Difficulty: 3 / 5 (Moderate & So Cute!)
Zootopia 2 is already making waves! As soon as I saw Judy Hopps rocking her elegant dress in the trailer, I was instantly inspired to create a Judy-inspired hairstyle. Replicating Judy’s adorable folded-ear look with human hair was a creative challenge, but the result is worth it!
Hair Arrangement Steps
• Step 1: The Base
Create a half-up ponytail at a high position first, then combine it with the rest of the hair to make a single high ponytail. Since Judy's bun represents her ears, a high position is key for a realistic look!
Tip: Ask the person to look up slightly just before tying the hair; this prevents the back of the head from sagging and ensures a clean, tight look.

• Step 2: Braiding
Braid the ponytail. Either a regular braid or a Dutch braid works perfectly! 🙆♀️
• Step 3: Creating the Base Bun
Fold the braid toward the face to create a small "bump" and secure it with a hair tie. Once secured, you can remove the hair tie from the end of the braid.
‼️ Important: Keep the volume of your natural hair small here, as we will use bun makers to add volume later. You might think, "Is this too small?"—that's exactly the right size!

• Step 4: Using the Bun Maker
Take a small bun maker and thread a small hair tie through it to create a loop. Insert it into the braided bump so that the loop is positioned at the bottom.
• Step 5: Adding Volume
Insert one more bun maker in the same way. By using two bun makers, we create the perfect height and volume.
• Step 6: Shaping the Ends
Straighten the ends of the hair and temporarily secure them with a tie. While holding the hair against the bun maker with your hand, gently slide the hair tie downward.
‼️ Crucial: Be careful not to let the hair spread out sideways! If it gets too wide, it won't look like Judy's rabbit ears anymore.

• Step 7: Securing the Ends
Use the hair tie attached to the bun maker to tie the ends of the hair. This step secures the bun, so no hairpins are needed!
• Step 8: Final Hold
Prepare a new hair tie and secure it to hold the ends firmly in place. Tuck the ends into the unseen parts and press them down so they don't pop out.
• Step 9: Professional Touch
Add the hair accessory scattered with yellow flowers to finish the look🌼 Although not shown in the video, I recommend finishing with hairspray to lock everything in place for a long-lasting hold.
