Military Donut Bun Tutorial

After being at Air Force Basic Military Training for about two weeks with short hair that would just not stay up in any kind of bun, I decided to try the "sock bun." The donut bun (as I call it), is quick, easy, and it works for almost any hair length that can be put up. So whether you're researching how best to wear your hair while at BMT or just wanting to try a new updo, you can see my full tutorial for the military version of the sock bun here: http://www.auniesauce.com/2014/10/the... Basic Steps: 1. Pull hair up into low ponytail (it has to be low enough to put your ABU cap on) 2. String ponytail through mesh donut, bringing donut all the way up to base of hair tie 3. Fan ponytail over mesh donut, making sure to evenly cover mesh with hair 4. Wrap second hair tie around mesh donut 5. Secure loose ends with bobby pins 6. (Optional) Pull & tug hair around mesh donut to create a fuller, more voluminous bun 7. Finish with a light (or heavy—if you're at BMT) mist of hairspray You can also braid or twist the loose ends before pinning them to give your bun a really chic, polished look. Unfortunately, my hair is still far too short to attempt any of those neat tricks, but the other girls at Basic Training looked so nice when they added little braided accents to their buns. / / Visit my blog at http://www.auniesauce.com Other places you can find me: Facebook:   / auniesauce   Instagram:   / auniesauce   Twitter:   / auniesauce   Pinterest:   / auniesauce
