gets the job done [SEP] i really like this bun shaper more than any others i have used the bun styler does not always make it easy for me to snap the pieces together but it does not matter it still gets the job done if you have enough hair this works wonders i have had a couple others before and i will say over time the metal pieces inside do snap and break however the piece still works you will also need to use bobby pins to pin pieces of your hair i mostly like this for the volume it gives the bun others i have used make the bun extremely small
