My First Sock Bun....

[SeaShell]

I attempted my first ever sock bun...courtesy of Loepsie on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13J7ArHTkM who posted a video about how to do a sock bun with no remaining hair. Mine's a little messy but I liked how it turned out. What do you think? (sorry the pics are a little on the BIG side!) :o

Very cute! I think I like it a "little messy". No one needs to know if you didn't intend for it to look that way! ;-)

Thanks! yeah I thought it looked better messy too...at least for wearing it in a casual setting!

It looks AWESOME! Is that the "new" version where you roll it?? (the old is tucked, I think)... I am straight/ fine, so I like that the sock bun gives me a BIG bun...... is that the equivalent of men putting socks in ....????? LOL! :eyebrows:

Looks fantastic!!!

I tried that version as well but it was difficult to tuck all my layers - after seeing your success, I may try it again... only after I cut more of the sock off. I have shorter hair so maybe that will do the trick!

[Raven2448]

BTW I like yours better because it's not as perfect looking. I think the "messier" look is more natural.

I giggled out loud. Ha!

I definitely like that its a little whispy/messy. Very nice.

That looks beautiful on your hair! I also like these a bit messy, it looks more feminine to me.

[Charlotte]

I like the soft, feminine messy look. Congratulations! ;)

[jasper]

Looks like a total success!

[Speckla]

It's gorgeous!

yes the hair goes inside the bun...and yes I guess it is the :cool:!

[Heavenly Locks]

I love it! It's gorgeous on you :) I've been wanting to try this one a lot!

[LaurenH]

Love it!! :)

[MandaMom2Three]

That looks SO pretty!

[ipickee]

Pretty dang cute! I like your first way better than mine!

I like it like that too.:)

[EtherealOde]

What I love about that method is how it just stays in with no need for pins. I sleep in that now, I put it on top of my head and it is really comfortable. You look great btw, really cute. :)

[FallenAngel]

Very nice! Looks great.

[Ryanne]

I like it messy. Very pretty.

[amyapple329]

I also like the messy one. I have tried it myself but never could get it to look right.

[free_hug]

Messy sockbun! So cute! :heartbeat

Well, yea, i do realize you might not intended it to be so :o but i just love them messies... they just look so spontaneous and playful to me. And feminine. Oh and all these adjectives go for your color & structure too :)

[violetka]

Yeah, it looks very pretty. I will try it today too, since my hair is short for most of the other dos:)

[redneckprincess]

that is absoutly the best looking sock bun I have seen in a while!!! Good Job ♥ I love the "messy look"

[GermanCurl]

I love sock buns ! Although my hair is only at 16", sockbuns are a nice alternative from the usually ponytail while growing out. They are easy to make and it's a polished look for the office.

[blondekate]

Very pretty! I tried one, but my hair's too thin...thinking of using one of my little boys' socks, lol! :)

[bakertwins2004]

CUTE! Looks awesome!

[halo_tightens]

I cannot wait 'til my hair is long enough to do the new twisted-up version-- I absolutely LOVE how it looks. My hair is thick anyway, so I bet I can make a huuuuge head-eater with this method one day!

For now, I can do the old elastic-sock-elastic method; that always looks so smooth and shiny. I just need more hair! I don't have enough ends to wrap around afterwards. There's not much to them, so I have to sort of poke them down to lie smooth and hope for the best! :)

[Redheaded Raven]

Looks good to me :thumbsup::rockerdud I agree the messy look works :)
