Giant "fully rolled" sock bun ( large pics )

[UltraBella]

I was given a link to a youtube video that is a fully rolled sock bun and I finally mastered it ! I am completely HORRIBLE at any type of bun, but I got the hang of this one :) Well, the single one anyway. My double one is so crazy looking ;)
If I can find the link I will add it..........

What kind of sock did you use and what color is it?

That looks great!

[UltraBella]

I just used a regular cotton sock, its brown but the color wouldn't matter. My hair is rolled into the sock about ten times, so I could use a hot pink sock and there is no way you could even get a glimpse of it. It's covered by roll after roll of hair :)

[Emerson]

Very nice! :)

[Learning_Mum]

Not so keen on the double one, but the single one looks beautiful, and you are gorgeous!

[tcheney91]

Beautiful! It look so elegant and put together. I wish I had your hair...

[DonyaleM]

Your bun looks really nice! :)

[little_acorn]

:thud: thats a sock bun and a half :D

[ButterCup02]

Hahaha! I love it! It's massive!

[LaurenH]

So pretty! :)

[linda g]

woah! that's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge!

[Kristin]

Holy moly! You have a ton of hair! Now I want to try one of those...I tried pigtail ones in the past, but I have a hard time getting my hair to spread evenly over the sock. Maybe I just need practice.

[Bethie]

:thud: Now that is huge bun

[ibleedlipstick]

That is so awesome! I have yet to master them, but yours look AMAZING!

[spidermom]

Oh my goodness; amazing!

[Arctic_Mama]

Lookin' good! Mine turn out nutso huge as well, but sometimes it's what the doctor ordered :)

[Gumball]

The star of the new hit movie "Honey I Blew Up My Bun!" That's one hefty, albeit good looking, sock bun!

[dainaleeo2]

Wow! That's so awesome & pretty :)
I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do that! Amazing :)

[Naamah]

That's a huge bun! It looks so pretty from the front. :)

[Elainehali]

Very nice! Try to find that video I'm very interested in this bun.

Is the texture in your siggy natural? It's very :thud: thudworthy!

[clichepithet]

Loepsie's sock bun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13J7ArHTkM)! Oh, how I wish I could master this already. Your version is excellent, in all its head-eating glory. :D

[rachelily]

Wow! I seriously envy your thick hair! And that second one is funny, haha. I just have to say that you are BEYOND gorgeous!

[Sammybunny711]

That looks AWESOME, UltraBella! What a cool look! I have the exact link you are talking about saved in my folders on my computer, but unfortunately, I am on my husband's laptop atm. Great achievement with this "do!

[Mae]

I like the double one; it's so funky and fun!

[rusika1]

Oh my. That's so big, it's practically a beehive!

Did you have trouble starting the first wrap and roll?

[Luckysock]

Love it! love the double one, how they are asymetrical - but I think the top one needs to be lowered a bit, what do you think?- I think that would make it so super chic! love it!

Thank you for posting it !!!!!!!!!! This video is great. I would have never know how to do it otherwise :)


Elainehali,
No, I wish !!!!!! that is my hair curled with Conair No-Heat Spiral Curlers.

[UltraBella]

Oh my. That's so big, it's practically a beehive!

Did you have trouble starting the first wrap and roll?

It took me several tries to figure out how to wrap all my ends under to start it, especially since I have layers. I felt like I really needed a third hand, but I got the hang of it quickly after the first couple attempts.

[Tressie]

Congratulations, that is a very impressive bun! It looks lovely and sort of retro to me! You are beautiful and so is your hair! (o:

[GRU]

:thud: thats a sock bun and a half :D

Based on the size, maybe we should call this one a leg-warmer bun instead of a sock bun? :D

It's so funny, now that DS is a hockey player, I have about a dozen pair of "leg-warmers" in my house, which is about ten more pair than I owned back in the 80s! (For those not familiar with hockey equipment, the "hockey socks" that they wear over their shin-guards are huge open-ended socks... basically leg-warmers!)

BTW, it looks great, UB!!!

[jessie58]

I was hoping you'd try this one UltraBella, per the curling hair without heat thread. Did you get any curls out of it?

[jessie58]

Also forgot to say it looks awesome. :D

[Jessica Trapp]

What fun!

No curls at all unfortunately. It seems to pull all the wave out of my hair. But it is really comfortable to wear :)

[Heavenly Locks]

:bigeyes:

You could probably do a STACKED one!

I'm imagining that you'd leave some hair loose at the center and then roll that in a smaller sock bun on top of the bottom, larger one!

Bummer about the waves though. If you want to use it to set your hair maybe you could use several little socks all over. (that'd look silly!)

[elliebean184]

Looks fantastic!
I agree with the "retro" comment: I wore a humungo-sock-bun to a Mad Men party this weekend and got a lot of compliments! (Technically, they were mostly astonished looks, but I figure that's a compliment!)
Nice job, Ultrabella!

[jessie58]

I am wearing this giant sock bun on the top of my head right now. I took it out a while ago to see if it had curled or not and yep, it curled alright, but my hair is barely BSL so it was all bouncy and goofy looking. I put the sock bun back and am going to sleep with it.

[Loreley]

Wow, that's huge and awesome! :D

[rach]

wow i really like that :crush:

[alwayssmiling]

Oooh I love the double bun pic!

[RoseRedDead]

It does indeed look very 1960's-ish. Very cool! I need to try that bun. I will tomorrow when I have clean, dry hair...

[FrannyG]

That really looks beautiful, and I love the way it looks from the front, with the height at the back. It's actually quite flattering.

How do you roll that without crinkling up your ends, by the way? I've seen so many of you do it, but I can't figure that part out.

[Lamb]

Those are formidable sock buns! :D I think your hair is one of the thickest I've ever seen on TLHC, have you ever measured the circumference?

[Theobroma]

Wow. What an incredibly impressive skull-eating bun -- it looks absolutely gorgeous! :thudpile:

[lapushka]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[UltraBella]

Those are formidable sock buns! :D I think your hair is one of the thickest I've ever seen on TLHC, have you ever measured the circumference?

My circumference is 5.6 inches. That is without my bands or face framing layers.

[breezefaerie]

That is gorgeous! Very flattering on you and I've decided you have my dream hair!:crush:

[cindy58]

You are so photogenic! I like how it looks from the front, but it's a bit large from the back.

[SHELIAANN1969]

Holy moley woman, that's a big ole bun ya got there! :thud: It looks great!

[TiaKitty]

Sha-ZAM! That bun is ginormous! Mine looks similar; we have very similar texture and color. If you do it damp, you may get some of the waves, but on me the tightest waves were at the bottom and they got looser as it went up the length. They are pretty waves, too; kind of like the ones in your siggy pic. I'd love to see what damp sock bun waves look like on you!

Franny you tuck your ends into the sock before you roll. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/user/Loepsie#p/u/1/3FV-YO46E8Y) the tutorial below where the OP got the idea from.
I will post my photos in my blog later, I'm in love with this bun.

I tried it last night, but still no waves or curls. Nothing except for the bend where I tuck my ends into the sock. I think it has something to do with how heavy and coarse my hair is.......

[Sammich]

It's eating your head!
What... amazing... hair. *SQUEALS*!
You look so elegant with it! Beautiful, I'm envious. :D

[emmabovary]

Hehe, I like it! It's so... dramatic :D I love sock buns. Shame you couldn't get the sock bun curling to work :(

[Capybara]

Wow!! That is one elegant bun! Almost like an updated beehive. You are so pretty! :)

[Rimi]

I've only recently found this new do. Love it. I'm growing out my silvers (about 8 or 9 inches now!) and get discouraged seeing the old color in a bun with the new growth on the head. But with the lower hair being on the last roll of this sock bun, my hair color closer to being uniform. I say closer because I'm not as gray at the nape as at the top. Anyway, this is my new fav and has saved me from a major chop! LOVE IT. Oh, and it's so very comfortable.

[Lamb]

My circumference is 5.6 inches. That is without my bands or face framing layers.

:thud: I'm green with envy, that's almost twice as much as I have! You're so lucky.

[ButterCream]

Woooooow, how lovely! Is is really elegant!

Kind of so elegant that you could go to an Oscar party (because you are going to them all the time, right?:D) and steal aaaall the attention from all the famous actresses! And they will go:
Oooo, who is doing your hair??:D:D:D

Oh, and you are pretty!!:D
(ok, again with the green face, but in a good way, lol:o)

[JenniferNoel]

Wow that bun is huge (I know, pointing out the very obvious)!
It's very elegant looking and massively stunning!
I wish I had that much hair... :D

[Yozhik]

Enormously awesome! :D
It's hard to believe something that large on your head would be stable -- but the video says it's very secure, right?

I want to try, but I don't have any "extra" socks lying about . . .

[sugarpixie10988]

I LOVE it! It's so big and elegant, now I want long hair even more than I originally did :D.

[jessie58]

Okay, here's mine. I did the You Tube tutorial for the rolled sock bun with curls. You do it with dampened hair so that when you take it out the next day, it's curled.
I wore the bun all night, it was so comfortable. In fact I went around the house with it all day too. I got dressed, put on some makeup, then took it out and here's what happened.
Those of you know me, know that I already have big hair but this is BIG hair.
It would make gorgeous curls on BSL length and give incredible body to finer hair.

I was inspired. I tried to learn how to do this from a video. I am not sure if my hair's too short or if my fingers just didn't work. LOL. I'll try again.

[TiaKitty]

Yeah, this does give huge hair when you take it down! Your's looks so bouncy and full, Jessie58!

I had to come and look at it again, UltraBella, just to get the whole thing to fit in my head, it's so huge...

[UltraBella]

Jessie58, I am so jealous !!! I have absolutely no curl when taken down. Boo :(

[jessie58]

I did lightly dampen my hair, and my hair usually curls quite well and stays that way for days, but not with this bun for some reason. Nothing !

Must be the sheer volume of hair. Such a shame. It would be gorgeous if it would work.

[MissManda]

That looks amazing! I agree that it looks remarkably classy and elegant on you!
I think I see the bun plotting world domination... :D

I can't wait for my hair to get longer so my sock bun can be even more abnormally ginormous. Hee hee. I haven't quite mastered this style yet, but I'm pretty close. And I totally agree that it is super-comfy to wear!

Thanks for sharing! :cheese:

[little_cherry]

Wow! That's an impressive sized sock bun! :D

[Sara_1987]

I love this look.
I also found that tutorial on youtube and wanted to try it to get curls, but I can't do the sock bun for the life of me! :(

Anyone have any tips? When I try to roll all the hair starts coming out and it gets super messy. I don't really understand where the hair is supposed to go....???

Perhaps you could try leaving the sock "loose" and put it over your hair (like an arm inside a sleeve) with it pulled down to the ends of your hair, then roll up the sock and hair at the same time? You could even fold the end of the sock over the very ends of your hair by an inch to help "capture" them.

I haven't tried this method myself, but I thought it might be something to help folks who have layers that try to escape the rolling-up process.

[jessie58]

I had a heckuva time rolling mine because it's short and has some layers. The key for me was to tuck the ends in very well at the beginning and as you turn the sock inside itself, go all around tightening and tucking the hair with each turn. Once it's rolled down to the head, tuck again and tighten.

[missmandy]

Haha! I love that. :D

[Patty lou]

I love your giant sock bun, both the back and front views are lovely, you are very beautiful and the front view looks so elegant.

Peace & Blessings

[Islandgrrl]

Wow, that's some bun!

I haven't mastered this one yet. I end up with....well....it's a mess, whatever it is!

[UltraBella]

I had a mess the first few tries too. Just like Jessie58 said, I have to be very careful to tuck all my ends at the beginning so none are loose as I roll it. It takes just a little practice to get the hang of it, especially if you have layers !

[DakarNick]

Wonderful! I will have to see if soon-to-be dear wife will let me try this.

[Alaia]

Love the huge bun. :D

I'm going to have to try it, I think. But given that I have layers, that may be a problem.

[Kristin]

I was motivated to try this bun again after seeing UltraBella's lovely pics. It worked! Yay! I love this bun! Once you get the hang of it, it is super easy and quick. I have layers, too, and had to carefully roll/tuck them the whole way, but it was worth it.

Here it is: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=4758&pictureid=74172

It got a bit lumpy at the top, so I still need to get the hair a bit more uniform. I am a bit concerned about the size...My hair isn't even waist-length yet and I used a dress sock...

[yellowchariot]

UltraBella, your hair looks extraordinary! I've never seen 2 sock buns that thick at one time, AMAZING! Those are some Ultra do's! :thumbsup:
Hence, the "UltraBun" hehe! rock one!

[intothemist1999]

I stumbed across this thread when doing a search as a spin-off from a thread I started about bun waves. (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=50459) I am SOOO glad I found this! I hadn't heard of the "fully rolled" version before. I love the idea of a "stacked" version!!

I just tried it this morning and I love the way it looks!! My camera is AWOL so I can't post a pic. That video was really helpful. I found it quite easy to do, and I agree the trick is to keep smoothing and adjusting as you go.

However, like the young lady does there, I'm not sure if *I* could do it without some pins. I've done it more on the back of my head and it's not flush with my head and now (after about 45 minutes) is kind of hanging and tugging if I move my head. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

I have a hunch it's because my socks is too short (?) or something, because the hole in the middle is a bit larger than I'd expect. At the same time, it would be harder to roll, I would have thought, if the whole were smaller? Maybe higher up on the head would help, too.

I'll have to experiment I guess, and see if I can find another lone sock whose mate has disappeared into the void that is the sock-eating machine....aka "dryer".

[GRU]

You could also try doing it with a child-sized sock, which would have a smaller diameter than an adult sock.

Hey, that's my sock bun! Haha xD
It's a shame the curls didn't work for you, It's my all time favourite curling method =) But I guess if your hair is already curly it really just flattens it out...

Maisen, that was my experience the first time I tried it. The solution was to keep rolling even after all the hair had been devoured by the sock. Keep rolling, holding the sockbun flat against your head. When you'rve rolled it "into your head" enough, it will stay put like a champ.

HTH :flower:

I tried one today too! No pictures, alas, because it's nowhere as impressive as any of yours.

I'm wondering how you fasten it - if you do at all. With pins? Elastics? I put a scrunchie around mine...

[kdaniels8811]

I don't fasten mine at all, just roll it tightly down and it stays all by itself, even while running or sleeping.

[UltraBella]

I use a few hair pins to make sure mine stays in place.

[hmmm]

Thanks for the replies. I went running right after, and it kind of semi-collapsed on me, probably because my hair is so short. I put it up with bobby pins after that and it was fine.

You might be surprised. I've got long layers and was able to do it with wet hair. I did have to put an elastic over it to tuck the stray layered pieces into, but it still looked better than any other bun I could create.

Wow! That's quite a bun! (and the face that goes with it is gorgeous too:) )

I can't do anything but agree, I just love it! :)

Well there's no harm in trying :) I do want to learn some new hairstyles

Used one to those scrunchies made of fake hair to roll the bun instead of the sock - it worked great.
