Hair Bun Donut & Hair Bun Extension

Everyone has been putting their hair up into these cute buns. It really makes the look more formal and clean, as well as keeping the hair out of your face and great for keeping cool when the hot weather comes. I, unfortunately, don't have hair long enough to make into those cute buns, nor do I really want to grow my hair out that long to begin with. My hair is very wavy and tangled so having it long would just be a nightmare. Like all other problems, I just decided to buy the look. I bought two things to give me a super big and nice bun.

Hair Bun Donut
seller: dpcloth
price: $1.49 CAD + $1.29 CAD Shipping = $2.80 USD
color: black
size: L

Very minimal instructions. This tag is really as close as you can get to instructions. I guess it's left up to you to figure it out. That's really the only downside I see to this package. I guess you can look it up on youtube how to properly use it.

So this bun is huge! As you can see, I can barely grasp it. It seems very durable and made of a hard plastic so it can't be near anything hot (ex. irons, etc). I was really happy with how big it was. I was so excited to use it.

Hair Bun Extension

price: $1.99 CAD + $1.00 CAD (shipping) = $3.01 USD
color: Black (straight)

It was a small package. It was surrounded by this cardboard type paper so it would keep its circular shape. When taken out of the package, the bun was enclosed in a hair net so the hair doesn't go all crazy during delivery.

The hair is quite soft. It is synthetic but I think it is pretty good quality for synthetic. It isn't overly shiny. It has brown tones in it so I would say the color is more brown/black or natural black (color #1B) and not like my hair which is jet black (color #01). I was a little disappointed in that but I did sort of expect it because most synthetic hair is made to be natural black rather than jet black. The color difference is slight, but noticeable in harsh sunlight, flash, bright lights, and close up.

Put them both together...
The first problem I encountered was that the hair extension was too small for the bun donut (yes, that donut is that big). I couldn't quite attach it to my hair so I attached the little claws into the bun instead. The structure of the bun helps keep the claws in place so it doesn't move.The hair on the hair extension is long enough though that it can completely cover the donut so at least no parts of the donut is showing. The final result bun is so huge and I absolutely love it.

See, you don't need long hair to make those cute little sock buns. You can just buy it on ebay!
