What is a sock bun?

A sock bun is a hairstyle that involves creating a bun using a sock. Yes, you read that right, a sock! The sock is rolled up and used to create a donut shape that your hair is wrapped around to create the bun. It’s a simple and easy way to create a polished and elegant look.

Now, let’s get started on creating your perfect sock bun. Here’s a step by step guide:

Start by gathering all the necessary materials – a sock, scissors, hair ties, and bobby pins.
Cut the toe off the sock and roll it up into a donut shape.
Put your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a hair tie.
Place the sock donut at the end of your ponytail and start rolling your hair down over the sock.
Once you’ve rolled your hair all the way down, tuck the ends of your hair into the sock donut and start rolling it up towards your head.
