How to DIY Sarah Hyland's Ballet Bun in Two Minutes Flat

• To get the perfect ballerina bun every single time, the trick is to use a hair donut. The squishy mesh rings look totally goofy and, well, kind of mind-boggling upon first glance, but hear us out, they're heaven-sent for maintaining hold and shape—from either 9 to 5.

• Once you've obtained your time-saving bun-making tool—they're available at most fast-fashion retail shops, drugstores, or you can get this $5 Conair 6-piece kit (our fave!) at Ulta.com—follow these simple steps to get a gorgeous bun in less than 2 minutes.

  Step 1: Pull hair into a high ponytail and secure with a small elastic.

  Step 2: Using a donut that matches your hair color, slip your ponytail through the hole and hold in place. (Yes, we realize this is extremely phallic... Moving on.)

• Step 3: Take your ponytail and disperse hair evenly around the donut. Secure strands to the donut with U-shaped bobby pins to create a basic bun silhouette.

  Step 4: Wrap leftover strands around the base of the bun, pinning in place as necessary—the more strands you leave undone, the edgier and messier your bun will look.

  Step 5: Spritz the style down with your everyday hairspray, and you've got a prim and polished look just like that.
