You submitted a sample of a hair accessory kit you call the Bun Maker, model 52530-P. The kit includes a donut-shaped hair bun foundation that measures 3-1/4” in diameter. The donut is knit textile fabric made from man-made fiber filament yarns that have been extruded into a mesh-like construction. The textile mesh is rolled then stitched to resemble a donut. Also included are 15 metal bobby pins, 2 acrylic stone decorated bobby pins and 20 ponytail holders. To make a donut bun, the hair is first gathered into a ponytail holder at the top of the head. The donut is placed over the gathered hair, and smoothed around and over to cover the donut evenly. After tucking in loose hairs the bobby pins are used to stabilize the donut at the top of the head. The 2 decorative bobby pins are used to accentuate the hairstyle.
