I Like Big Buns and I Cannot Lie

{An homage to Sir-Mix-A-Lot.  Well, sort of.}

My apologies if you get this song stuck in your head, but I'm obsessed with big buns ~ really!

An explanation...My daughter and I were chatting on the phone recently and she told me that she'd discovered a way to style her hair into a big bun.  She called it a "sock bun," and described it as a donut.  Ha!  I told her I'd just bought one online!  It's freaky but sometimes I think we share a (silly) brain:)  Anyway, when she and the Fiance visited us last weekend, we decided to give them a try ~ here's our tutorial-ish...

First, you put your hair up into a pony tail:

Then you slip the donut over your pony tail...

...and move the donut to the end of your pony tail, leaving just the tip outside the donut:

Finally, you roll your pony down over the donut...

...until it touches your head:

No bobby pins needed!  No hairspray needed!  Our buns stayed in place all day long.

Ta da:

Of course when our do's were complete we danced into the family room to model for Captain Project and The Fiance, singing our version of Sir Mix-A-Lot (yes, we crack ourselves up!).  The men rolled their eyes.  At our singing?  Our buns?  Our dancing?  Probably all three, but whatev, I love the big buns!  So fun!

In case you want to give it a try, here's how to make your own:
