    Hi, wassup, hello. If you've ever had hair longer than a bob, you know the struggle of trying to get that perfect bun.

    Luckily (maybe) for us, we randomly stumbled across this "magic bun maker" while scrolling through Facebook.

    According to the video, all you need to do is "gather the hair and bun maker then just clip and twirl it, scrunch it and work it, and you're done". Then put your thing down, flip it, and reverse it, ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I. Lmao, sorry.

    Anyway, we got ours here but honestly, you can find them on eBay for a fraction of the price.

    So we decided to test the slap-band-esque contraption on four of us, so we could see if it could handle our different hair types.

    From left: Gina has medium-length hair with medium thickness, Michelle has thick, medium-length hair, Tahlia has long, thin hair, and Sohan has long, thick hair.

    We also tried it on someone with shoulder-length hair but it really didn't work, so keep that in mind.

    The instructions didn't say you had to tie your hair first, and we all really struggled trying to figure out how to get a semi-decent bun.

    It took at least three attempts before any of us managed to get anything that looked good, and some of us couldn't get it at all.

    We found the biggest struggle was trying to figure out which way the band snapped, and having all our loose hair and layers falling out.

    The ~magic bun maker~ worked best when we tied our hair up first, or if we got someone else to do it for us.

    Also, the placement of the bun played a big part. Putting our buns at the nape of our necks did make them more secure but really gave off that grandma-on-the-bus vibe, which is great if that's what you're looking for.

    But the more we did it, the more secure and better-looking the buns got.

    All in all, once we figured it out, our buns were looking BOMB. With a little practice, we reckon this bun-helper could actually be pretty damn useful.
