Braided Ballerina Bun // Hair Tutorial

 Here's a simple way to add a unique twist to the ballerina bun hair style. A big thanks to my pal, Mallory, for helping me out today.

 Supplies: hair tie, small elastic hair bands, hair pins, hair donut or a tube sock. Here's a great tutorial if you decide to use a sock instead of a hair donut.

Step 1// Start with your hair down and natural.

Step 2// Put your hair into a high ponytail.

Step 3-4// Take the middle section of the ponytail, and create four small braids. Secure the ends with a small elastic hair band.

Step 5// Then, take the sock or hair donut, and put it at the base of the ponytail.

Step 6// Wrap the hair around the sock/hair donut, and secure it in place with a hair tie. Adjust the braids so that they are visible and evenly spaced apart.

Step 7// Once the sock/donut is covered, pin the ends of your hair around the base of the bun, hiding the hair tie.

Step 8// voilà!

Do you have any other ideas on how to give the ballerina bun a unique twist?
