Hair Donut

No, this isn’t the Bumpit, but this hair gadget will give you plenty of volume. Called the hair donut, it’s designed to give you a mega bun no matter what your hair type or length. The actual gadget is a simple foam tube that wraps around your ponytail. Here’s how it works: After you secure it around the base, you take chunks of hair from the ponytail and wrap them over the donut, pinning into place with bobby pins. At the end of this pretty simple process, you’ll have the ballerina bun you always dreamed of. And if you can’t afford the sticker price (around $6 or so), there are some great DIY versions of this product online.

Hair Gadget Confession: “I use the medium one and it gives me a red-carpet-worthy style in a hot second. All you need is an elastic and bobby pins.” — Sharon, Assistant Editor
