Sock Bun Tutorial

So, I know we've all had those days when you're running late, and you don't have enough time to do much of anything with your hair. Or you're having one of those days where your hair is just a lost cause. Well, stress no more! The sock bun has come to the rescue! But wait, what?? A sock in your hair? Yep! Socks now aren't only for keeping your little piggies warm.

What you'll need:

• 1 tube sock, rolled into a donut shape
• 2 hair bands
• A few bobby pins

Start out with straight or wavy hair. My hair is moderately curly and I have found that this works best when hair is straight or wavy.

Then, put your hair in a ponytail. I like my bun to be at my crown, so I put my ponytail there, but you can wear it anywhere.

Now for the sock part. Take a regular tube sock and cut off the toe. Roll the sock to where it looks like a donut. Put your ponytail through the hole; slide the sock to the tip of your hair, making sure you leave enough at the end to wrap the tips under the sock.

Roll the sock with your hair wrapped around it down, until you reach your head.

It may look a little messy, so you can take another hair band and just put it over the bun. Secure any stray hairs with bobby pins that the base of your bun. You can also add a little accessory, like a ribbon to the base, a bow, or a cute little floral pin!

And voila! It takes a total of no more than two minutes to do; it's so easy! Say buh-bye to bad hair days and helll-o to the sock bun!
