This is a variation of the cinnamon bun, and is another easy way to put hair up using one or two hairsticks or a hair fork. Instead of holding your hair back in a ponytail, use a band to secure it.

Braid (plait) your hair in a simple, 3-strand braid, making sure that at the start it is fairly tight. Wrap the braid around its base, in the same way as for the simple bun, and tuck or pin the ends under the outer coil. Insert hair stick(s) in the same way as for the simple bun.
