I have always loved the look of a bun. But lately my bunning, has been flat and floppy. I recently cut my hair shorter and found that my buns were not as full as I wanted them to be and they often fell to the side. Stumbling on StumbleUpon one night I came across something magical! The sock bun! Many of you may have heard about this already but for those who haven't... The sock bun is a big beautiful bun that uses a rolled up sock as a foundation! It is so easy and the results are awesome! If you are a fan of the Kourtney Kardashian bun this is a fast and easy way to create it without fussing over your hair!
MATERIALS: All you need is a sock (the longer and thicker; the better!), an elastic, and scissors!
DIRECTIONS:
Secure hair on top or back of the head, using a ponytail.
Pull hair through the doughnut/rolled sock.
Roll the hair through the doughnut/rolled sock. OR using pins arrange hair around the foundation until it is completely covered and you are satisfied!
Below I have added my own video on how I like to do my sock bun. It is harder to do with layered hair/shorter hair like mine so keep that in mind. I tend to like the messy look as you can tell. But if you want a more clean slicked back look, straightening your hair is helpful. Hope you like!

Have fun!!
