This is awesome! My two-year-old has extremely long and thick hair (down to her little bottom!!). This will be adorable on her. Thanks for sharing!
Oh how fun! Enjoy 👍🏻
Too cute! Kind of makes me wish I had a daughter but God sent me 7 boys.
Wow! So awesome! God bless…
Wow..Bless you!! As a mom of 2 I can’t imagine 7!! (Though I’m sure you have stories to tell that are epic!)
Wow! That’s amazing – congrats!
Cute idea! I’ll keep this concept in mind for the next crazy hair day. They had one a few weeks ago. I put about 10 braids in my daughters hair, but each braid used 2 strands of hair and 1 pipe cleaner (as the 3rd strand). It looked fun and colorful, and they could change, bend and move the braids all day. I’ll have to think of a non-holiday way to jazz up a bun for next time. Thank you!!!!!!!
Clarification: a ponytail with 10 braids. 🙂
Oh that’s a cute idea for the braids! 👍
So cute! But what’s the secret to getting your daughter to keep this in her hair without messing it up after 5 min?!
Haha I guess 8 is the age when it happens! It stayed all day and I guess the nose fell out a couple times but classmates helped put it back on lol 😀
Nice Idea👍
Thanks Rani!!
This is a life changing post for me no kidding i just bought one of the donut buns for dollar at dollar tree at first i thought wasted my money but then i YouTube how-to use it right. I put the bun on very top of my head i have really long hair and am always having to do braids to keep out of my face but this works feels great in hair no pull and omg it is a gorgeous messy donut bun on my hair im going to wear it all holiday weekend and work etc etc … TYSM.
