Donut

After two weeks of having her braids in I took them out and gave her a breather. Instead of re-braiding her hair, I did another quick and simple protective style that lasted her for the school week. A bun is one of my favorite protective style because it is so simple, and is truly quick to do, especially if your an on-the-go working mom like me. To create this look all you need is a hair donut (you can purchase or make your own), a few hair ties, hair accessories, a hair brush, and hair gel (optional) but if you do use gel I would recommend Olive Oil Eco Styler Gel.


For those who don't know, here is a quick tutorial on how to make a donut. You need a old sock or a pair of stocking and a scissors. Cut the toe portion off the sock or stocking, then you take the top part of the sock and fold it downward and continue to role it until it starts to form a donut. Also to make your donut nice and neat you want to tug on the extra sock at the bottom to tighten it before your next role.
