{style inspiration | hair how-to : the ballerina bun}

. . . there is something so very elegant about an oversized top knot or high ballerina bun — and you may remember the utter sophistication backstage at the dennis basso spring show, and so today, at long last, another impossibly chic [& amazingly simple] hair how-to . . .

{you will need:} hair donut, pins, tie, brush, hairspray

. . . begin with clean, dry hair

STEP 01 | brush hair into a high ponytail

STEP 02 | fit hair donut over hair tie

STEP 03 | gently tease hair to create volume

STEP 04 | let hair fall around and over the hair donut

STEP 05 | begin tucking hair under the donut, securing with hairpins as you tuck

STEP 06 | finish with hairspray

. . . and, now it’s off to the ballet, or the museum, the flower markets, or just another day at the office, an autumn soirée, or the weekend . . .
