Japanese/Korean bun maker step-by-step tutorial

Finally the promised tutorial! Firstly I would like to apologise for it taking so long, and also the not-the-best quality photos. But anyway, let's start!

The bun maker you can buy one of these online easily. Taobao sells them very cheap. I think this one cost like 15 yuan or something, which is around 2-3 dollars.

Tie your hair into a tight high pony tail. Personally I think doughnut buns look best when they are neat and tidy, but you can make it as loose as you want just not so loose that the ponytail seems to hang down, because your bun will be unstable and might even unravel itself. Remember, your hair will be a lot heavier than usual, so don't tie it as loose as you would make your messy japanese/korean buns.

Gently pull at the sides of the bunmaker so that there is a hole for you to thread your ponytail in.

Thread the bun maker in at the top of your ponytail and close the hole the best you can. I should be albe to sit there without you holding it.

Holding the bun maker, pull your ponytail upwards with it. I'm holding onto the hair at the front because I want a neat bun. Stop pulling when you have about 15 cm of hair left at the end.

Follow the arrows. Flip the hair on th end onto hair at the front and roll in towards your hair band.Stop when the roll fo hair is touching your hair band, like in the next picture.

Now bend the bun maker around your hair band, so that it forms a ring around your head band, don't worry about your hair at this point. The ends of the bun maker would probably overlap, this is fine, but try to make the ring as tight around the hairband as possible, because this will make your bun more stable.

Now spread your hair from the roll to cover over the bun maker. This could be hard, just be patient and start pulling gently from the ends, moving your hair from the roll to uncovered parts of the bunmaker. Make sure you don't pull hair outwards, because that could make your bun really messy and loose, move only around the hair band. You can pin any messy bits with a bobby pin. Also this bun maker makes the bun very stable, not wobbly at all, but if you like, you can stick in a few bobby pins at the base to keep it even more stable.

AND We're DONE!!!!!
