Wouldja get a load of that forecast?! Obviously, my flat iron has not seen the light of day since this cruel, cruel summer started, so I’ve been looking for other ways to just “throw my hair up” and not look like a slob.
As it happens, I have found love in a HOPELESS place. Enter: Claires! They have a rather peculiar product that looks like the bastard offspring of a brillo pad and the most famous donut in the world:
I guess 2012 is finally the year of the “hair donut!” This is one donut I don’t regret buying.
I know, I know. I still can’t quite look it in the eye either!!!
Anyway, I used my HD (because I refuse to say hair donut out loud) to create a glorious top knot this morning. Sadly, the pics I took just don’t give it justice so you’re just going to have to imagine a world filled with magnificent simple updos.
You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one.
It’s very easy to use. All you do is put your hair into a high ponytail, and then loop the HD over. Then, as messy or neat as you’d like, wrap your hair around the HD and secure with bobby pins. Done. I’m in serious like. I feel so fancy today, and I think I’m even standing a little taller! I think it’s because I’m a Leo, and all of my strength comes from my hair.
Precisely.
Hair donut comes in 3 sizes: small, large and oversized ($4 to $5.50). Claires stores nationwide or http://www.claires.com.
A Total Waste Of Makeup 
I wish my hair was long enough for that 😦 I saw those brillo pad things at a store in London a few months ago and I was so confused. I thought they were scrunchies HAHA. My friend had to explain =P
Haha, yeah they’re really odd. My hair’s actually a bit long for it, and I had no idea where to hide it all at first!
I love my hair donut! It took me a few tries before figuring out my technique. Now my co-workers are all using them too 🙂
Yay! Now I don’t feel bad about just bunning it every day 🙂
