Beauty doughnut!

I'm sure you have all noticed how a lot of people are fixing their hair into a top of the head bun.....

lovely pe pa/ atlantic pacific blogs

Here I am with the little miss in one of japans beauty store. 4 floors of everything beauty-- useful/ useless/ strange things. And I found a weird velcro doughnut----
YES ! i guess its for that top bun huh!

So months after purchase, I figured out how to use it!

1. put your hair in a ponytail and make it go through the hole half way.
2. open it like a flower
3. secure the sides with a band
4.-- fix hair sticking out..

TADA!

I have a little secret-- I can speak, read and write basic Japanese (nax). Well speak like a 3yr old Japanese that is!-- haha. I took Nihongo a while back, its cool , I can actually read the characters when I'm there. Looking forward to good eats, as there are NO bad meals in Japan. Also gettin my Uniqlo fix and I can check out the H&M Versace collection yaay!
