Hairstyles - The Cinnamon bun (plus video tutorial)

My latest hairstyle tutorial, featuring three variations of my version of the cinnamon bun:

-Steps:

    1. I gather my hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a metal-free elastic (you can also make a cinnabun without an elastic, as shown in the video tutorial).

 

    2. Then I begin twisting the length and coiling it around the ponytail base, in the same direction I'm twisting it, creating a spiral-y form. It can be secured with pins while you're twisting it, or directly at the end when the bun's finished, with a stick, fork, pins, flexi-8, or claw-clips.

-As a length-shortening updo (see linked post):

-Lots of paranda pics in the paranda label

-Donuts:

 

2. Hairbands and circlets

Practically the only hairband I own! I'm not a very headband person - Now, circlets are another thing :D!

                             

                               

-A PreciousPlunder (on Etsy) Celtic silver-and-amber crystals circlet

 

-An Elvish circlet from the Effeyl shop:

And another circlet from Etsy:

Both of them:

This leafy one I got from an LHC Winter swap:

3. Alligator clips

The purple one is the one that I use the most, especially for flipped and seashell buns. I also got these two as part of an LHC Winter swap:

 

All of them:

-Action shots: Large Ficcaré-style metal clip

 Half-up with a smaller clip.

 4. Barrettes

 

 

These large barrettes usually don't work for me in half-ups or as a ponytail holder because my hair is so fine-textured and slippery, but I can get them to work as accents in updos and braids:

5. A buncage

I hardly ever use it because it's rather cumbersome, but still: Pretty! :)

6. Decorative pins, small barrettes, etc.

Small decorative hair stuff such as clips, barrettes, pins and leaf ribbons.

-Action shots:
