The development of our method
We are dressage riders ourselves and have competed regularly over the years. Our outfits were always on point, except for the hair. It kept falling down, the helmet wouldn't fit properly, and it just didn't do justice to the rest of our look. So we decided to do something about it.
We knew there had to be a better way. We designed accessories to make the bun look beautiful, but we were still missing the right method. We tried countless things, until we came up with the idea of using a hairnet to gather all the excess hair. A bun made this way feels incredibly stable and secure - it'll last all day, because you can really tighten it with the hairnet. Our method also works with any helmet, as the bun sits low enough for the helmet to slide in behind it. If you're struggling to make it fit, put the helmet on first, and then make your ponytail. With this method the helmet can go as low as the ponytail.
FAQ
What should I do if my hair is very thick or long?
Our method (as shown in the video above) works perfectly for thick or long hair. It makes it super easy to create a bun that stays tight and flawless all day, thanks to the hairnet.
Sometimes, we actually use two hairnets instead of one: the first one to catch all the hair, and the second to really tighten everything in place ♡
Another key detail is the size of your hair donut. While we usually recommend a tiny donut, thicker or longer hair might need a medium or even grande size - simply because there’s too much hair to fit into a tiny one.
That said, we rarely recommend the grande donut, since it only works if your hair is both very long and thick. If you don’t have quite enough volume, the accessories won’t show as nicely, and it’ll be harder to get that tight, polished finish ♡
How can I make the bun fit comfortably under my helmet?
With this method, it’s super easy to make any helmet fit - even if you have thick hair. All the extra hair is neatly tucked into a hairnet, so you can pull the bun out slightly and let the helmet slide in behind it, instead of trying to fit over the top.
If you’re struggling, try this: once you’ve made the first (very low) ponytail, gently loosen the hair tie a bit. That gives your helmet more space to sit comfortably behind the bun.
If you ever need personal guidance, feel free to reach out to us at info@bellinoxx.dk. We often exhibit at horse shows across Europe - and if you stop by a BelliNoxx stand, we’ll be more than happy to show you exactly how to make the perfect bun for your hair.
What do I need to be able to do this at home?
Can the method work on very fine hair?
With very fine hair, a tiny donut works best. If your hair doesn’t fully cover the donut, we recommend adding a pearl hairnet for a beautiful finish ♡
When you have fine hair, the hairnet technique (shown in the video above) also adds a touch of volume, helping the accessories sit more beautifully on the bun.
