Today's tutorial is on the famous sock bun. We've all seen the donut-shaped rings in stores and used by celebrities. What most people don't know is the origin of these easy-to-make buns!
Sock buns actually originated from female marines. Those with unruly or curly hair needed an easy way to keep their hair away from their face. Sock buns were a perfect solution for neat hair.
Here are some examples of sock buns:
And on celebrities:
In our recent Daily Style post, I featured a large bun to top off my prim and proper outfit. For girls with thinner hair, this easy DIY will make it seem as if you have all the hair in the world. All it takes is an old sock!
Here's how to do it in six easy steps:
2. Start rolling. Make the rolls even so that the final sock is as round as possible.
3. Continue until the roll reaches the toe.
4. Cut a slit at the toe.
5. Finish rolling so that the sock turns into a nice donut.
6. Place at the bottom end of a ponytail and roll the hair until it reaches the hair tie. If the bun is still loose when completely finished, use some bobby pins to secure the edges.
Fun tip: Put your hair in a sock bun overnight and take it out in the morning for loose curls.
Have fun with sock buns!
Have fun with sock buns!
