7 Easy Steps in Creating a Sock Bun
Wash your hair
Make your hair soft and nourished so you can easily create any hairstyle. Achieve this by washing your hair with Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Shampoo. With five flower essences, your hair stays fragrant all day long.
Make the cut
Create your sock hair donut by getting an unused sock and cutting out the toe part. Then, roll it to create a donut shape.
Time to spray
Put your hair up in a high ponytail, gathering stray hair and loose strands in the process. Spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to get rid of frizz and flyaways and help secure your hairstyle.
Sock it
Put your ponytail into the sock donut that you created. Then, slide the sock donut toward the tip of your ponytail.
Open up and roll
Hold the sock donut along with the tip of your ponytail. Split the ends of your ponytail into three or four sections and tuck them in the sock donut.
Then, tuck your fingers under the sock donut. Then, roll the sock donut toward the base of your ponytail.
Pin it
Secure your bun at the base using bobby pins. Use as many pins as you need. Make sure that your sock bun is completely hidden, especially if the color of the sock is in stark contrast with your hair. This will make your hairstyle look neater and more polished.
Beautiful bun
What’s good about a sock is that it’s light and stretchable, so it can accommodate thick hair as well. You can also use this DIY tool when styling curly hair.
When you’re done with your bun, you can loosen up a few strands near your hairline to create a chic, messy look. The sock bun is great for everyday styling when you have a busy day and you want to get your hair out of the way.
Sock Bun: Ways to Wear This Unique Hairstyle
There is no limit to how and when you can use the sock bun hairstyle. But here are some of the cutest looks that you can try!
1. Braided Sock Bun
Sock buns don’t have to be boring. When you wear it while working out or doing yoga, add a touch of style and sophistication by braiding a portion of your hair to tie along with your sock bun. Not only will you look fresh in class but it also makes your hairstyle fancy!
2. Hair-belted Style
This hairstyle is similar to the first one. But instead of a braid, a twisted section hair is wrapped around the sock bun. It’s a simpler option, but it’s as stylish and comfortable as the braided sock bun.
3. Half-up Sock Bun
Bun hairstyles don’t have to always be a full updo. If you prefer to look more casual, you can definitely do the half-up style and leave some loose sections of hair around your face. The messier you make it, the sexier it looks. So, ditch the comb and enjoy a messy, carefree hairstyle!
4. Low Sock Bun
You can also use a sock to create a neat, low bun. It’s perfect for looking smart and professional when working from home.
Who would’ve known that you could use a sock to put your hair up? You don’t even need to spend a single cent just to get this styling tool. Now, share this sock bun tutorial with your friends. Who knows? This might be the hair hack they need right now.
