tysm for this method! I know this was made a while back, but this helped me so much! This was the easiest method ever, and instead of using bobby pins or spin pins, I used a scrunchie and just applied it over the extra strands of hair, making it look like I did a bun with a scrunchie! Easy and fun to do for school, everyone loved it

[@justanotherclaud]

Oh my God I have so many scrunchies. I love this idea.

[@ellkoNYC]

+Jay andFriends I can't reply to your comment for some reason :( So I hope you see this! But thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'll for sure check you out! :) :)

Ellko

[@zazu9001]

Ellko best ever thanks so much

[@Alice-ov3rd]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My hair is super long and heavy so I have such a hard time with those flimsy Bobby pins. I may try get those spin pins.

[@AtlantisIndigo]

My bun maker came with spin pins. I feel lucky

[@miradwyn]

Spin pins are awesome. I thick, heavy hair and these pins hold perfectly. I even sleep with them in and in the morning my hair is still in place.

[@tracypreston7018]

Been looking at these bun things for awhile. Could never figure out how to use them. You explained it so easy. I’m Getting ready to go get one and try it out. Thank you so much😊

[@elsjeblom7751]

She's so pretty!

[@eforemily3855]

Elsje Scholtz ti know so pretty

[@LeaAnne94]

The second method is seriously an arm workout for those with really long hair.

[@dianepruett585]

Yes!!! Where are my girls with 3-4 feet of hair? My hair is 3.5 feet long.

[@54chevysoul]

+Diane Pruett 39 inches here. I do a high ponytail, put the hair donut on, and flip my head over so all my hair covers the donut like she shows in the video. But then I take another hair tie and put it around both the hair donut and my hair, then take the hair that is left over and wrap it around the bun. Secure with pins. Sounds harder than it is but it is easier for longer hairs.

[@dianepruett585]

+54chevysoul same here!

[@patriciagutierrez5447]

54chevysoul exactly that's how you do it and It comes out extremely nice.

[@unicorngaming2180]

LeaAnne94 yeah that's why I cut my hair 😂

[@dazem8]

i got my donut from dollar tree... lol. just sayin for those gals on an extreme budget.

[@helema23]

i got three of them and two french twist bun maker bar sets for 6.48 with bobby pins on amazon!

[@hollystanislawski5680]

Me too!

[@tiffany7373]

same lmao

[@MrPhillypickles25]

I got mine on amazon and the 12-pack was only $7.99 www.amazon.com/Hawwwy-12-pieces-Ballet-Toddler-Accessories/dp/B07Q3YYZCV/

[@joshuachen3394]

I got mine from dollar store 😐

[@MrPhillypickles25]

The ABSOLUTE BEST bun makers I have ever used are by a brand called HAWWWY. You can get them on amazon for super cheap. They have every single kind of bun maker but the "magic bun makers" are by far the best. It definitely takes a little while to learn but once you learn you can make a bun in under 5 seconds and it will literally last until you physically take it out. They make the PERFECT ballet buns. I also have been using spin pins by HAWWWY as well. You can make a messy bun and it lasts all day and only takes 1 second to make. They're like bobby pins but spiral, and you just twist them into your bun. Search HAWWWY on amazon or walmart and you will not be dissapointed. I promise!!!!!!!

[@Morganville94]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been wrestling with my bun maker forever!

[@ashlei527]

OMG, this is the easiest tutorial how to use that bun maker! I was going crazy and was ready to return it. Thank you so much!!!

[@CutieFish]

This was soooo helpful lovely!!! I've always had a little donut a never really known how to use it, THANK YOU!! x

[@ellkoNYC]

Ahhh you are so welcome my love!! So glad I could help!! xoxo

[@Lilypool123]

Thank you!!!! I've had a bun maker sitting on my dresser for years, and I'm finally putting it to use! Appreciate the easy instruction and demonstration!!!

[@cookie761]

Thanks for your video! I have an idea for you: After you have put the bunmaker onto your ponytail, And you spread the hair around with your head tilted forward, just take another Smallish ponytail holder and put it around the whole thing. As the ponytail holder Closes in underneath the bun Maker, It'll pull your hair in. After that, All you have to do is spin your hair around the outside and pin it Just like you did......so much easier, And much neater looking. Stay's neat all day long.

[@misswhiskeykittie]

Such a great tutorial! I have very thick, curly hair and I wear my hair in a bun all the time in the summer. I cannot deal with a sweaty neck or hair in my face when it’s hot.

[@THESnowWight]

Thank you so much! I just got a bun maker and was kind of winging it. Your tutorial really helped me get the hang of it. I love this hairstyle! Hope you’re having a great day!

[@HandCraftedHomesteading]

I use method 1..... I never really was able to master method 2. I have never used spin pins, tho, I only use bobby pins. Thanks for posting!

[@Whammytap]

Thanks! As a confirmed tomboy, I really needed this explanation. Bun donut came with insufficient instructions. I have a lot of REALLY short layers, which make great '80s palm tree hair--everything else, not so much. So my bun is messy, but I think I can rock the messy bun!

[@sylviasegura907]

Very useful videos, thanks, I just did my bun with option 1 and it looks great!

[@brandieschutte5196]

thank you for this video. I watched a couple before this one and yours helped me the most!

[@ogbanana]

Thank you! I've owned a bun maker for 2 + years now and never knew how to use it. Today I decided to watch your video and my life has been changed forever.

[@bobbyc44]

Thank you! It's recital season and I needed help with my daughter's hair! Do you have any tips for hair that's a little shorter, getting it into a bun. Is a bun maker still the way to go?

[@akodoshige8660]

THANK YOU. OMG............ I've been trying to learn this for years through pictures and heavily edited videos.

[@littlelamb1962]

Oh my gosh. You just made this so easy for me. They don't show the steps like this on the package at all! I've never heard of spin pins... gettin' me some! Thanks ever so much! :-)

[@hollymichelle8530]

Ahhhhhhh! For the longest time I couldn't bloody figure out how to do this. My friend recently showed me her magic bun donut and I was like oh my gosh! and went and bought one for myself. I still couldn't do it successfully. But this video has helped me so much! I prefer method two as I've been dying to get my slightly-past-shoulder-length hair into a proper bun since forever. Thank you!!! :')

[@emilycarter5711]

This was so good! Thank you, I have tried about 5 videos and this is the only one that makes sense! ThankYou :)

[@acwilson4714]

Hi Ellie, I really like what you did. I just bought one and I wasn't sure how to go about making a stylish bun. Your hair is so pretty.

[@Saige7]

So you can use it like a sock bun ... so cool!! I think the sock bun/roll method gives the most texture to the bun - more of the messy look. But the first method of just wrapping the bun in the hair looks the most realistic. Thanks!

[@almarosales4931]

Totally loved it!!! I actually was able to do this after your tutorial 😊

[@user-kk6ip]

thank you so much for this !!!! it really helped seriously...

[@alisakulik7189]

You look fantastic, girl! Love the video, many thanks. :D

[@monetsando3943]

Thank you!! I will attempt this tomorrow!

[@TheThreekeys]

One of the BEST videos on these instant bun makers!!! Thx!!

[@laurabrown1231]

Thank you! I suck at doing my hair, but I can totally manage this!

[@kellygnow1]

Definitely going to try #1

[@BabyBunch]

I always thought you unrolled it and then rolled it down so the hair was inside

[@toMickorNottoMick]

Your tatts are sooo pretty! I love the color! Thanks for this tutorial! My hair is super fine but this helps mucho!

[@andreacavazos1873]

Thanks for the post I literally watched you a d did the first style in less than 2min I was in a hurry and your video was to the point thanks

[@crystalclearhealth]

Love the spin pins, been using them for over 10 years...

[@kyahnichole754]

you are so cool I live your videos especially fail or holy grail

[@justjanelle6008]

Thank you so much for this! I had to make a little girls hair in a bun today and I was clueless.

[@marieyrosas3236]

considering I'm going to basic training I have to constantly have my hair in a nice bun so this helped..thank you.!

[@carlymudge4292]

I really love the ways you did this. It really helped me coz i could never put my hair up using a bun maker. And also i love your tattos. Ps ur goals

[@kimc5885]

So I've always wanted to try a bun maker in my hair. The first method is SO easy and looks good. The second method, for the life of me I don't know how you do it, my hair just poops back out of the hole EVERY time I try rolling. I also have really long thiner hair now so it just didn't work out very well. Thank you for showing me how to use it!! 😁

[@addyrain6817]

I have the smallest bun doughnut but my hair is so thin that it never covers all of the doughnut. Do you or anyone else reading this comment have any suggestions for me? I really want cute hair, but I can't seem to get it ) :

[@HeartacheAndWhiskey]

Addy Rain ugh me too, girl! Did you ever figure out a good bun method?

[@cupcakesforlife8178]

I also have very thin hair but I don't know how to get it work well all I can say is try one more the color of your hair hope this helps a little

[@jojocircus9818]

I have an undercut so about a third of my hair is shaved and my hair is super fine. You just need to play with it because that’s what I had to do.

[@allygaffney962]

Try to mess around with the hair before you start rolling it down. Tease the hair with some spray and fine tooth comb. Then after rolling it down pinch small sections from middle and pull gently outward. Wiggle and pull. Build up the volume and also cover the spots. Then, sneak in Bobby pins and try to pin from the underside if skilled. I know it's 4 years later.... But wanted to help

[@josiepie8780]

Thanks for the tutorial! Super helpful:) I got my bun maker for $.25 at a local store😏

[@tatumanderson5600]

Thank you so much the 2nd one works with short hair!

[@rapunzelred9055]

I wondered how to use these! It looks like the second method holds in layers better... but I have not tried this myself :D

[@YolandaPerez]

wow thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought a bun maker and could never figure out how to use it until now! Woohoo!

[@asuban]

I got a little frustrated trying to figure this bun sponge out by myself for the first time. The method number 1 is definitely for me.

[@xLuv4Music]

@Ellko I love your makeup in this video!!!

[@jessicagiudetti2341]

I'm trying to get a perfect bun but I'm far from my aim. thank you

[@okramirez8175]

I loved how you do ur buns it helped me

[@aliehsgeeagev9906]

Just discovered this and thank you such a life saver!!!

[@elizabethgreeno3815]

I love this video! Thank you for the tutorial. Could you do a video on eye liner? I like how yours is put on and I stink at doing mine.

[@christinabiondo5001]

Love the close-up VIV! Great idea.

[@jeannasimonette3605]

Loved the second bun

[@EverSweet-bj6oj]

I Love the second one!!!

[@inengs2446]

Nice ! I know now how to do it. Thanks for this amazing video

[@spkyjim5414]

Thank u sooooo freaking much. I got mine today and ur video helped soooo much.

[@shahaash1661]

I just cant do the second technique.. It doesnt roll back easily gets messed up and looks horrible.. Help?

[@rodainakabouha2064]

Shaha Ash simple do the first technique 😂❤️

[@annmariemiddleton8933]

I like your methos! Both are easy and look great! Thank you!

[@kleineroteHex]

Nice closeups and great explanations, thanks!

[@melmartinezfan8589]

This was so helpful the first time I ever made a good bun Tysm

[@kimkardasian4390]

thank goodness I have to wear a bun to church

[@mamcmillan24]

Easiest way I seen anyone use the bun maker!

[@bearlester]

$5 OMG......I BOUGHT MINE FOR $1 AT WAL-MART

[@sagrammyfour]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I like to use "Magic Grip" hair pins, too.

[@shellylynn3063]

Omg thank you!!! I bought mine at the Dollar Tree. Woohoo I know how to do it😃😃😃😃

[@brandydaugherty6617]

Since I have layers, I always find it helpful to dampen my ponytail a little so it rolls into the bun maker easier when doing method 2.

[@lolaishere187]

Holy guacamole! Thank you so much girl :D

[@vian6010]

Wow this is great tutorial!

[@gabrielleleboeuf4410]

Thanks for the tips because I was struggling this morning

[@ItsPetraful]

This video is full of long haired wizardry that I cannot comprehend. I totally thought those were just scrunchies tbh hahahah. When my hair grows I'm going to do all these cool wizard things too.

[@ellkoNYC]

Petra you are the hair wizard, remember? Can I just come to your land and do all of the things with your hair? That is my dream in life. Okay.

[@ItsPetraful]

Me and my hair will be waiting for you.

[@jacksoncash3667]

on the first one if u want a ballerina bun, all u have to do is, put your hair in a pony tail, put the bun maker on your scalp where your hair tie is and spread the hair all around the bun maker and tie it to the bun maker then just twirl the excess hair around the bun and pin hair in place, and there you go, a ballerina bun. and just to say i love your videos.

[@ringfinger9919]

I don't know if you still even answer questions on this, but I was wondering how this would be for wet hair? If you put wet hair immediately after washing it, could you take it down the second day and have curly hair? I'm just wondering how your hair looks when you take it out, is it nice and wearable or is it a kinky mess? I usually hand roll/twist my hair into a bun to get curls because I have no curling iron, blow dryer, straightener, nothing. I'm wondering if this would be better or worse because I just got one of those fluffy bun things. The video was great though, I know I can wear it up now at least! Thanks :)

[@michellerajotte3187]

Honestly, there are other, non-heat ways of curling your hair! You can try the pin-curl way, section out your hair in 1inch squares, and cross bobby-pin the curl to your scalp, while wet. It'll look super natural! Or, what I used to do is French braid my hair in 2 sections and wear wet over night to dry, then take it out, usually more wavy for me. I wouldn't recommend using the bun maker as a curling tool only because, your hair tie would create a large crease, especially tying it as tight as we do. There is also a new way of creating curls but, I'm not sure what they're called. But, there are LOTS of different ways to get nice waves/curls. Just gotta do some research. ;)

[@jazzikao4193]

This comment is a year old but I thought I’d offer another method. I’ve got decently long hair and I typically just tie it in a high ponytail and twist it until it starts to twist itself and wrap around loosening the center. Then I pull my ends through because I’ve got layers so it’s difficult to pin especially long thick hair. Once I’ve pulled the ends through I just twist and tuck/fan it out to match with the rest of the bun and any clip or pins I have I just pin/clip where the ends are at. My entire bun is mainly secure from being pretty much a ponytail. I can sleep in it too which that depends on where your bun sits and what you use to keep in place. The next day if I’ve worn it days on end I get soft ring curls. Not ringlets but the soft ones you get from like a medium sized curling wand.

[@alliemullen1137]

My 8yrs old hair so long and i couldnt figure out how to get all that hair in the bun maker.. This video was so helpful in 3 min i had it done!!

[@SS-gx9td]

So helpful! And the close-up inset was perfect for showing the detail..Great job!

[@rachelcox1563]

Thank you-so easy!!

[@allaboutCharm]

Great tutorial! Thanks ☺️

[@Popeyeferguson36SOB]

Very good informative video. Thank you!

[@Whiskey.alpha_]

Thanks mate you just saved the day for my little girls dress up day 🎉

[@flyiingcurtains]

You're lovely! And well spoken!

[@NikiCardwell]

It seems like the first method is easier, but I do prefer how the second method looks. I don't know, it just seems more polished or something. You look beautiful either way!

[@Wowwwzaaa]

Thanks for making it look easy. Does it hurt taking out those twist pins?

[@velindanoyb691]

No it does not hurt at all just turn in the opposite direction from which you put the pins in I love these pins my hair is long and very thin and fine best thing to secure it

[@reirizky8355]

Thank you, Ellko :)

[@nelidakiss7773]

Great video

[@trishabarone3166]

Thank you this helped a lot😊

[@parvatinath7798]

I like the first one. Thank you so much. :)

[@sandra02111978]

Thanks! I’m off to buy some spin pins!

[@bratzandanimelover]

What can I do if I purchased a bigger bun maker and my hair's too short to wrap around it?

[@ellkoNYC]

Ioana Georgiana If you tease your hair with a comb or a brush after you put the bun maker on your ponytail (before you start wrapping), it'll fluff it up and should help! If you still can't wrap your hair around fully, you can always just pin it over the bun maker one section at a time until it's covered. Worst case scenario, I believe stores now sell mini bun makers, too! :)

[@molliegraham6928]

Wow! Can't wait to try these out! My friend is a dancer and needs her to be super tight looking and perfect. So she makes her look very organized, she got me and bun maker and taught me her method. It's not my style at all, but this helped me a lot. Now I know how to use it in my own person style. Thanks so much, it is super cute, easy, and helpful!

[@LadyKimberly1]

Thanks so much! I used one as a child but forgot how it worked. ☺️

[@IsabelBaxt-qe5go]

I like the first method better; however, they both look nice.

[@ayubjama123]

thank u ellok

[@ilovebts4113]

Thank you for this!

[@Vimii]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I MADE MY BUN :D

[@kaitlynhayes7877]

[@mysticlight_d36]

What is the name of those pins?

[@punkesita]

I never leave comments on KZbin videos but I had to in yours: thank you so much for this tutorial. It's the first one that actually works for me. Thank you SO much. 💕

[@fts-tricks1971]
