Hello Maicurlies,
I figured it was time to do a other styling tutorial seeing as I have been on a DIY and experiment frenzy as of late. This is my Twist and Tuck Donut Bun.

Twist and Tuck Donut Bun
I love this bun because it is oh so easy to do, really quick and more importantly it is a protective style. Apart from being a protective style it does not require a lot of manipulation and if you do not make it too tight you can actually just cover your hair at night with a scarf, take down the scarf in the morning , touch up the edges (if you wish) and you are good to go!
I have a video of how I do my Twist and Tuck Donut Bun on YouTube.
I also have an written explanation below of how I achieve this bun:
Products/Tools Used:
- Plain water spray bottle
- DIY Creamy Leave-In Conditioner
- Donut*
- Ouchless Hair bubble
- Soft Bristle Brush
- Stretchy Headband
- Bobby pin (you might need more than one depending on your hair)
*I modify my Donut which I bought from H&M because I do not like the texture of it as my hair gets stuck it in. To protect my hair I cut off the toe part of a stocking (best to get a fresh stocking for this). I slip the stocking in the gap of the Donut, pull the edges over the Donut, cut off the excess and that is it. (See below)
Modified Donut
Tutorial
I have explained how I achieve this style along with images and text below.
- Smooth on the water
- Rub in the Leave-In on my edges
- Brush back my edges with a soft bristle brush
- Make a ponytail
- Slip on the covered Donut
- Get my stretchy headband ready
- Cover the donut with my hair and use the headband to hold down my hair
- Once covered it looks like this
- Start to twist the ends of my hair around the Donut
- Tuck away the end and use a bobby pin to hold down the end
- Brush back edges and I also use a scarf for 10 minutes
Thanks
