I like to put my hair into Bao, or "ox horns" when I'm relaxing at home sometimes, and sometimes when I go out. But no matter how neat I make them they don't seem cute enough..So I've been looking for the holders that are placed aroung the buns but I can't find any solid ones, kinda like the ones on gaia, they're all crocheted, and I think that it looks strange for two buns. I want to buy ones made for Bao, and there are no places...D:

I think she means cloth bun covers. Like the "bao" sold by Gaia or the hair covers worn by Chun Li in Street Figther. I've only ever seen them sold in costume shops, though, and the only "bao" I've heard of are little buns filled with red bean, pork or the like. ^^;

Thank you so much. That makes sense. I bet they could be made with clothe and some kind of string, cord or lace.

Yes, they are really quite easy to make, actually. They are just little drawstring bags.
What you do is you cut a circle of cloth somewhat smaller than a handkerchief (you might want to size them to your own buns, the thickness of people's hair can be very different) then cut a series of slits around the edge. Hem it, thread a ribbon through the edge and you have them, simple as anything. I also suggest sewing lace around the edge to make it more lolita. Don't forget to use plenty of ribbon so you can tie nice big bows.
You might want to see if you can find the kind of lace made for threading ribbons through, so you don't have to cut holes.

Well, till now there are not many stores selling Baos but you can find pink ones at TamotoDreams on ebay that can be used with or without hair.

Baos are mainly named "odango covers" thought.
