1. Put your hair back into the pony tail of your choice - messy, side, sleek, high or low.
2. Pull your ponytail through the doughnut bun formation, all the way to the base of your head.
3. Spread your hair forward evenly over the doughnut until it covers it completely. Doughnut bun formations come in 3 different hair colors - blonde, brown and black - making it easier to hide inside your hair.
4. Hold the bun in place with your fingertips, and place an elastic hair tie around the doughnut to secure the surrounding hair in place. 
5. Wrap the remaining loose hairs around the bun, and secure them in place with bobby pins.

5 Benefits of a Hair Gloss
image
This season’s burning question - what is hair gloss treatment?
What exactly does it do? How does it differ from hair color? Why is everyone getting it done for the Fall? You have the questions - Mure Salon has the answers! Now, we are revealing al the ins and outs of a hair gloss treatment. Get the Upper East Side look for these 5 simple reasons…
1. Repairs damage: Getting a hair gloss repairs your hair and helps to undo all sun and chlorine damage that the summer has caused. The gloss will restore texture, by deep conditioning your strands for ultimate silkiness and shine. 
2. Less harsh than hair color: A gloss is very acidic and locks the hair and the cuticle real tight, resulting in a much smoother surface texture that reflects more light and makes hair feel softer. Regular hair dye contains ammonia, which opens up the hair cuticle and deposits color into it, overall damaging the hair. Glossing is much gentler and results in less damage to your hair.
3. Not too much of commitment: There’s no commitment to glossing your hair, and it will fade on its own - typically within six weeks. If you decide to change your hair color, it will not interfere with any type of chemical change you decide to do next. Plus, it’s easy to maintain with the use of sulfate-free products that are made especially for colored hair.
4. Tones down highlights: If your highlights end up looking more brassy than you anticipated, you could easily get a gloss treatment to tone down the color. After every color, finishing the treatment with a gloss will help to lock the color in, and to make sure that the tone is the exact shade that you want it to be. 
5. It’s popular for Fall: Fall 2013 hair trends are all about deep, rich jewel tones. Brunettes - go for a rich honey or espresso brown. Redheads - opt for a deep copper or auburn. Blonde, go for the golden tones.
