From the Wikipedia article
A bun is a type of hairstyle in which the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on top or back of the head or just above the neck. A bun can be secured with a hair tie, barrette, bobby pins, u-pins, hair forks, various types of hair clips, one or more hair sticks, a hairnet, or bun coverings. In place of hair sticks, objects of similar shape, such as pencils or paintbrushes, may be used. Hair may also be wrapped around a piece called a "rat". Various hair bun inserts may be used to create donut-shaped buns.
