Ballerina bun for long/medium hair

This hairstyle is very simple to achieve and also looks very elegant. In my opinion you could use it for both casual and evening looks, but you may prefer one or the other.

You will need :

• Hairband
• Doughnut Ring (in your hair colour)
• Hairbrush - Tailcomb or backcombing comb
• Pins!
• Hairspray ( if needed/wanted)

To start, simply tie all your hair into a high ponytail. If you have a fringe or bits you want to keep down then do. Depending on what look you want, either tie your hair into the ponytail neatly, or leave it scruffy if you want a more casual look.

Once you are happy with your ponytail, take your doughnut ring and slide your ponytail through the hole in the middle. Then part your hair over the ring in sections until the ring is hidden with your hair, and wrap your hair around the outside tucking under the ring as you go. The longer your hair, the more times you will need to wrap your hair around the ring.

Then take your chosen pins, and pin around the outside of the ring to keep it in place. Use as many pins as you need but try to keep them hidden!

To finish, spray your hair with a bit of hairspray for extra security, and also to get rid of any stray fly away hairs. If a casual look is what you wanted, perhaps even take a few strands out to give it that 'messy' look.

Have fun!
