[RecklessCharlie]

Well, since I discovered sock buns courtesy of a video posted by a wonderful member here, (thank you!) I have been wanting to try it and today I did - and they are suchfun!

Oh, wow! I have never before seen a sock bun, or two in this case, look so classy. Absolutely stunning :)

[Lemur_Catta]

They are so neat, it's amazing :D Mine always come out messy. Your hair is so beautiful :)

[Hana]

how do you do them so perfectly?
they look beautiful.

[jackiesjottings]

That looks amazing!

[RecklessCharlie]

Thanks everyone! :)
I tipped my head upside down so that all the hair would stay in one direction while I was twisting the sock upwards - I think perhaps that helped to keep it neat. They have a Victorian feel to them which is fun!

[longhairdream]

They're looking very beautiful ! and silky too ! :)

Gorgeous! I've never tried this type of bun before; I think I'll do a forum search.

By the way, do you henna, or is that your natural color? I've been dying to henna for months now, but I can't seem to work up the nerve.

[Tressie]

Wow!!! Just WOW!!! How absolutely beautiful!! (o:

No I don't henna, the reddish parts are all natural, and become more enhanced if I'm out in the sun a lot.

I think the results of henna are fabulous, you should go for it! Though it is a rather permanent thing from what I understand - guess you'd need to be 100% sure you want it :)

[VintageBrooklyn]

Just stunning! I have never seen two buns like this, it looks very stylish and classy!

[Dani]

You have got to be kidding me. Your hair looks insanely awesome! Those are some of the best hair pics I have EVER SEEN. :D Gorgeous hair, fantastic style, and great camera. :D Well done. *clapping for joy*

[FrannyG]

Oh, that's just lovely in your beautiful hair. :blossom: And the photographs are extremely well done as well.

[LoversLullaby]

Oh, your two buns look beautiful, and your hair so shiny, sleek, and pretty. :)

[restourceful]

:thud: *runs off to cut off a sock*

That is awesome!

[Das Siechtum]

Wow! You are so lucky! I've never seen anyone with hair naturally that color. I have some red tones in my dark hair, but they're pretty muted.

Yes, the permanence of henna is an issue, and the reason I keep chickening out. Maybe I'll try cassia to see how I deal with keeping up such a messy process.

[Yozhik]

So pretty! Your hair looks amazing in these buns :)

[Naamah]

Beautiful! I tried one once, but it came out horrible and I haven't tried since. :p I love the color of your hair!

[JaclynBailey]

Relatively new here.... what is a sock bun? I mean I can see what it is... but that doesn't help this newbie much...

[RavennaNight]

Very pretty! Is it a matching pair under that hair? :lol:

[Capybara]

That looks great! I've never seen two sock buns right above each other.

[skay]

Great job. And your photo portrait is awesome.

You've got a lot of hair me thinks! :)

It kind of has a Japanese feel to me. Cool!

[RecklessCharlie]

Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments :o you are all so kind!

But of course! :p

Cassia is supposedly amazing, I haven't personally tried it but I've heard excellent things. My mother has some and her hair always looks fabulous - maybe I'll nick some of hers and try a bit :D

I LOVE the loops of loose hair in the back. Perfect addition to any bun.
