"Sock bun"



Over the weekend, I was with a few friends getting ready to watch the UFC fights and I was in need of a cute, but simple hair style. I decided to log in to my pinterest account and see what I could find. Then I found the "sock bun". It is a rendition of the "ballerina bun", yet larger and a little more casual. I wanted to share this because it is absolutely perfect when you are in a rush, yet it looks elegant and can be made more dressy for work or casual for going out and trying to keep your hair out of your face.



Step 1: Take a long sock and cut just the toe part off.

Step 2: Roll the sock tightly into a bagel/doughnut shape.

Step 3: Tie your hair into a pony tail directly in the center of your head. (the height of the bun is up to your discretion)

Step 4: Take the sock and pull the tip of your pony tail through the center.

Step 5: Slowly roll the sock down your pony tail while your hair follows.

Step 6: Once at the base of your pony tail, bobby pin the bun in place and spray with hairspray.
