I didn't use a sock...I used a thick velvet scrunchie, instead.. :)

This makes my hair feel thick and awesome after a few bald patches caused by head trauma! :) Yay!

Edit...yeah, I know it looks crappy.....oh well... ;) :p

little_cherry, I think it looks very impressive, especially that shine! Nice flower colors too. What bald spot? I see none!

Also a sock is too large for my hair, and I'm glad you thought of the scrunchie idea! I may give this a try latter. 2 thumbs up :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Excellent sock bun! I just managed one myself lately, it is great how thick it makes you hair look, I agree - hooray for sock buns, and yours is fab :cheese:

It looks great!!! Your hair is so glossy. Don't you just love sock buns? For those of us without a lot of length yet it really makes it look like you have more hair than you really do.

Here, I used 2 scrunchies; one to hold the hair in a pony and the other instead of a sock.

Thank you :) I had to cover the bald spots; they're mostly near the front and top..took some time, but I managed. In a few weeks, I won't have to do any careful covering. :)

Rentlle, TrudieCat, Loreley, Evie, Nyghtingale, Rennire, klcqtee; thank you for your lovely comments :)


It looks great!! It's pretty darn big for your length. I definitely have to try it! Love the green with your hair color too, beautiful!Thanks, loralie..I wanted it to be big because my current volume is not va-va voom...2 scrunchies later...voila!

I just did a sock bun and its huge! (Its a bit like carries in SATC when she went to Charlottes wedding to Trey) but because my hair is poker straight so have a ultra smoot result.

Thankyou for inspiring me to try something new! My mum didnt belive it was just an old sock! (I ran downstairs after seeing Cherrys amazing bun and found an over the knee sock that had a hole in!) It looks pretty fancy considering i didnt use any pins or anything in it. This is my new obsession :P
