I LOVE the look of the sock buns using larger socks!

[Heidi_234]

Wow beautiful color (is it henna?)! :inlove: Your hair looks so shiny and soft and this bun brings it out even more.

[serious]

Gorgeous!
And, your hairtoys are awesome, love the bubble sticks :)

[Marjolein]

Everything is beautiful - the bun, the color. But please, please could you give me a close-up of those bubble sticks? They seem wonderful!!

[PrincessBob]

That looks gorgeous! Is is fully-rolled? Wow, talk about an amazing head-eating bun! (I love the bubble sticks, by the way) and the other with he three buttons-looking portraits, is that a barrette? You look great!

[Henrietta]

This bun looks perfect on you! :)
Bubble sticks are fantastic!

[ullalein]

Thank you!

I just love myself a statement ;) and if that bun isn't it, i don't know what is!

You look great!Thank you, it is not a barrette, but a comb with fabric covered buttons. :eyebrows: Pretty, ey?

[tinti]

That's an awesome, head eating bun! And ooooh, those bubble hairsticks are just gorgeus!

[ullalein]

And here comes the bubble sticks.

Basically it is a little glass bubble i found in a home decor shop. A clear Christmas tree bubble would work as well.

I just carved a little hole in the end of a blank stick and glued the tip of my bubble in there. If you use a Christmas bubble, you might be able to stick the end of the stick into the bubble.

[Misso]

Very nice. The updo and hairtoys. You also have a very beautiful hair color.

[DarkChocolate]

Gorgeous:) The shine of your hair is amazing:)

[ullalein]

The color is a result of a few years of viciously hennaing my hair.

[Marjolein]

What a great (and completely doable :) ) idea you had with those bubble sticks! Thanks for the explanation with pictures!!

[Emerald88]

Your bun looks great and the bubble hairsticks are amazing.

[MaryLA]

Love the look of a sock bun using a large sock!

[schweedie]

That looks fantastic! Man, I wish I could get the hang of doing a sock bun. Stupid elusive style.

[yellowchariot]

ullalein, your bun pics look very nice, and your hair textures looks amazing. My hair isn't quit thick enough for a sock bun, or rather I just need a smaller sock :confused: haha.

[irishlady]

wow!! That's so pretty :)

I love how sock buns make the hair look thicker (for me anyway, since my hair is only a little past arm pit length). I'm gonna wear my hair in one tomorrow.

[Yozhik]

Holy cow! That's an enormous, gorgeous bun!

I love it, and I love your color :)

[christine1989]

It is amazing! As if your hair color isn't eye catching enough- it looks great in a big bun! :)

[Khepri]

Gorgeous! I can't get the sock bun to work for me...yet. But it looks wonderful on you! And I adore the glass bubble hair sticks! Wonderful idea.

[Gumball]

That came out perfect! The color looks great, too! You're definitely right. Big sock, bigger sock bun. :lol:

[Ivy~Rose]

That's an awesome sock bun, and I LOVE the bubble stick ideas - definitely going to get me some Christmas baubles this year and make some sticks :D Thanks for the super cool idea!! :cheese:

[KittyLost]

That is a monster sock bun :D looks great!

[ddiana1979]

Beautiful. I *love* the color of your hair & the bubble sticks. Very cool idea.

Can someone explain to me, or point me to a video of out to do a fully rolled sock bun? All the videos I've seen just cover the sock once, place a band around to hold the hair in place, and then tuck the ends underneath with pins. I don't quite understand what "fully rolled" means.

[luthien_belewen]

It's beautiful! I love the look of sock buns.

[baaaad_kitty]

[Astarte_1980]

That looks great, I would like to see the sock not in the bun, it looks so big.

[Embrace1913]

Wow your sock bun looks way better than my sad attempts lol And your bubble sticks are genius! :toast:

[BeautifulBella]

I wish I knew how to do that!! it looks gorgeous!

[growing2shine]

I love sock buns. And your sock bun is amazing. And your hair looks so vibrant and healthy.
