The donut—a small foam ring in various sizes and colors—is a go-to tool for professional hairstylists and quick updos. Use it intact or unrolled like a sausage for wrapping hair. For a simple, messy classic bun with excellent hold (no pre-curling or hairspray required), gather your hair into a mid-length ponytail. Slide the donut onto the base like a scrunchie, wrap your hair around it, then secure with a second elastic and clips. Your bun is set and secure.
Donuts are perfect for adding dramatic volume to any hairstyle. For a high-volume crown effect, part your hair into two sections at the top of your head as if creating bangs. Gather the back into a ponytail. Position the unrolled donut on the scalp part line, then layer hair sections over it section by section for instant curve. Wrap the front hair into the ponytail bun, fold the donut closed, and achieve a stunning rock attitude. Match it with our handy makeover app for the perfect daily look.
The chignon enhances hair texture—start with a light hairspray mist over the lengths. Create a very high ponytail, place the donut at the ends, and gently wrap the hair around it gradually toward the ponytail base. This technique delivers a sleek, upturned, ultra-tight diva bun with irresistible polish.
