This hairstyle is a little more complicated than the one that does not involve the use of bulky auxiliary accessories, but there is one important nuance - the need to mask both the donut itself and the ends of the strands.

If this is your first time working using this method, it is recommended to do the styling between the mirrors in order to keep track of everything that is happening behind. Or you can try your hand at a side bun, and only then, when your hands remember the movements, do it on the back of the head or crown.

• If the hair is not too long, it is recommended to carefully stretch it before starting the main work: firstly, after this it will lie much better on the accessory; secondly, it will add a few centimeters of length, which can be decisive.
• Comb the entire mass of hair with natural bristles, gather it into a ponytail with your hand, and make sure there are no stray strands. Tighten with an elastic band, iron again and spray loose curls with moisturizing spray. Make sure that the elastic band is thin - otherwise subsequent actions will be more difficult to carry out.
• Place a donut on the base of the ponytail, adjust its shape if necessary, and secure with bobby pins: aiming the tip inward, towards the base of the ponytail, pick up the lower area of ​​the donut (in contact with the head), and then, using a stitching motion, grab several parts of the hair. To ensure the best possible fixation, direct the bobby pin clearly perpendicular to the direction of the strands.
• The next step must be done very carefully: select strands from the ponytail one by one, smooth it with natural bristles and treat it with a small amount of varnish. As soon as it dries, lay the strand flat on the donut and tuck the tip under it, trying to smooth it out as best as possible. Using this technology, you need to lay out each strand, making sure that the hairstyle looks solid and neat.

This algorithm of work is great for hair, reaching the shoulders or cut a little higher. It is better to collect longer strands using an alternative method, which will be discussed below. Regarding a short haircut, it is worth noting a few more nuances.

• It is not advisable to do a high bun even with a bagel, since the lower layers will fall out, creating a sloppy look.
• If you don’t want to use styling products, but want a long-lasting hairstyle, before making a ponytail, braid it from the temples down and back in a French braid or twist these parts of the hair into strands, catching them in places with bobby pins.

Finally, we offer several detailed videos with interesting options for styling short hair in a bun.

Bun variations on medium length hair

It is best to make a bun with a donut on your hair longer than shoulder level using the algorithm given below. This technology allows you to make the most accurate styling and make it easier to hide the ends. In addition, noteworthy is the fact that the hairstyle does not require not a single stud or invisible. Don't believe me? Watch the video and try to repeat it yourself.

• Comb the entire mass of hair and, using an elastic band with hooks (it allows you to do this as carefully as possible), put it in a ponytail, which can be located in absolutely any area: long curls allow you to work without restrictions.
• Place a donut on the very tip of the ponytail, then begin to twist it outward and downward, turning the hair inside out along with it, shortening the free length. As you make new turns, do not forget to lightly redistribute the strands so that they completely cover the donut towards the end.

The key to the strength of this styling is the right accessory. If it has a small diameter, it will sit very firmly on the elastic band at the base of the ponytail, which means that when making rotations, it will securely fix the curls, and the hairstyle really does not require the presence of hairpins.

But styling products may be required if you work with an asymmetrical layered haircut.

Volume bun on long hair

On long hair, you can also make a bun using the technology proposed for short hair, but the scheme for masking the ends will look slightly different. This hairstyle is done on the top of the head and is called “babette”. To understand all its nuances, we recommend watching the video.

• Pull your hair into a high ponytail, secure with an elastic band and place a donut on it.
• Comb the loose mass, distribute it around the circumference; this must be done so that all the strands evenly cover the donut.
• Now put a thin elastic band on top so that it is at the base of the hairstyle and presses the curls to the donut. It is important to use a very tight and not stretched elastic band, otherwise it will not hold the hair in the desired position.
• Start pulling the strands lying on the roller to the side: this should be done carefully, only giving a little more volume and lightness, and not trying to make sloppy “cocks”. Walk around the entire circumference. If you can’t pull it out evenly with your hands, use a comb with a knitting tip.
• If the elastic is still not tight enough, secure it with a pair of bobby pins: don’t worry about their presence - the next step will cover both them and the elastic.
• At the base of the bun, exactly above the vertical line of the spine (if you mentally draw it up), take a small part of the hair that remains free and begin to twist it inward and upward, into a not too tight bundle. Moving clockwise, pick up new curls while continuing your weaving.
• Make a full circle, return to the starting point: you should still have a twisted tail in your hand, which should be hidden under the resulting tourniquet and secured with bobby pins. Now this must be done carefully so that the place of fixation is not visible.

This hairstyle can be decorated with a ribbon, which is also wrapped around the base of the bun, or a small hairpin.

If desired, instead of a tourniquet, you can braid a classic three-part braid, the tip of which is hidden according to a similar principle.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that any girl should be able to create a bun using a donut - it’s quick and convenient, this styling is always relevant and perfectly adapts to both a business and a formal look. And most importantly, you can always make the main accessory yourself from an ordinary sock.

Among the variety of types of hairstyles, the bun has won particular love among women. It is practical, convenient and versatile. This hairstyle is suitable for all occasions, including a beach party. There are various ways to create. Accessible simply and easily.

Tall girls are not recommended to have a voluminous and high ponytail. But it is ideal for short women, adding the desired centimeters to them. But a voluminous bun is not at all suitable for petite girls.

A donut is a device in the form of a soft ring made from different fabrics. It can be purchased in stores or made with your own hands. It makes the process of creating a hairstyle easier. It is recommended to buy or make it to match your hair. Let's look at how to make a hair bun.

• Ring made of woolen fabric. You can use an old wool scarf. You need to cut a small strip of approximately 15 cm from it. Its length is determined depending on how big the Gulka will be. The strip is folded in half and stitched. The result is a product in the form of a pipe, which must be rolled tightly. The wool strip can be knitted by hand or using a knitting machine.
• DIY hair donut made from a sock. To do this, you need to prepare scissors and 1 or 2 socks. After cutting off the tip of the sock, you just need to twist its edges tightly. The result will be the required ring. It is well suited for a small straight or oblique bun if the girl has short or medium hair. It is not very convenient to twist long strands onto such a ring. Therefore, it is recommended to use 2 socks, nesting them inside each other. In this case, it is desirable that the outer sock be made of dense fabric, and the inner sock made of loose material. As a result, the bagel will be voluminous and will hold its shape well due to the thick sock. It is very easy to use.
