4. Cinnamon bun with hairfork

The next style is up again. I had to wait until I managed to get it up really nice without any stray hairs sticking out all over. Today was that day.
All you need for this style is a hair fork. Of course you can also use hairsticks, but this was my method of choice. I used a three prong bloodwood fork for this updo, and for those curious or wanting one, I purchased mine at 60th Street Productions.
Take the hair and put it in a ponytail where you want the bun to be, and then twist the length clockwise to make one long string of twisted hair. Make sure the start of the twist is tight. Then turn the string clockwise around and around, making a cinnamon bun, as it were, until you have no hair left, and then tuck the ends under.
Take the fork and stick the prongs through the first full roll in an upward direction. Now turn slowly, making the prongs grab hair at the scalp and then making them face downward. Slowly push the fork through the bun and let the prongs come out through the outer roll at the bottom.
Here is a picture of this updo on myself. Do take note that the result will vary with the length of your hair, the thickness of it, and of course your own skill to make it work.
If you need more instructions there are pictures on this page, and she also has a video available at the bottom.
Good luck!

1) This do is very hard to get right with freshly washed hair. After one day I can get it to stay with a few Amish pins.
