Double Hair Buns Tutorial

Apr 12, 2010 by

Today is all about the double hair buns or as some have called it “Minnie Mouse hair”! So many of you girls requested this tutorial so I hope you enjoy it ^_^

This style works best with medium-long hair but if you used more hairspray you could probably do a version with short hair.

We are aiming for this style:

  1. How adorable! I’m always so wary of teasing my hair though because it’s so fine and thin. Any quick tips on how to handle your hair post-style?

    • Ah you make a very good point, caring for your hair is so important when you tease! I recommend using a *really* good de-tangling spray at the end of the day and very gently working through the knots with your hairs and then a brush. If the knots are super bad I suggest using a conditioner on damp hair to work out the knots and then washing it all out. I hope that helps! I think I’m going to do a big post on hair care soon ^_^

    Lol I love it! So cute :)

  3. KAWAII!!! I see you’re in a leopard print mood^^ oh the flowers i used for my bun in my blog was actually a door knob deco >_<" we use what we can find^^

    • Haha yep I am so in love with leopard print right now XD Wow I can’t believe those flowers were from a door knob!! I want door knobs like that! So cute <3

    Omigawsh that is too cute!! Reading all of your hair tutorials makes me wish I hadn’t cut my hair so short XD On the other hand, my hair takes teasing very badly, so I guess it’s a good thing I have short hair so I can hide it under extensions and just tease those instead ^.^;;

  5. What a great look! And yes, cute to the max :) Maybe now I have extensions in, I can try it.

    • Definitely! Extensions are awesome for doing things like this so you don’t have to damage your natural hair :D

  6. I just wanted to say again how dang cute your hair color is, it reminds me of a Siamese cat :3 The fade looks so pretty and natural on you!

    • Aww thank you so much Victoria! I didn’t think of comparing it to a Siamese kitty but now that you mention it I can’t stop thinking of it XD

  7. pretty! :D
    do a tutorial on how to make rings & hairties!

  8. yay for spice girls! :D
    I’ll try this hairstyle in the summer! we have a hot one coming up I think…
    thankyou!

    • No problem! Let me know if you give it a try :D We’ve just had a super hot summer and this style was great for it!

  9. ahh i love it ^^
    i like the bows too i have some very simliar only bigger XD

    how do u brush your hair afterwards though?

    • Cute! Afterwards you should be very careful when brushing it, I recommend using a good de-tangling spray and then using a really moisturizing conditioner :) I’ll make a tutorial on it!

  10. This tutorial is great! I will try it out some day :)

  11. Mie

    I love it! so cute :3 And I do know who the Spice Girls are, hihi!

    • Haha I’m glad I don’t feel old then! I had a conversation with a little girl who was born in 2000 the other day and that made me feel very old!

  12. oooh, those are so lovely ;___;!
    i wish my hair was long enough to do those, but ia have only short hair with extensions >.<
    maybe someday ! But you are sooo pretty, im jealous because of your eyes ;__;

    • Aww thank you ^_^ You could always use a hair piece to do the teasing and just place it over your natural hair/extensions. Haha let me know if you ever try it out ^_^

  13. I adore your tutorials, Violet, they’re always so useful! Now I want my hair to grow up for doing this!!

  14. That is soo cute!

  15. very sweet :D

  16. Jin

    You look sooo cute hehe! Your expression on some of the photos are so cute n funny. I keep giggling in the office when I saw it. Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I’ll give it a try one day.

    • Haha I’m glad I could make you giggle, I think hair tutorials are definitely something that should be hammed up and not taken too seriously!

  17. OMG. This is so cute! I totally have to try it! <3 Probably will just end up looking like an idiot though. Haha.

  18. Jaede

    So perfect for a day at Disneyland !!!!

  19. Absolute cuteness Princess Minnie! You always make me ache for longer hair. So much more wonderfulness to play with.

  20. Sinny

    u look 40 y/o dressed as a little girl LMAO! only asians can pull this look or other caucasian girls who r prettier than u xD

    • Hi “Kate/Leen/QiQi/Amber/Kathy/Linn”!
      Thanks for commenting so many times! As the email address you used for each of your comments is the same, you all posted from the same IP address and have the same grammar/spelling issues I’m going to go ahead and make a small leap and say you are probably the same person. As such I will be copy-pasting this reply to each of the comments you have left here.

      Generally speaking I really appreciate feedback on my website and things that I am doing, in this case let me address some of the issues you have mentioned…

      OMG stop being asian u wannabe-
      You couldn’t be more wrong on this one. I most definitely do not want to be Asian. I am 100% happy with the way that I look and while I admire other nationalities, the sense of culture they inspire, the products they create and the different things available to them, I am also 100% happy with being a caucasian Australian. I am personally inspired by the trips I have taken to both Singapore and Japan but equally so I am inspired by the trips I have taken to Europe and the UK. As James is a large influence in my life, his love of American 50′s kitsch and rockabilly is very influential in my style choices.

      u look 40 y/o dressed as a little girl LMAO! only asians can pull this look or other caucasian girls who r prettier than u
      Indeed there are thousands of girls who are prettier than me in the world. I personally couldn’t care less. The second you start measuring yourself against other people is the second you doom yourself to a life of unhappiness. I cannot change the way that I look and if I look older than I am there is not very much I can do about that. We play the cards we are dealt with, that’s life. As such I work with the canvas I am given and do my best with the limited resources I have. I don’t care what other girls look like… I’m not aiming for any one specific fashion or look… I’m just aiming to be me. There isn’t anyone in the world who can be me better than I can.

      This all seems to bother you a lot more than it does me so perhaps you should exercise your right not to visit my website if you find me so unappealing?

      I should let you know that I have your IP address so if you feel the need to be this hateful at anything in the future please be sure to stay within the bounds of the law. As I understand it cyber bullying is taken quite seriously in the country we both live in.You have the right to your opinion but I also have the right not to feel threatened or uncomfortable on my own website. I thought about blocking you from accessing my blog but by clicking here as often as you do (yes I can track that) and lingering around the place you are actually contributing to my statistics and income from advertising revenue. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it :D

      I think you might want to look at whether commenting this many times is a constructive way to get your message across or just a way to kill time for you. If it is the latter then I can think of many ways in which you could spend your time better. Please try anything from the following list of suggestions:
      -Volunteering for a charity
      -Finding a hobby, for example model air craft building
      -Reading a book
      -Continuing your studies, possibly concentrating on spelling and grammar
      -Working on your own look or looking at the kind of person you are on the inside rather than focusing on those around you

      Again I appreciate you taking the time to leave so many comments for me, I hope you find something to help you with whatever it is you are looking for. Have a great day!

      <3Violet

      Oh my goodness, Violet! I remembered this tutorial from awhile back and am doing it today, and scrolled down to the comments to take a peak and MY GOODNESS! You are so cool! I love your response!

  23. Bronte

    LMAO @ QiQi xD hahaha! yeah i could see that too LOL i reckon deep down Violet would cry her ugly frog-like eyes out as she smiles like a total moron :P

    oh and for your information Violet…the style that you’re doing is infact JAPANESE STYLE (gyaru hime) which is obviously making yourself look like an “asian wannabe” :\ because ONLY ASIANS can pull this look UNLIKE you..so start growing up and shut the fuck up! :)

  24. Carmela
